To ensure that clean air circulates within the ventilation system of the Volkswagen Tiguan, there is a dedicated filter at the external air intake that must be replaced every fifteen thousand miles. To carry out the operation, sit in the passenger seat, open the glove compartment on the dashboard, unclip the catch on the right side, lift the two tabs on the edge, and free the glove compartment.

You will find the filter cover installed horizontally; open it by acting on the clips, remove the old filter, and replace it with a new one. Close the cover, reposition the glove compartment, and secure the catch.
