2021–2025 Volkswagen Tiguan FAQ
How do I unlock the vehicle if the key battery is dead?
2025
- Remove the emergency key from the vehicle key.
- Insert it into the door lock cylinder and turn it counterclockwise, or clockwise for a right-hand-drive vehicle.
- Open the mechanically unlocked driver door.
- Switch on the ignition to stop the alarm.
- Press the central locking button in the door to unlock the remaining doors.
When should I recalibrate the tire pressure monitoring system?
2025
Recalibrate after adjusting tire pressures, changing wheels, or rotating wheels, but only after all tires are correctly inflated when cold.
Before checking cold-tire pressure, park the vehicle for one hour away from direct sunlight.

Your iPhone must support Apple CarPlay, have Siri enabled and unrestricted CarPlay enabled; wireless also requires Bluetooth and the vehicle's Wi-Fi hotspot.
If wireless is unavailable, use an original Apple cable with a USB port that supports data transfer.
Page 333 in the 2024 manual →How does the Tiguan determine when an oil change is due?
2024
Fixed oil-change intervals are specified, while flexible intervals are determined individually using operating conditions and driving style.
With a flexible interval, an oil change is needed only when required, and an early warning appears 30 days before the calculated due date.
