Feature 4 - closing all four windows DOES work, you just need to pull BOTH driver and passanger buttons up simultaneously😉 2018 VW Touran Czech Republic
You can also do it from the remote - with some windows open when locking the car, keep the lock button pressed on the remote until the windows have fully closed.
Or generally if you're are in your car you have keys with you, you can press longer the lock button, and all open windows will close from themselves... It worked on a 2003 touran when I had this car a few years ago ;) You can also click on the unlock button to open them all
You can adjust the trunk door height to your favor by lifting the door to the height you like and press the trunk door button and wait till you hear beep tone and light ring/flashing twice and it’s reset.
I love how if you have your cruise control on and your vehicle approaches one in front of you it will slow down on its own and once you get out away or switch lanes it goes back to the set speed you had ♥️
The rearview camera cleaner blew my mind. I'm about to go check and see if my 2018 Tiguan has this feature too! The amount of times I've had to get out and clean my camera off due to salt and dirt being on it.
We have all these great features in our vehicles, but most of us either didn't get the tutorial when we bought, or can't recall the details/find the hidden menu- etc. Thanks for posting!
Great video. Not gonna lie, I’ve considered switching from my Audi S3 to a SEL Premium R line a few times. Gets you practicality and really sharp looks. Interiors are really nice looking too.
Neat features. In case it's not obvious for some people, the auto parking brake while opening the door with the car in drive is meant as a safety feature only. It would never be a good idea to purposely leave the car in drive and rely on the parking brake actuating all the time when you open the door. I can only assume that the car remains in drive from a mechanical standpoint. So someone sitting in there and hitting the gas pedal by accident could be dangerous. I've had my eye on the Tiguan and Alltrack. The clean styling and these nice features appeal to me. Power might be my only concern about the Tiguan, although it has much more space than the Alltrack.
I’m in love with this car❤️❤️❤️ I went to a VW dealership and I mentioned the rear camera spray on the Tiguan and he had no idea he had to go and check! LOL. I was wondering what do you get on a basic trim do you get folding mirror/ blind spot/ rear camera sprayer and sunroof?
No name No you only get the folding mirrors on the SEL I believe and rear camera spray should be standard. Sunroof I THINK... started at the SE trim in 18
Excellent tips! 👏 I don’t actually own a Tiguan but I’m looking for a family sized, 4WD optioned SUV, with decent Tech and safety features. I’ve shortlisted the Skoda Karoq and have just started looking at the Tiguan. Your list of clever features emphasises how well thought out this car is, as is its cheaper SKODA stablemate. While the Karoq is a decent looking car and costs less, I prefer the looks of the Tiguan. Guess I’m going to have to take a closer look at both of them and test drive them both. Thanks again and keep up the great work with your excellent videos! 👍🙋🏻♂️
Vikram Kalra Nothing so far! 🤷🏻♂️ Our family workhorse - a Citroen Berlingo - is still going strong, having done about 125,000 miles, and my wife has made it clear that when we replace it, she doesn’t want anything fancy or high tech - just another utilitarian workhorse with a boxy load space that can carry everything we’d ever want to transport in it. She owned a horrible (in my view, anyway...) Renault Kangoo before that, which she absolutely loved, and if they still made them, she’d have been more than happy to buy another one... ☹️ I’ve tried to educate her about cars, but she seldom takes advice. When she bought the Berlingo, for example, she sat in it in the dealer showroom, and then decided to buy it straight away, without even test driving it! 🤦🏻♂️ It’s actually proved to be a great family car - spacious inside, with a huge load space, and it’s enjoyable to drive, economical, surprisingly nippy, and has served us extremely well for some years now, but she didn’t know any of that when she decided to buy it. We just got lucky on that occasion... I’ll have to start looking again soon, now that the mileage on it is high enough that maintenance is bound to become expensive soon. Good luck with your own purchasing decision. 🖖😎
@@the5thmusketeer215 I sure am very confused whether to go with a Tiguan despite all the issues people talk about it as per Consumer Reviews. I had almost closed on a demo 2019 Highline variant, but after driving I realized the car was very well abused in its 10k km life so far. So back to square one. With so many choices around, it's a difficult decision to make....
I have a 2019 Tiguan and LOVE it! I cannot get the windows to close from the outside! I did exactly what you said and no luck! I love being able to walk up to the locked car and putting my hand on the handle and just my door unlocks!
