Park the Tiguan, remove the key, and push the wiper control lever downward to enter the maintenance mode, allowing you to lift the wiper blades. Here is additional information about the Tiguan: 1. The Tiguan is a compact SUV under Volkswagen, which has gained popularity among consumers since its launch. 2. The Tiguan is equipped with two engines: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine. 3. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine delivers 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, with a maximum power at 5000 rpm and a maximum torque range from 1750 to 3000 rpm.

When I used to drive a Tiguan, I often needed to lift the wipers to replace the blades. The method is quite simple: first, turn off the engine to ensure safety. Then, gently push down once on the wiper stalk located on the right side of the steering wheel, as if you were activating the wipers, but immediately turn the key to shut off the ignition. The wipers will automatically stop in the middle of the windshield, allowing you to easily lift them up and hold them steady from the base. Remember not to do this while the car is running or the wipers are in motion, as it can easily scratch the glass, and in winter, it may freeze and get stuck. Regularly checking the wiper blades extends their lifespan and saves on repair costs.

Many people discuss the Tiguan's wipers, and I have a tip to share. The steps are quite straightforward: after parking and turning off the engine, move the wiper control lever to the lowest position to simulate the startup state, then immediately turn off the power. The system will automatically enter service mode, and the wipers will stop at the midpoint, allowing you to lift them steadily. Avoid rushing during the process to prevent glass pressure damage. It's recommended to check the wipers monthly, clean dirt at the base to avoid rust and jamming. Proper maintenance can enhance driving visibility and safety.

Operating the Tiguan's wipers to stand up is not complicated. After turning off the vehicle, press the wiper lever downward once to immediately cut off the power, then release it when the wipers stop in the middle of the windshield, and gently lift them from the bottom. Ensure the car is completely turned off before operating to avoid damaging the motor or windshield. Doing this regularly allows for replacing the rubber blades or clearing snow.
