How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on Tiguan?
2 Answers
Tiguan low-end models have an exclamation mark button in front of the gear shift. Press and hold this button to reset the tire pressure light. For Tiguan high-end models, adjust and reset the tire pressure light via the multifunction steering wheel. Below is an explanation of the tire pressure monitoring system: 1. The tire pressure monitoring system is a type of active safety device. It can alert the driver in time when there are signs of danger in the tires, prompting them to take appropriate measures, thereby avoiding serious accidents. 2. With the tire pressure monitoring system, tires can always be kept working within the specified pressure and temperature range, reducing tire damage and extending tire lifespan. 3. Data shows that driving with insufficient tire pressure, when the tire pressure is 10% below the normal value, reduces tire lifespan by 15%. 4. When the tire pressure is 30% below the standard value, fuel consumption increases by 10%. 5. The tire pressure monitoring system extends tire lifespan, saves expensive fuel, prevents tire blowouts, and enhances the active safety of vehicle driving.
I've had the tire pressure light come on several times while driving my Tiguan, which is quite common. Usually, the light indicates that one of the tires has low or uneven pressure. The solution involves two steps: first, ensure all tire pressures are correct by stopping in a safe place, using a tire pressure gauge to check all four tires, and inflating them to the standard values listed in the vehicle manual or on the B-pillar label. After correcting the tire pressure, reset the system. Sit back in the driver's seat, turn the ignition to the ON position without starting the engine, locate the SET button on the left side of the steering wheel, and hold it for about 10 seconds until the light goes off. If this doesn't work, there might be a leak or a system malfunction, and it's advisable to visit a 4S shop for inspection. It's recommended to check tire pressure every two weeks to maintain vehicle health and improve fuel efficiency. Low tire pressure can damage tires and increase the risk of a blowout, so it's important to take it seriously.
