VW press car. I'll be doing a review for Tartan Tarmac and maybe here if I get time.

Favourite gadget? It has to be the digital dash!

Probably one of the best SUV family wagons I've had Volkswagen Tiguan SEL 4MOTION Review and Test Drive - Tartan Tarmac (https://www.tartantarmac.com/volkswagen-tiguan-sel/) Still slightly prefer the Discovery Sport but there's not a huge amount in it.

Hi guys, I now have a build week 38 confirmed on the tracker.
I managed to get hold of an owners manual and there are 2 bits of real interest to me that I wondered if any owners had tested:

Switching on the auxiliary heater (this seems to indicate the car can be heated remotely)

The auxiliary heater can be switched on in the following ways:

Manually with the immediate heat button on the control panel → Heating and air conditioning system  .

Manually with the remote control → Remote control   .

Automatically with a programmed and activated departure time → Programming the auxiliary heater   .

The auxiliary heater cannot be switched on if the charge level of the vehicle battery is too low or if the fuel tank is empty.



Remote control

Fig. 125 Auxiliary heater: remote control.





Traffic Jam Assist function (this is a separate setting than ACC and is found in the Lane Assist menu apparently)

At speeds under 60 km/h (35 mph) Traffic Jam Assist can maintain a time interval, set by the driver, to a vehicle in front, and help the vehicle to stay in lane → .

The system automatically controls acceleration, braking, steering and, if required, will decelerate to a stop behind a vehicle that is stopping, and then drive away again automatically.

Switching Traffic Jam Assist on and off

When the lane keeping system is active, Traffic Jam Assist is switched on and off via adaptive lane guidance → Lane keeping system (Lane Assist)   by pressing the button and the and Driver assistance function buttons on the infotainment system → Operation and display in the infotainment system  .

Hoping these 2 features are included!
