How to Turn on the Ambient Lighting in the Tiguan L?
2 Answers
The ambient lighting in the Tiguan L does not have a separate switch control. Simply set the light adjustment knob to the 'auto' position, and as it gets darker outside, the ambient lighting will automatically turn on. Below is more information about the Tiguan L's ambient lighting: 1. Locations of the ambient lighting: There are a total of 16 ambient lighting points, including illumination on the four door trims, inner door handle lighting, door armrest lighting, and footwell lighting (front and rear). All use white LED light sources, and the brightness can be adjusted (1-100%) via the central MIB system. This creates a soft, natural light effect, enhancing a warm and comfortable atmosphere when entering the car at night, making the ride more pleasant. The ambient lighting also serves a guiding function, improving convenience. 2. It is important to note that when using the ambient lighting, its brightness should not interfere with the driver's visibility. If the ambient lighting is too bright, it may distract the driver and hinder timely reactions to sudden situations outside the vehicle.
I've been driving the Tiguan L for two years, and the interior ambient lighting is pretty cool. Turning it on is actually quite simple. After starting the engine, click on the main interface of the central control screen, find the interior lighting option in the vehicle settings, and tap on the ambient light to turn it on. The Tiguan L supports multiple colors and brightness adjustments, such as selecting blue or warm yellow tones, with 10 levels of brightness adjustment. I usually increase the brightness at night to enhance the ambiance. Don’t forget to check if there’s a physical button at the lower right corner of the dashboard—some older models can be activated directly by pressing the button. The settings can be automatically memorized, so the mode will be restored the next time you start the car. It’s quite practical for daily use; turning on the ambient light on rainy days or during traffic jams can help relieve fatigue, but make sure the brightness isn’t too high to avoid affecting visibility. If you encounter any issues, refer to the vehicle manual or ask a technician at the 4S shop—don’t tamper with the wiring randomly.
