How to set the maintenance mileage for Volkswagen Tiguan?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Tiguan's maintenance mileage cannot be set by the owner. The car maintenance cycle refers to the interval mileage or time for car maintenance, aiming to keep the vehicle in good condition, optimize car performance, extend the service life of parts, and provide an extra layer of safety for your travel. The Volkswagen Tiguan is a car produced by Shanghai Volkswagen, positioned as a compact SUV. In terms of body size, the car has a length, width, and height of 4506mm, 1809mm, and 1685mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2684mm. In terms of safety features, the Tiguan comes standard with ESP body stability system, EBD electronic brake force distribution, and ASR traction control. Some less common features like EDS electronic differential lock, EPB electronic parking brake, automatic parking function, and TPR tire pressure monitoring system have also become standard configurations for the Tiguan.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Tiguan for several years, and setting the maintenance mileage reminder is quite straightforward. Here's the general method: First, turn off the engine to ensure the vehicle is stationary. Then locate the small button on the instrument panel—its position may vary depending on the model year, but it's usually near the steering wheel or at the lower right of the dashboard. Press and hold the button without releasing it, then turn the ignition to the ON position to power the battery without starting the engine. Wait until the maintenance indicator (like a wrench symbol) on the screen starts flashing, then release the button and press the confirmation or similar button to reset the mileage. The default maintenance interval is preset, such as every 5,000 kilometers. After resetting, the system will recalculate the next reminder from scratch. A quick reminder: don’t skip this step out of laziness. Regular maintenance helps avoid major repairs, like checking the engine oil and filters. I personally inspect my car every six months to keep it running smoothly. The manual has detailed diagrams, and if the button malfunctions, you’ll need to visit the dealership for assistance. Don’t be afraid to try—practice makes perfect!