To open the windows using the key: ensure that the function is active on the vehicle. Secondly, press and hold down the unlock button on your key, after a few seconds, the window(s) will open automatically. To close, press and hold the lock button on your key and after a few seconds, the window(s) will close.
As a VW Salesperson I have run into problems with number 4 quite a lot. Turns out that feature is standard programming on European models and has to be integrated into American models system with the help of a VW technician. Hope this helps!
it's amazing how the German car manufacturers can come up with all these innovative little gadgets that the cars do...but they can't make their cars go a 100k miles trouble-free? I would give up all these little knick-knack gadgets for reliability any day 👍 (previous VW GTI owner here).
@@justindtackett Weather sealing issues? Like what? I know there are issues with the sunroofs or panoramic roofs, but haven't heard much else. These cars now a days are pretty reliable, its just the canbus systems and all the control modules go crazy after many years. That is for most makes now, not just VW. On my MK6 GTI in the 5 1/2 yrs I had that before I bought my MK7 only issue I had was a seeping water pump gasket. That was replaced under warranty. Only issue I had. The MK7 has been fine, I did have a blender door solenoid begin to click on me, replaced under warranty. Chalk that one up to crappy roads and 40 series tires the 2 just don't go hand and hand. haha
How do you save the driving mode and driver assist settings? They appear to return to default when the car is switched off. Having to re-input on every journey is annoying.
Front wipers must be on to get the rear wiper to activate automatically in reverse (unless you have rain sensing wipers). Didn’t mention that but it should be common sense.
Good point, if the day is sunny, the rear wipers should not spray and wipe. Only in rainy day when using front wipers than put reverse will automatically wipe rear windows.
Thats good, I was thinking about that. The last thing you want to do on a clear day with a freshly washed car is have wiper fluid sprayed all over the back each time you reverse.
hey there guys my 2018 R - line put the window back up as well as closes the sunroof again when you hold the drivers window switch in the closing position
The rear wiper only goes automatically when you put the vehicle in reverse if the wiper stalk is set in intermediate mode. And the seats move into your position if you program them to each driver.
I have 2019 Tiguan Allspace and no.4 I can do by holding "unlock" on key fob (you have to press it and keep holding) - opens all windows and opens roof a bit. And "lock" to close all windows (does not work on the roof).
@@pacoboss6865 I think that the feature is deactivated by default. It was deactivated on my 2017 Tiguan. I had VW dealer enable it while my car was in for ordinary service.
I have been a VW guy since was 13 and I am 45 now and they are getting worse every year . My best year is my mk4 337 GTI . But all this fancy crap they need to stop and start addressing and correcting known failures
To open and close windows and sunroof using the keyfobs, you will need to change the coding using the VAGCOM software, just one little tweak. That's the same for many VW models, dating back probably 10+ years.
For number three, memory seat positions, if the driver door is open, you might not need to hold the memory button down. Just presss and release. Once the door is closed and or ignition is on, you have to hold it down. 2021 atlas.
Not sure of anyone covered this but if you push the memory seat preset first while you are getting in an don’t Put the key in ignition they should go to the preset with one push not having to hold the memory button ?? Maybe my old tiguan does an my old Audi both
I used to press long press on the fob close button .will close all windows and sunroof .and same if u hit open long press..will open all things up.i used to do so with old passat 2008 .not sure about Tiguans.
You might try see if you can’t do that remotely with a fob. So you’d press the unlock once then press and hold. You might even be able to close with do the same thing on the lock button.
If you set your favourite radio station on the centre screen, can you change these channels with the controls on the steering wheel ? Great videos most informative 😊😊
If you not in the car and you forget one window open just push lock button in remote key and hold it for 3-4 seconds so all windows will closed with panorama also .. same you push and hold unlock button for 3-4 seconds all window will go down ( good in summer and hot time to let air go out ) .
Wait, a dealer reprogrammed this for you? That's amazing. It can be done with adaptations using a Ross-Tech vagcom cable or one of the other systems, which is how I did mine.
Hold unlock all on key fob all windows will open then to close hold the close button on your fob. Good luck mine is late 2020 so not sure if that’s different.
