How to Check Tire Pressure on Your Tiguan

  1. 1

    Check when tires are cold

    Wait at least 3 hours after driving or check in the morning before use.

  2. 2

    Remove valve cap

    Unscrew the cap from the tire valve stem and keep it in a safe place.

  3. 3

    Use a tire pressure gauge

    Press the gauge firmly onto the valve stem to get a reading.

  4. 4

    Add or release air as needed

    Match the pressure to your Tiguan's recommended specification above.

Temperature Note: Tire pressure can change by about 1 PSI for every 10°F temperature change. In winter, you may need to add air more frequently. In summer, avoid over-inflation.
