How to Lift the Front Wipers on the Tiguan?
2 Answers
The method to lift the front wipers on the Tiguan is: 1. After turning off the engine or power, within 10 seconds, push the wiper control lever toward the steering wheel once; 2. At this point, the wiper blades will automatically move to the middle of the windshield, and then you can manually lift them. The Tiguan is a compact SUV launched by SAIC Volkswagen, with a length of 4506mm, width of 1809mm, height of 1685mm, and a wheelbase of 2684mm. It is equipped with a 1.8T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 118kw, and is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
As a long-time Volkswagen Tiguan owner, this operation is quite particular. Don't rush to get out after turning off the engine. First, pull the wiper lever on the right side of the steering wheel downward and hold for one second before releasing. At this point, the wipers will automatically lift and stop in the middle of the windshield—this is called maintenance mode. Taking advantage of this, you can directly lift the wiper arms after getting out of the car without worrying about scratching the paint on the hood. This method is essential when replacing wiper blades or preventing them from freezing in winter. Remember to act quickly; the operation won't respond if more than 30 seconds pass after turning off the engine. If it doesn't work, simply restart the engine and try again. Some older Tiguan models might not have this feature, requiring you to manually turn off the engine when the wipers reach their highest point.
