Tiguan tire pressure monitoring light reset method: Press and hold the tire pressure monitoring button in the storage compartment until the warning light on the dashboard disappears. Additional information about tire pressure: 1. There is a storage compartment opposite the front passenger seat in the Tiguan, which contains a tire pressure monitoring switch button with a tire pressure monitoring icon on it. 2. When the tire pressure is abnormal, the tire pressure monitoring light on the dashboard will illuminate, and the owner should check the tires. If the tire pressure light comes on while driving, reduce speed, control the steering wheel, and find a safe place to inspect. 3. The normal tire pressure for most tires is around 2.3-2.5 kpa. In winter, it can be appropriately increased by 0.2 kpa, while in summer, due to higher temperatures, the pressure can be reduced by 0.15 kpa below the standard to avoid high-temperature blowouts.
As a seasoned driver with years of experience, it's common for the tire pressure warning light to come on in my Tiguan. Here's how I safely handle it. The first step is to pull over to a safe spot and stop driving to avoid a potential blowout or accident. Then, use a tire pressure gauge to check each tire's pressure—the normal range is between 2.3 and 2.5 bar. If the pressure is low, use a portable air pump to inflate, but don't overfill, as it can affect handling. Next, start the engine and locate the multifunction button on the left side of the steering wheel. Enter the vehicle settings menu, find the tire pressure reset option, and confirm. The light turning off means it's done. If the light comes on repeatedly, it might be due to sensor dust or a leak, so a full check at the repair shop is recommended. I regularly check tire pressure to extend tire life, save fuel, and ensure safe driving—never overlook it.
