Get Driver assistance systems Guide for Volkswagen Tiguan 4 Door 2023

Driver assistance systems

Sensor system information

Introduction

Depending on the vehicle equipment,

the vehicle has driver assistance

systems that increase driving

convenience. These driver assistance

systems use some sensors and cameras

(hereafter referred to as the “sensor

system”) that are only partially visible

to you.

The sensors and cameras visually detect the vehicle's surroundings ultrasonically or by using radar waves.

Installed sensor systems

Depending on the vehicle equipment, the following sensor systems may be installed:

Radar sensor in the front of the vehicle.

Radar sensors in the rear of the vehicle.

Camera behind the windshield.

Ultrasonic sensors in the front of the vehicle.

Ultrasonic sensors in the rear of the vehicle.

You can find information on the relevant installation location in the vehicle overviews ⇒ Vehicle overviews.

WARNING

The driver assistance systems are not a replacement for the driver's attention and work only within their system limitations. The driver assistance systems

cannot detect all driving situations and may not provide warnings or react, or may provide warnings or react with a delay, or may provide warnings or react in a

way that is not desired. If you are careless, there is a risk of accidents, serious injuries and death.

Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for control of the vehicle.

Be aware of the limits of the sensor system and the system limitations of the individual systems.

Always adapt your speed and distance to vehicles driving ahead based on the visual, weather, road, and trafﬁc conditions.

Be prepared to override or interrupt automatic interventions at all times.

Pay attention to indicators in the instrument cluster display and respond to the displays accordingly when the trafﬁc situation allows.

Do not use driver assistance systems if you suspect a problem or damage.

Limits of the sensor system

Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒

Introduction.

Limits of the radar sensor

Driver assistance systems that use radar sensors may not respond, may offer a delayed response or may respond in an unexpected way in the following situations:

When driving in poor weather conditions, such as heavy rain, snow or heavy spray.

When driving through construction zones, tunnels or toll stations.

When driving on winding roads, for example, mountain roads

In front of bumps or dips in the road

When driving off-road

When driving in parking ramps

When driving on roads with embedded metal objects, such as railroad tracks

When driving on gravel roads

In complex driving situations, such as trafﬁc islands.

Following a violent impact affecting components within the range of the radar sensors, e.g. following a rear-end collision.

If the radar sensors are obscured, dirty, misaligned or damaged.

Limits of the camera behind the windshield

Driver assistance systems that use the camera behind the windshield may not respond, may offer a delayed response or may respond in an unexpected way in the

following situations:

187

In front of bumps or dips in the road

When driving in construction zones

When driving off-road

When driving in poor weather conditions, such as heavy rain, snow, fog or heavy spray and poor road conditions.

In low-lying sun, darkness or if there is glare from oncoming vehicles.

If the camera is not available due to long exposure to direct sunlight or high ambient temperatures.

If the camera ﬁeld of view is covered, dirty or damaged.

If the camera is misaligned.

Delayed reaction

If the sensor system is exposed to environmental conditions that limit its function, the driver assistance systems may only be able to detect this with a delay.

Therefore, the display that indicates that functions are impaired may be delayed when you ﬁrst start driving or while driving.

Limits in certain driving situations

Fig. 133 Driving around curves.

The sensor system always measures straight ahead. Therefore, on tight curves, vehicles may be detected by mistake or vehicles driving ahead may not be

detected.

Fig. 134 Narrow vehicle.

Vehicles that are driving close to your vehicle but outside the sensor range, such as motorcycles, cannot be detected.

Fig. 135 Changing lanes.

Vehicles that change to your lane close in front of your vehicle cannot be detected. This also applies to vehicles with attachments exceeding the vehicle dimensions

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Introduction

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

maintains your selected speed. When

the vehicle approaches a vehicle driving

ahead, the ACC adjusts the speed

automatically and maintains your set

distance to the vehicle driving ahead.

Does this vehicle have ACC?

The vehicle has ACC if you can adjust ACC settings in the Assistance systems menu in the Infotainment system.

Speed range

You can set a speed between approx. 30 km/h (approx. 20 mph) and approx. 210 km/h (approx. 130 mph). The maximum speed that you can set may be lower,

depending on the vehicle equipment and country.

Driving with ACC

You can override the ACC system at any time. The regulation function is canceled when you apply the brakes. When you accelerate, the regulation function is

paused while accelerating and then resumed with the speed set.

If a trailer is hitched, ACC is less dynamic.

191

Driver intervention request

If automatic deceleration by the ACC is not sufficient or the system limits are reached, the ACC will prompt you – with a message in the instrument cluster –

to also apply the brakes. The red warning light will also turn on and a warning tone will sound. Take over steering and be ready to brake.

WARNING

ACC is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. ACC cannot detect all driving situations and may not react, or

may react with a delay, or may react in a way that is not desired. If you are careless, there is a risk of accidents, serious injuries and death.

Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for control of the vehicle.

Observe the system limitations ⇒ ACC system limitations.

Always adapt your speed and distance to vehicles driving ahead based on the visual, weather, road, and trafﬁc conditions.

Take over steering immediately if a driver intervention prompt appears in the instrument cluster display or the deceleration by ACC is not sufﬁcient.