These features are all cool, no doubt about it...I love how modern cars allow you to actually change many of the things your mind is saying "I wish it would do this" or "wish there was some way to change that", but I fear for reliability nightmares 5, 8, 10 years down the road, especially on cars that must be parked outside and subjected to many hot/cold/rain/ice cycles over the course of its normal life. None of this is really a concern for people who switch cars every 3-4 years, but those of us who like to get a better part of a decade out of our purchase would be better served with another brand that isnt VW. This is coming from an owner of a 2016 GTI so its not an anti-VW bias, just good sense. (My car is garaged nightly, but also up for sale currently)
Rolling the windows up or down will not work just by pressing that option on the info screen. You have to activate it through obdeleven and then you can use your key fob to open and close all windows
Someone may have put it in the comments but another feature for the 2019 Tiguan SEL Premium R Line is the reverse mirror feature. It's not normally turned on in your menu but once it's turned on, when you go in reverse, your mirror will tilt down so you can see the curve while backing up, then once you put it in drive, it goes back up to the drive setting. Pretty cool.
Mine doesn't have the rheostat for instrument light intensity. I have to go through the "CAR" button on the entertainment set. It's a three-step process and can't be done if the car is moving. What a bother! And I wish I had the seat programming feature, but I don't. I never knew about it until now or I would have bought the car with it. Our old '99 Chrysler had it and it was really a convenience with two drivers trading off on trips.
Dont't know if this is simplier or more complicated? Normally cars were simple to drive - but nowadays it is more and more things to keep in mind. You have to learn new things all the time. All this automatic things ? For instance it happens I want to move the car by hand, pushing it. Or when I change from summer to winter tyres, I want to check the ball bearings by rotating the wheels. I don't want to have the parking breaks automaticly. And all these machines that do all thiis - they can malfunction. And thiis with personalization of drivers - can it automatic also change language in information? These menues - they think they make it easier - but is it really? So much to learn for each car..
there's nothing new about any of these - my 2005 Golf TDI Comfortline, and my 2009 Tiguan have all of these as standard (in Australia), except for the reverse camera spray as neither had/have a VW reverse camera. All windows should go up when holding down the lock button too. .. *and here's one you may not know about* - If you've parked your car on a stinking hot day, and left it for a few hours, with all the windows up, when you return, you may see the driver's window cracked open about 1" - that's right, the car winds it down just enough to equalise the inside/outside air temps. Again, my 2005 Golf & 2009 Tiguan do this. I've read that should the car detect rain via its rain sensor, it will close it, though I haven't tried this out.
Hi there, I have just bought the 20 plate Tiguan in the UK. I was wondering if it was possible to turn off the huge compass/direction on steering wheel the dash, not the display board in the middle. If you know if his is possible please enlighten me. Many Thanks Dave in Devon. UK.
You can, the electronic version of the manual will guide you through that quite nicely, BTW, I'm in Plymouth, Devon! Also, try taking a look at this, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k7w1evO30VU.htmlsi=BoHkMwjNAJn4lrC5
Convenience windows via KeyFob are enabled through VAG Comm Windows Up via Rain Sensor enabled via VAG Comm Windows up ignition off Driver Passenger switch pulled up Themes and Colour changing, enabled via VAG Comm
Not really an exclusive Tigger trick, however very handy to know. Couldn't start mine the other day, realised that the key fob battery had expired :-( The battery (CR2025) is inexpensive, dead easy and super quick to replace yourself (lots of RU-vid videos for that). Local dealer in Sydney would charge $$ to do that, but hey who wants to make VW richer.... no one haha.
What snow chains do you recommend for this car ? I was told the Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains for SUVs and Crossover Vehicles - XG12 Pro are the best
The auto brake is amazing. The garage door was sticking and I came out car to go check and my Mazda rammed into the door. Having this feature would of saved me. I have see this happen to other people a few times at our shop. It's the same as shutting off the car in drive and wondering why the key won't come out.
When I put my car in reverse and see the back up camera and then I accidentally hit radio (still in reverse) the radio displays how do I get the back up camera screen back without putting it in a different gear and then back to reverse ?
Excellent tutorial, thanks a million! Does this apply to each Tiguan trim? Also what about "Remote Engine Start with Climate Control, accessible via your smartphone" like Subaru Forester has.
The feature number 4 for opening with the key fob is blocked in the US due to safety concerns that someone could jump inside your car and steal something when you lowered those windows from a far distance, that is why you need to open the driver seat door for lowering the 4 windows with the driver seat controls, nevertheless it has the function incorporated on the computer, so if you know what you are doing you could override that block, but if you do that you will void the guarantee.
My wife has the reverse windshield wiper option in her 2019 tiguan se 4 motion but it does not work when put into reverse. The option is selected in the settings. Is there another option to get it to work?
