To reset the AdBlue warning light on a Volkswagen Tiguan, open the rear hatch to access the components inside the boot: here, lift the covering at the base of the compartment to reach the lower part. The cap for topping up the additive fluid can then be removed to add the necessary amount of fluid into the designated tank.

Once the top-up is complete, turn on the ignition and check that the warning light has disappeared from the dashboard.
