How to Position the Wiper Blades on a Volkswagen Tiguan?
2 Answers
Press the vehicle's one-touch start button to turn on the power. The dashboard lights will illuminate, indicating the power is on. Pull the wiper switch of the Tiguan. Turn off the power while the Tiguan's wipers are in motion. At this point, the Tiguan's wipers will be positioned in the center.
When I first got my Tiguan, I didn’t know this either, but later a 4S technician taught me a trick: After turning off the engine, immediately push the wiper stalk downward (don’t let go), and when the wipers reach the middle position, quickly cut the power. Forcing them directly can damage the motor. Older models even require popping the hood first to locate a small latch on the wiper shaft. Remember to always lift them before winter freezing—last time I didn’t, and the blades froze to the windshield; pulling them hard cracked the rubber. Now, newer models come with a service mode for convenience: just go to Vehicle Settings → Windshield Service Position in the infotainment system, and the wipers will automatically rise.