Apply the brakes if the vehicle continues to roll unintentionally, e.g. after a driver intervention prompt.

Front Assist

Introduction

Front Assist can recognize impending

forward collisions and warn the driver.

In addition, the system can provide

support when braking and initiate an

automatic braking maneuver.

The Front Assist system can help to avoid accidents but cannot replace the driver's attention.

Front Assist works solely within the system limitations. Warning times vary depending on the Trafﬁc Situation and the driving behavior.

Range of functions

Front Assist includes the following additional functions, depending on the vehicle equipment and the country:

Pedestrian Monitoring.

The functions named are automatically active if Front Assist is switched on.

Recognizable objects

Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist) can recognize the following objects, depending on the vehicle equipment and the country:

Vehicles.

Pedestrians.

Driving with Front Assist

You can cancel automatic braking interventions by moving the steering wheel or pressing the accelerator pedal.

Automatic braking

Front Assist can brake the vehicle to a stop. The vehicle will not be held at a stop after that. Press the brake pedal.

The brake pedal feels more ﬁrm during an automatic braking maneuver.

WARNING

Front Assist is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. Front Assist cannot detect all driving situations and may

not react, may react with a delay, or may react in a way that is not desired. If you are careless, there is a risk of accidents, serious injuries and death.

Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for control of the vehicle.

Observe the system limitations ⇒ Front Assist system limitation s.

Always adapt your speed and distance to vehicles driving ahead based on the visual, weather, road, and trafﬁc conditions.

Consider interrupting automatic Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist) interventions if necessary.

When Front Assist warns you, brake the vehicle immediately or maneuver around the obstacle, depending on the driving situation.

196

If you are unsure which functions are included with your vehicle depending on the vehicle equipment and country, consult suitably qualiﬁed professionals

before starting your journey. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Warning levels and braking support

Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒

Introduction.

Speed ranges

Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist) provides maximum support within these speed ranges:

Response to vehicles: Approx. 3 mph (approx. 5 km/h) to approx. 155 mph (approx. 250 km/h).

Response to bikes: Approx. 3 mph (approx. 5 km/h) to approx. 155 mph (approx. 250 km/h).

Response to pedestrians: Approx. 3 mph (approx. 5 km/h) to approx. 40 mph (approx. 65 km/h).

The support system can involve an advance warning, an immediate warning, automatic braking or braking support. A distance warning may also be displayed.

Inﬂuencing factors

Whether and in which speed range Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist) reacts to the named objects is dependent on the following factors:

Type of object.

Movement direction of the object.

Speed of the object.

Speed of the vehicle.

The work area can therefore be limited if the vehicle approaches an object very quickly and thus has little time to react.

Furthermore, not all warning levels are passed through in all situations. Depending on the speed, there may not be, for example, an advance warning or immediate

warning, but rather an automatic braking maneuver that occurs straight away, so as to best protect the detected object.

Distance warning

Front Assist detects if there is a safety hazard from following the vehicle ahead too closely.

The indicator light turns on. Increase the distance.

Advance warning

Front Assist detects a possible collision and prepares the vehicle for possible emergency braking.

A warning tone sounds and the warning light turns on. Apply the brakes or maneuver to avoid the collision.

Immediate warning

If you do not respond to the advance warning, the brakes may be applied brieﬂy to indicate the increasing risk of a collision. Apply the brakes or maneuver to avoid

the collision.

Automatic braking

Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist) can brake the vehicle automatically in several stages of increasing braking force. Reducing the vehicle speed may

help to reduce the damage resulting from a collision.

Braking support

If the system detects that you are not braking enough before an impending collision, Front Assist can increase the braking force and thus help to reduce the risk of

collision. The braking support is only active as long as you are ﬁrmly pressing the brake pedal.

Front Assist system limitations

Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒

Introduction.

Limits of the sensor system

Front Assist detects driving situations using a radar sensor in the front of the vehicle. The radar sensor has a range of up to approx. 120 m (approx. 400 ft).

Lane Keeping System (Lane Assist)

Introduction

Lane Assist helps the driver to stay in a

lane, within the system limitations. This

function is not suitable for, and not

designed for, autonomously keeping

your vehicle in a lane.

If the system detects that the vehicle is coming too close to a lane marker, Lane Assist warns the driver with corrective steering. The driver can override the

corrective steering at any time.

Speed range

Lane Assist is ready to take control (active system status) when a lane marking is detected within the system limits above approximately 60 km/h (approximately

35 mph).

WARNING

Lane Assist is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. Lane Assist cannot detect all driving situations and may

not react, may react with a delay, or may react in a way that is not desired. If you are careless, there is a risk of accidents, serious injuries and death.

Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for keeping the vehicle within the lane.

Observe the system limitations ⇒ Lane Assist system limitation s.

Always adapt your speed and distance to vehicles driving ahead based on the visual, weather, road, and trafﬁc conditions.

Always keep your hands on the steering wheel so that you are prepared to steer at any time.

Override immediately by steering if the system intervenes when it should not.

Pay attention to indicators in the instrument cluster display and respond to the prompts accordingly when the trafﬁc situation allows.
