The solution for the Tiguan displaying 'triprip': Press both buttons on the left and right sides of the instrument panel simultaneously. The Tiguan is a compact SUV under the Volkswagen brand, with dimensions of 4712mm in length, 1839mm in width, and 1673mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2791mm. The Tiguan is equipped with a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 118kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm. The engine reaches its maximum power at 4500 to 6200 rpm and its maximum torque at 1500 to 4500 rpm. It features direct fuel injection technology, uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and cast iron cylinder block, and is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving for over a decade and encountered the Tiguan's trip display issue several times. This is usually caused by a stuck journey counter - just hold the TRIP button on the steering wheel for a few seconds to reset it. If there's no response, check whether the button is broken or has poor contact; sometimes dust buildup can block it. Low battery voltage may also cause instrument cluster failure - I experienced this once and it worked normally after battery replacement. Pay attention to trip count changes during normal driving, don't wait until it completely stops working. If you encounter garbled characters, try restarting the vehicle - most times it's a minor glitch. If the problem persists, have a shop check the wiring or sensors rather than disassembling it yourself to avoid damaging the electrical system. Regular maintenance checks on instrument displays can prevent such troubles.
