The main cruise control switch for the Tiguan L is located on the right functional area of the steering wheel. The usage method is as follows: first, turn on the cruise control by switching it to the 'on' position. Once in cruise mode, the dashboard will display the cruising speed, and a green cruise control indicator light will appear on the right side of the dashboard. The dimensions of the Tiguan L are: length 4716mm, width 1859mm, height 1677mm, with a wheelbase of 2791mm. The Tiguan L is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 162 kW at 4500 to 6200 rpm and a maximum torque of 350 Nm at 1500 to 4400 rpm.

I've always driven Volkswagen cars, and the main cruise control switch for the Tiguan L is quite easy to find—it's on the button-equipped control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel. During normal driving, you can spot it by turning the steering wheel slightly to the left. There's a small button or toggle on the stalk, usually labeled 'CRUISE.' Hold it down for a second, and a green icon will light up on the dashboard, indicating that cruise control is activated. Then, you can use the +/- buttons to set your desired speed. I often use this feature on long drives—it saves fuel and reduces fatigue in my right foot. However, beginners should check the manual first to confirm the exact location, as designs may vary slightly between model years (e.g., older versions might place it on the lower right of the steering wheel). Once activated, cruise control automatically deactivates if you brake or lightly press the cancel button on the stalk. Overall, the placement is very ergonomic and doesn’t obstruct normal driving visibility.

As an SUV owner who frequently drives, I find the cruise control switch on the left steering wheel stalk of the Tiguan L most convenient. There's a toggle at the top of the stalk—just a gentle push activates the system. When operating it, I usually engage it on highways with light traffic by pressing once, and it memorizes the current speed. To adjust speed, use the small buttons on the stalk—push up to increase or down to decrease. The advantage is it frees your feet, making long drives less tiring, but remember it's an assist feature—you can't fully relax your attention. If you can't locate it, don't distract yourself by checking the manual while driving—either pull over or ask the passenger to help. Safety first—after activation, watch for dashboard indicators to avoid misuse. The cruise design in this car is simple and intuitive—I got the hang of it after a few drives, making it ideal for commuters.

The cruise control switch for the Tiguan L is fixed on the left control stalk of the steering wheel. It has a raised button that activates cruise mode when pressed. Then, you can set the target speed using the buttons beside the stalk. I recommend familiarizing yourself with the location during your first use by practicing in an empty parking lot to avoid confusion on the road. Incorrect operation may cause the system to malfunction, such as pressing too lightly or forgetting to turn on the main switch. Once you locate the switch, testing it on a straight, flat road is the safest approach. This position is easy to reach without interfering with steering, and Volkswagen has always designed this feature to be highly practical.
