How to Turn on the Heater in Volkswagen Tiguan?
3 Answers
The method to turn on the heater in Volkswagen Tiguan is as follows: 1. After starting the car, wait for 8 to 15 minutes until the water temperature rises to the normal level; 2. Adjust the heater switch on the center console to the red zone; 3. Turn on the fan switch to activate the heater; 4. Set the air conditioning circulation mode to internal circulation and use the temperature control to increase the temperature. Taking the Volkswagen Sagitar 2021 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4753mm, width 1800mm, height 1462mm, wheelbase 2731mm, fuel tank capacity 63l, luggage compartment capacity 400 to 1530l, curb weight 1600kg, and the body structure is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV.
When I first bought my Volkswagen Tiguan, I was also figuring out how to turn on the heater. After a few tries, it became easy. After starting the car and waiting for the engine to warm up, I adjusted the knob in the middle of the air conditioning panel. Turning it to the right into the red area increased the temperature. Pushing the fan speed button upwards increased the airflow, but I usually chose the middle setting for comfort. Don’t forget to press the A/C button to turn it off, as this saves electricity and fuel when using the heater. Using the heater in winter is quite important. I think it’s better not to always keep the air circulation on recirculation mode; occasionally switching to fresh air mode can let in fresh air and reduce fogging. After driving for half a year, I became familiar with it and could even understand the temperature changes displayed on the dashboard.
I've been driving for over a decade, turning on the heater in my Tiguan is a piece of cake. Wait a few minutes after starting the engine until it warms up, then turn the temperature knob in the AC control panel to a higher setting and increase the fan speed at the vents. The old trick is not to rush with the heater – wait until the coolant temperature gauge reaches the midpoint for optimal performance. Remember to turn off the A/C button, otherwise you'll get an uncomfortable mix of hot and cold air. After turning off the AC in summer, I always clean the vents to prevent dust buildup that might block the airflow. The Tiguan's design is quite sensible with well-placed buttons – new owners can get familiar with it by spending just a few minutes reading the manual pages.
