How to Turn on the Heating in the Tiguan L?
2 Answers
After starting the Tiguan L, wait approximately 8-15 minutes for the water temperature to reach the normal operating level before turning on the heating. When the water temperature reaches the midpoint, adjust the air conditioning circulation to internal circulation, switch to heating mode, and do not turn on the AC switch. The method to activate the car's heating is as follows: 1. After starting the car, wait approximately 8-15 minutes for the water temperature to reach the normal operating level before turning on the heating. (This is when the water temperature reaches the midpoint.) 2. Adjust the air conditioning circulation to internal circulation. 3. Switch to heating mode, which may be indicated by a red zone or a sun symbol, depending on the vehicle. 4. Do not turn on the air conditioning (do not activate the AC switch), as the heating utilizes the car's own heat cycle to save energy. 5. Adjust the air conditioning to a suitable setting and direct the airflow as desired. 6. The heating airflow is generally directed forward and toward the feet, while the cooling airflow is usually directed forward.
I've been driving Volkswagen cars for over a decade, and the Tiguan L's heating operation is simple and practical. After starting the vehicle, just press the AUTO button on the center console, and the system automatically adjusts the fan speed and temperature. Then, rotate the temperature knob to increase it to your desired warmth range, such as above 24 degrees. The fan speed controls itself, but you can manually increase it for faster warming. In cold weather, use the recirculation mode to quickly fill the cabin with warm air, then switch to fresh air mode after a few minutes to let in some fresh air and prevent window fogging. Don't forget to clean the air filter and vents during winter maintenance to keep the warm air fresh and dry, ensuring a comfortable winter drive.
