Turn off the AC switch on the air conditioning. The Tiguan is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4506mm, width 1809mm, height 1685mm, and a wheelbase of 2684mm. The Tiguan is equipped with a 1.8T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 118kW, a maximum power speed of 4500 to 6200 rpm, a maximum torque of 250Nm, and a maximum torque speed of 1500 to 4500 rpm.
I've been driving my Tiguan for quite a while and am quite familiar with using the heater in winter. First, you need to start the engine because the heater relies on engine heat. Then look at the air conditioning control area on the center console—there's usually a round temperature knob. Turn it toward the red side for heating mode, typically setting it above 25°C for noticeable effect. Don’t forget to press the fan button to activate the airflow, keeping the speed at medium to avoid excessive noise. Adjust the vent direction to blow toward the feet or face area for faster warming. After starting, wait a minute or two for it to warm up before driving off. If the heater isn’t warm, it might be due to low coolant or incorrect settings—these are easy to check. Also, turning off the AC button when using the heater saves energy and money. Following these steps, the car interior will warm up nicely within minutes.
