Volkswagen Tiguan Owners Manual: Introduction to the subject
In this chapter you will find information on the following subjects:
⇒ Description
of the power locking system
⇒ Unlocking and locking the vehicle from the outside
⇒ Unlocking and locking
the vehicle from the inside
⇒ Unlocking and locking vehicles with Keyless Access
⇒ Anti-theft alarm system
The power locking system works properly only when all doors and the rear hatch
are completely closed. When the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot be
locked with the remote control vehicle key.
Leaving the vehicle unlocked for longer periods of non-use (for example, in your
garage) can cause the vehicle battery to drain so that the engine can no longer
be started.

Warning
Improper use of power locks can result in serious personal injury.
- The power locking button locks all doors. Locking the doors from the inside
can help prevent unintended door opening during a collision and can also prevent
unwanted entry from the outside. Locked doors can, however, delay assistance
to vehicle occupants and rescue from the outside in an accident or other emergency.
- Never leave children or anyone who cannot help themselves behind in the
vehicle. All doors can be locked from the inside with the power lock button.
This could leave people trapped in the vehicle in an emergency. Depending on
the time of year, people trapped in the vehicle can be exposed to very high
or very low temperatures.
- A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depending on the season.
Particularly in the summer, heat buildup in the passenger and luggage compartment
of a parked vehicle can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much
higher than the outside temperatures. Temperatures can quickly reach levels
that can cause unconsciousness and death, particularly to small children.
- Never allow passengers to remain in a locked vehicle. In an emergency any
person still inside the vehicle might not be able to get out.
The power locking system lets you unlock and lock all doors, the rear hatch,
and the fuel filler flap:
