How to Reset the Sunshade of the Tiguan Sunroof?

Tiguan sunroof sunshade reset method: Pull the sunroof rotary button upward and let the sunroof operate automatically for one cycle to reset. The Tiguan is a car produced by Shanghai Volkswagen, equipped with a panoramic sunroof, leather seats, xenon headlights, Vienna premium leather seats, and a dual-zone automatic climate control system. The vehicle also features self-detecting digital rear parking sensors, cruise control, electrically adjustable and heated exterior mirrors, automatic wipers, 12-way power-adjustable driver's seat, rear parking sensors, six airbags, electronic parking brake with Autohold function, and more.
Last time I encountered a jam in the Tiguan's sunroof roller blind, the reset method was quite simple: First, make sure the vehicle is ignited, then press and hold the upward direction button on the sunroof control switch for about 5 seconds. You'll see the roller blind automatically move to the reset position, then release to complete the process. If it doesn’t work, try repeating the operation or check if there’s any debris blocking the track. I solved the problem by cleaning the dust from the track with a soft cloth. This trick was learned from a car owner forum and is quite practical. After resetting, the roller blind opens and closes much smoother, and it also avoids strange noises. When driving, pay attention to operating the sunroof gently—don’t push too hard—to reduce such malfunctions. Regularly checking and lubricating the track can also prevent jams and extend its lifespan.
Resetting the Tiguan sunshade is essentially an initialization process: After starting the engine, hold the sunroof switch upward and keep it pressed. Typically, within 4-6 seconds, the sunshade will fully close or reset to position. If it's not responsive, it might be due to dirt on the tracks affecting the sensors—gently clean them and try again. I've also noticed that low battery power can interfere with this process, so it's best to ensure the car isn't underpowered. After resetting, test the open and close operations a few times to confirm normal function, which can prevent future issues like sunroof leaks or noise. During regular driving, avoid sudden or forceful operation of the sunroof to maintain system durability.
