How to operate the air conditioning in the Tiguan L?
3 Answers
Tiguan L air conditioning operation method: 1. AC is the air conditioning switch, MAX means maximum, and the internal circulation can be manually switched; 2. By default, when the air conditioning is turned on and adjusted to the maximum state (or when the temperature difference between inside and outside the car is relatively large), the internal circulation will automatically turn on. In other cases, it generally does not automatically activate. The Tiguan L is a mid-size SUV under SAIC Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4712mm in length, 1839mm in width, 1673mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2791mm. The overall design of the Tiguan L is rugged and imposing. The front face adopts Volkswagen's family-style design language with more distinct edges. The grille that runs across the front is connected to the headlight clusters on both sides, forming an integrated look with high recognition.
When I used to drive the Tiguan L, the air conditioning operation was quite simple. After starting the car, I just pressed the AUTO button on the dashboard, and the system would take over automatically, adjusting based on the in-car temperature and the set temperature. Every time I got in the car, the first thing I did was turn the temperature knob to the ideal setting—around 25 degrees was most comfortable. In summer, I might set it lower, and in winter, a bit higher. The fan speed usually didn’t need manual adjustment as it controlled itself, but if I wanted more airflow for quicker cooling, I’d press the fan speed increase button (there are up and down buttons for this). There’s also the recirculation mode—when the outside air quality was poor, I’d manually switch to recirculation for better air quality inside. For more detailed adjustments, using the central control screen was more convenient, like the defogging function—pressing the AC switch combined with low temperature worked great. Remember to check the cabin air filter regularly to avoid clogging, which affects cooling efficiency.
I've played around with the Touareg L's air conditioning a few times and found its automatic function super convenient. Just press the AUTO button and it handles most operations. My habit is to set the temperature right after starting the engine. The knob is next to the instrument panel, so a quick turn does the trick—22°C is my usual setting. However, in summer, I also increase the fan speed by pressing the button above to boost airflow for faster cooling. Occasionally, I use the central control screen to switch between internal and external circulation. During rush hour traffic jams, I turn on internal circulation to prevent exhaust fumes from entering. Normally, the AC runs automatically, so I don't need to worry about adjusting the fan speed—the system balances it. For defogging, just turn on the AC, set a low temperature, and the window fog clears in seconds. I recommend cleaning the vents monthly, as dust buildup can affect health.
