VW TIGUAN DYNAMIC LIGHT ASSIST FULL

Every other car I have had (other than VW’s) have headlights on symbols within the instrument cluster for main beam as well as full beamģ) Dynamic Light Assist – is it true that the dynamic function (‘shading out’ oncoming traffic etc) doesn’t work when the car is running in Eco mode? If so, can this be overridden as this seems completely daft? I always drive my BMW in Eco and yet all dynamic light functions operate fully.Ĥ) I have read reports that the 190PS diesel auto has a flat spot when pulling away from rest and then a surge of power and is therefore not very smooth. Has the setup on the new Tiguan improved so that it operates like the BMW system or is it still the rubbish system on the old model?Ģ) Headlights On – Does the new model Tiguan have an indicator light within the instrument cluster to indicate that the headlights are on (main beam, not full beam)? On the old model Tiguan you can only tell if the headlights are on by the illumination of the small symbol adjacent to the light switch, which is very difficult to tell if it’s on or off whilst driving – a design flaw in my view. The engine only restarts when you depress the accelerator, not when you release the foot brake. In BMW’s, even with the auto transmission in ‘drive’, the engine cuts out when the vehicle is stationary and stays off when you take your foot off the pedals.

You have to sit with your foot on the brake to stop the engine running, which rather defeats the object of Auto Hold. If any owners of the new model Tiguan are able to answer any or all of them I would be extremely grateful.ġ) Auto Hold – On the old model Tiguan, Auto Hold doesn’t work well with Stop / Start.

However, there are a few things that I have been unable to establish from the manual and a question based on road tests of the 190PS variant that I have read. You have to turn the headlights to the manually ‘on’ position to activate them and then remember to put the switch back to auto when you turn them off. The old model Tiguan has what I feel is a design flaw in that you cannot do this. One thing that I am pleased to see has changed is that you can now put the front or rear fog lights on when the master light switch is set to ‘Auto’. I bought a copy of the owners manual on eBay and have been ploughing through it to make sure that I understand the car before I drive it. It is replacing a 2015 Tiguan Match 140PS TDi 4Motion DSG. We are (hopefully) picking it up on Sat 23rd. The long wait for our Tiguan SEL 190PS TDi 4Motion DSG is almost over.
