Inside, passengers can expect upholstered Vienna leather seats with embossed “R” on the headrests, embellished stitching, aluminum and black gloss on the front fascia and doors, and stainless steel overlays on the pedals. Basic equipment includes both a 12-inch Digital Cockpit and a 15-inch touchscreen display of the Discover Premium multimedia system, a panoramic sunroof and a four-zone climate control system.

Optional equipment for Touareg R includes air suspension, Night Vision system with infrared camera, ventilation of front seats, projection display and 780-watt Dynaudio audio system with 13 speakers.

At the time of presentation, the Touareg R is the first hybrid crossover to be equipped with Trailer Assist.

2010 Volkswagen Touareg Owner’s Manual — Questions and Answers

Where is the indicator light located on a 2010 Volkswagen Touareg remote key?

The indicator light is built into the remote control vehicle key itself. It illuminates when you press a button on the key briefly. Owner’s Manual, p. 38

Why is my 2010 Volkswagen Touareg air conditioner not working properly?

Several factors can affect performance. The dust and pollen filter with activated carbon insert may need replacement if its effectiveness has decreased. Operating in heavily polluted air requires more frequent filter changes than normal intervals. Additionally, if the air conditioner compressor is switched off, the system cannot dehumidify incoming air. Press the button to activate the compressor. Keep air intake slots in front of the windshield clear of ice, snow, and leaves to maintain proper function.

• Dust and pollen filter may need replacement at recommended intervals or sooner in polluted conditions
• Air conditioner compressor must be switched on to dehumidify air
• Air intake slots must be free of ice, snow, and leaves

How do I find the fuse boxes in my 2010 Volkswagen Touareg?

There are two fuse boxes in the instrument panel: one on the left side and one on the right side. Remove each fuse box cover by inserting a flat object like a screwdriver into the opening and carefully prying off the cover in the direction of the arrow. Owner’s Manual, p. 664

When should I check weight ratings on my 2010 VW Touareg?

Before loading your vehicle, consult the Safety Compliance Certification Label on the driver door jamb to find the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and Gross Axle Weight Ratings. Never exceed these limits, as doing so can cause skidding and handling problems. Owner’s Manual, p. 148

How do you know if the remote key battery needs replacing?

If the remote control key will not lock or unlock the vehicle, the battery probably needs replacement. The operating range decreases as the battery weakens, and things between the key and vehicle, bad weather, and a weak battery can all reduce the working distance. Owner’s Manual, p. 37

What is the best way to set up climate control zones in my 2010 VW Touareg?

Access the Climatronic controls in the front center console. Adjust temperature separately for the left and right sides by turning the temperature knob. Use the fan speed adjustment button for manual control, with setting 0 turning off the fan and Climatronic entirely. Select air distribution manually through the button. Once you have configured your preferred driver settings, press the button to apply these settings to all climate zones.

1. Turn the temperature knob to set desired temperature for left and right sides separately
2. Adjust manual fan speed using the fan button
3. Select air distribution manually via the distribution button
4. Press the button to apply driver settings to all climate zones

Owner’s Manual, p. 515

What do I need to refill AdBlue in my 2010 VW Touareg?

You need Diesel Exhaust Fluid that meets International Organization for Standardization specification ISO 22241-1. Volkswagen recommends using AdBlue brand DEF specifically. Do not use fluids that do not meet ISO 22241 requirements. Owner’s Manual, p. 537

Can you explain the difference between A2DP and AVRCP on a 2010 VW Touareg?

A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) is a Bluetooth profile that wirelessly transfers stereo audio signals in high quality. AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile) adds the ability to display track information on the instrument cluster and control audio playback through the Infotainment System. A2DP is the minimum requirement for Bluetooth audio; AVRCP is optional for enhanced control and display features. Owner’s Manual, p. 364

How can I tell if a fuse is blown in my 2010 VW Touareg?

A blown fuse can be recognized by the burned metal strip inside it. Shine a flashlight on the fuse to make it easier to see if it’s blown, as the light helps you spot the burned-out metal strip clearly. Owner’s Manual, p. 665

My 2010 Volkswagen Touareg wipers are leaving streaks and not cleaning well, what should I do?

Worn or dirty wiper blades reduce visibility and increase accident risk. Always change wiper blades if they are damaged, worn, or cannot clean the windows sufficiently. Damaged or dirty blades can scratch the windshield. Do not clean windows with gasoline, nail polish remover, paint thinner or similar fluids, as solvents and abrasive sponges damage the graphite coating on the wiper blades. Owner’s Manual, p. 598

What should I check on my Touareg before locking it if the alarm won’t activate?

Before locking, ensure the vehicle battery and remote control key battery are in good condition. A weak or dead battery in either will prevent the alarm from activating properly. Also check that dirt containing salt, especially in winter, has not accumulated on door handles, as this can interfere with door handle sensors. Clean the handles if needed. Owner’s Manual, p. 49
