VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN 2017 Owner´s Manual

Lubricant in the air conditioning system
The air conditioning system contains up to 210 ml of lubricating oil. The exact specification and
information about the lubricating oil quantity in the air conditioning system are available from the
following website:
https://erwin.volkswagen.de
Radio reception and aerials
In vehicles with a factory-fitted Infotainment system, the aerial for radio reception can be installed at
various locations in the vehicle:
•On the inside of the rear window, together with the rear window heating.
•On the inside of the rear side windows.
•On the inside of the windscreen.
•On the roof of the vehicle.
Aerials on the interior of the windows can be identified by thin wires.
Component protection
Some electronic components and
control units are fitted with component
protection as standard, e.g. the
Infotainment system.
Component protection was developed as a protective mechanism in order to:
•Prevent any factory-fitted parts delivered with a vehicle from functioning fully if they have been
installed into other vehicles (e.g. after theft),
•Prevent full function of components outside of the vehicle,
•Allow for legitimate installation or exchange of parts and control units by a professional in the
case of service.

In order to guarantee safe and hazard-free operation, always have the air conditioning
system serviced by trained specialists.
WARNING
•Never repair the evaporator in the air conditioning system using components taken
from older vehicles or recycling facilities.
•Never repair the evaporator in the air conditioning system with used evaporators taken
from older vehicles or recycling facilities.
NOTICE
Aerials located on the inside of the windows can be damaged by corrosive or acidic
detergents, any other chemicals or if hard objects chafe against the window. Never apply
stickers over the window aerials and never clean the aerials with corrosive or acidic
detergents or any other chemicals.
NOTICE
When retrofitting an Infotainment system, ensure that the vehicle's standard integral aerial
amplifier is compatible or else use an additional aerial adapter. Otherwise the aerial
amplifier could be subjected to overvoltage damage.

Recycling and scrapping end-of-life vehicles
Recycling end-of-life vehicles
Volkswagen has already made provision for you to recycle your vehicle in an environmentally
responsible manner. The recycling system operating in many European countries will take back
your vehicle at the end of its useful life. Once the vehicle has been recycled, a certificate of
destruction will be issued to show that the vehicle has been disposed of correctly.
End-of-life vehicles are recycled free of charge, provided that national legislation is complied with.
Further information on the recycling of end-of-life vehicles can be found at a Volkswagen
dealership.
Scrapping
The relevant safety requirements must be observed when the vehicle or components of the airbag
and the belt tensioners are scrapped. Qualified workshops are familiar with these requirements.
Information about vehicles with N1 approval (light commercial
vehicle)
Please observe the following information for vehicles used to transport goods with a maximum
permitted weight of up to 3.5 t (N1 approval in Europe):
Variants and number of seats
N1 vehicles based on a Volkswagen passenger car models are available in different versions. The
number of seats may be restricted to two or four.
Vehicles with two seats: there is no floor covering in the rear of the vehicle interior because there is
no rear bench seat ⇒.
Vehicles with four seats: the centre seat on the rear bench seat cannot be used⇒.
Safe transport of children
Like in vehicles with passenger car approval (M1), approved child restraint systems can be used on
the seats ⇒ Safe transport of children.
Towing a trailer
If the vehicle is approved for towing a trailer, observe any local regulations for driving with a trailer
and using a towing bracket.

If the vehicle exceeds the permitted gross weight or axle load for the rear axle, a speed of 80 km/h
must not be exceeded when towing a trailer. This also applies to countries where higher speeds are
permitted. Always obey speed limits. In some areas speed limits for vehicles towing trailers are
lower than for vehicles without trailers.
Any permitted excess loads for the vehicle are entered in the vehicle documents. If no permitted
excess load is entered, the permitted driving speed limit is 100 km/h taking into account country-
specific legislation.
Technical data
Refer to the vehicle documents for the technical data.
Technical data
Information on technical data
Unless otherwise indicated or listed separately, the technical data for the basic model apply.
Optional equipment, different vehicle equipment, special vehicles and country-specific vehicle
equipment levels can result in different values. All data in the official vehicle documents take
precedence over these data.
Observe the instructions and information relating to vehicles with N1 approval ⇒ Information about 
vehicles with N1 approval (light commercial vehicle).
Engine
The vehicle data sticker or the vehicle registration documents show which engine is installed in your
vehicle.
Weight
The values for the kerb weight in the following tables apply to the road-ready vehicle with driver
(75 kg), service fluids including fuel tank carrying 90% of its capacity and, if applicable, tool kit and
spare tyre ⇒. Additional equipment and retrofitted accessories increase the kerb weight stated
and reduce the maximum permitted load accordingly.
The load comprises the weights of the following:
•Vehicle occupants
•All luggage
•Roof load including the mounts or roof bars and the load carrier system
•Drawbar load when towing a trailer ⇒ Trailer towing.
Performance figures
For reasons of vehicle registration and vehicle taxation, the power output and performance of some
engines may vary in some countries from the information given in this booklet.
In certain vehicles with heavy duty suspension, the engine could be governed to provide a
maximum speed of 210 km/h.
Danger of injuries and electric shock from exposed cables.
•Have the luggage compartment completed at the latest after delivery so that the cables
in the rear area of the vehicle are covered during use of the vehicle.
WARNING
Danger of serious injury due to incorrect transport of persons.
•Never transport a person or child in the middle of the rear bench seat.
