How to reset the sunroof of the Tiguan?
2 Answers
The method to reset the Tiguan sunroof is mainly as follows: 1. The sunroof must be completely closed at this time, and the manual crank can be used to close the sunroof. 2. Turn on the ignition, hold down the round sunroof switch and do not release it. After a few seconds, the sunroof will automatically open and then close, at which point you can release the switch. 3. If the sunroof occasionally opens automatically, replacing the sunroof switch should solve the issue. Additional information: 1. The car sunroof is installed on the roof and can effectively circulate air inside the vehicle, increasing the intake of fresh air. At the same time, the sunroof can also broaden the view and facilitate mobile photography and videography. 2. The functions of a car sunroof: (1) It can quickly cool down the car. If you park under the sun, especially in summer, the temperature inside the car can easily reach above 60°C. In this case, you should first open the windows and the sunroof to quickly expel the hot air while driving. (2) It can eliminate fog. In seasons with large temperature differences, if the side windows are closed while driving, the front windshield can easily fog up. Opening the sunroof for a few seconds can quickly remove the fog. (3) It can quickly exchange fresh air. Opening the sunroof while driving can rapidly increase the speed of air circulation inside the car, thereby improving ventilation inside the cabin.
I've been driving a Tiguan for several years, and once the sunroof got stuck halfway open, which was quite annoying. The recovery process isn't difficult: first turn the car key to the ACC or ON position, make sure the sunroof is completely closed, then press and hold the upward direction on the sunroof switch for about 20 seconds without moving until you hear a slight click, then release and try opening and closing it—it's like relearning the position. If it still doesn't work, turn off the car, disconnect the negative battery terminal for a few minutes, then reconnect it to restart the system. Regular cleaning of the tracks is crucial; use a soft cloth to remove dust and leaves, otherwise blockages can make it more prone to jamming. By the way, other Volkswagen models like the Golf have similar reset methods. Doing the maintenance yourself saves money and hassle. Make it a habit to check the sliding tracks every quarter and apply some silicone grease for lubrication—preventing problems is much better than panicking when something goes wrong.
