How to Operate When Starting the Volkswagen Tiguan?
3 Answers
The correct steps to start the Volkswagen Tiguan are as follows: 1. First, press the start button once. After the ACC light turns on, press the start button again. 2. At this point, the one-touch start button will turn green, and the vehicle will begin self-checking. 3. Once the vehicle completes the self-check, press the brake and press the one-touch start button once more to start the vehicle. The correct gear shifting sequence when turning off the Volkswagen Tiguan: 1. ① Stop the vehicle → ② Press the brake → ③ Shift to N gear → ④ Release the brake → ⑤ Engage the handbrake → ⑥ Turn off the engine → ⑦ Shift to P gear (Note: When parking on a slope, steps ④ and ⑤ should be reversed; it is also acceptable to turn off the engine after shifting to P gear). 2. If you shift to P gear before engaging the handbrake, the vehicle may move slightly if not on level ground. This can cause the locked mechanical components of the transmission to jam more tightly, subjecting the metal parts to greater impact forces.
I've been driving the Volkswagen Tiguan for several years. The first step when starting is to sit firmly in the driver's seat and remember to fasten the seatbelt, otherwise the car will sound an alarm. Then, press the brake pedal with your right foot, insert the key into the ignition lock or directly press the keyless start button, turn the key to the ON position for a few seconds, wait for the dashboard lights to come on and check the engine indicator light, oil pressure, etc. Make sure there are no abnormal warnings before turning to START to ignite the engine. After starting, don't rush to go; observe the tachometer until it stabilizes before shifting to D or R gear to start. In hot summer weather, the air conditioning will automatically turn on to cool and adjust the temperature, which is quite convenient. In winter, warm up the engine for a minute or two before starting to protect it. The Tiguan starts quite smoothly, but don't forget regular car maintenance. Safety first—stay focused throughout the starting process and avoid distractions.
As a new car owner, I've only had my Volkswagen Tiguan for a few months, and starting it is super simple and straightforward. After getting in and closing the door, adjust the seat and rearview mirror to a comfortable position. Gently press the brake pedal with your right foot—not too hard or too loose—to avoid the system getting stuck. For the key type, turn it all the way, or for the push-button type, press the start button once. Once you hear the engine sound, it means the car has started. Check the central display screen or instrument panel for information like fuel level and battery status to ensure everything is normal before slowly moving off. After starting, I like to set up the navigation or Bluetooth music. The automatic window defogger also activates before and after starting, which is practical and hassle-free. When parking, always remember to check if the handbrake is in the correct position to avoid difficulties starting the car next time.
