It will be possible to restore the Climatronic of the Volkswagen Tiguan by turning on the instrument cluster, so that it is possible to press the controls located on the central dashboard panel. Once the instrument cluster is on, you can simultaneously press and hold the ECON button and the button with the icon of the arrow pointing towards the passengers' faces.

This way, you will notice that the temperature indicators of the dual-zone climate control will reset; after waiting a few seconds, the previously set temperature will return to the indicators, and the air conditioning will be reset.
