2017 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN buttons

•Perpendicular parking (mode 1): reverse parking perpendicular to the road.
•Parallel parking (mode 2): reverse parking parallel to the road.
•Trailer support (mode 3): support when hitching a trailer to the vehicle.
•Crossing traffic (mode 4): observing crossing traffic.
System limits
The rear view camera system shows only two-dimensional images on the screen. The lack of depth
of field means that potholes and protruding objects on the ground may only be detected with
difficulty, or may not be detected at all.
The rear view camera system may not always be able to detect objects such as thin rails, fences,
posts, trees etc. This could result in damage to your vehicle.
The system displays the orientation lines irrespective of the area surrounding the vehicle. There is
no automatic obstacle detection. Drivers must judge for themselves whether the vehicle will fit into
the parking space.

The rear view camera system hides all orientation lines and guiding functions when the factory-
fitted towing bracket is electrically connected to the trailer ⇒ Trailer towing.
Settings
You can make settings by means of the function buttons when the rear view camera system is
switched on. Some setting options depend on the vehicle equipment.

Using images from the camera to estimate the distance from obstacles (people, vehicles
etc.) is inaccurate and could cause accidents and severe injuries.
•Camera lenses enlarge and distort the field of vision and make objects appear different
and inaccurate on the screen.

Troubleshooting
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
No camera visibility, error message, system switches itself off
•Clean the camera or remove the stickers or camera accessories ⇒ Caring for and cleaning the 
vehicle exterior.
•Check whether any damage is visible.
The system is not responding as expected
•The cameras are dirty ⇒ Caring for and cleaning the vehicle exterior. The camera visibility may
be impaired by dirt and snow or also residue from cleaning agents or coatings.
•The system requirements must be met ⇒ Prerequisites.
•The cameras are covered by water.
•The vehicle is damaged in the area around the camera, e.g. caused by parking collisions.
•The detection range of the cameras is blocked by add-on parts, e.g. bicycle carriers.
•Changes have been made to the paintwork around the camera or the construction has been
modified, e.g. vehicle front end or the running gear.
Response to all circumstances
•Switch off the system temporarily.
•Check whether any of the causes described below apply.
•You can switch the system back on again once you have rectified the cause of the problem.

•Push the retaining lugs ⇒ Fig. 208① upwards in the direction of the arrow whilst opening the
stowage compartment until the fuse carrier can be accessed.
•To install, press the stowage compartment into the mounts on the dash panel until it audibly
clicks into place on both sides and then close the compartment.
Right-hand drive: opening the fuse box in the dash panel
•Open the stowage compartment on the front passenger side and remove the contents if
necessary ⇒ Fig. 209.
•Slide the braking element ⇒ Fig. 209① downwards into the opening in the holder and pull it
out sideways.
•Push catches ⇒ Fig. 209② upwards in the direction of the arrow whilst opening the stowage
compartment further.
•To install: bring storage compartment into position. Insert the brake element in the holder
opening and push upwards until it audibly engages. Carefully push the stowage compartment
forwards beyond the resistance of the catches ⇒ Fig. 209②.

NOTICE

Maximum load and speed range for tyres
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Vehicles in the EU and the so-called EU user states are issued an EC Certificate of Conformity.
This details the size, diameter and speed range of all tyres approved by Volkswagen for the
relevant vehicle type.
The type plate shows whether there is an EC certificate of conformity for this particular vehicle. The
type plate can be seen on the lower part of the door pillar when the door is open ⇒ Technical data.
•If the type plate has a row marked Permit then the vehicle does have an EC certificate of
conformity.
•If there is no type plate, or no row marked Permit the vehicle does not have an EC certificate of
conformity.
Winter tyres
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Winter or all-year tyres improve the handling and brake response in winter conditions. Volkswagen
recommends that winter tyres be fitted to the vehicle at temperatures below +7°C (+45°F) or in
winter road conditions.
Winter tyres and all-year tyres lose a large degree of their effectiveness for winter conditions when
the tread is worn down to a depth of 4 mm.
The following applies when using winter tyres:
•Observe any country-specific legal requirements.
•Use winter tyres on all four wheels at the same time.
•Only use in winter road conditions.
•Only use the sizes of tyre that have been approved for the vehicle.
•Winter tyres must have the same belt type, size and the same tread pattern.
•Observe the maximum speed permitted by the speed index ⇒.
Speed limitation
Winter tyres have a speed limit depending on the speed index ⇒ Tyre lettering and tyre type.
Speed warning settings can be made and adjusted in the Infotainment system using the
button and the and Tyres function buttons ⇒ Operation and display in the 
Infotainment system.
If you use V-rated tyres, the speed limits and required tyre pressure will be determined by the
engine size. You must ask a Volkswagen dealership about the maximum permitted speed and
required tyre pressure.
Four-wheel drive (4MOTION)
Thanks to its four-wheel drive, the vehicle will have plenty of traction in winter conditions, even with
the standard tyres. Nevertheless, Volkswagen still recommends that winter tyres or all-year tyres
should be fitted on all 4 wheels in winter, mainly because this will give a better braking response.
Observe information on snow chains⇒ Snow chains.
Summer tyres should be fitted in good time at the end of the winter. The vehicle handling is
better if summer tyres are fitted at temperatures above +7°C (+45°F). They are quieter, do not wear
so quickly and reduce fuel consumption.
In vehicles with a Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator, the system has to re-synchronise after
wheels are changed ⇒ Tyre monitoring systems.
Volkswagen dealerships can provide details on permissible winter tyre sizes.
The improved winter driving characteristics afforded by the winter tyres should not
encourage you to take any risks.
•Adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
•Never exceed the top speed and load permitted for the winter tyres that are fitted.
