How do you Close the Boot from inside the Car ?

[Guest001]

A point I made a long time ago. The ere should an electronic version of it in which the applicable market specification can be filtered using tags or some such method. Cars have become so complex and VW build a kit of parts for each market which does not help at all.

I have my vehicles specific information as to what it has fitted to it 3 pages of it in fact

Aus is too small a market to provide special manuals for the cars

As a fun fact, I’m fairly sure you can’t lower the tailgate remotely in the allspace.

Yes, can confirm this.
Very frustrating, don't understand why they do it
I'm sure you'd be able to change it with some coding?

Safety as I said More likely to have kids in a family sized vehicle. Same as my old Passat had to be standing there to close it.

YEs thats right and doesnt do it in an Allspace, probably because of the likely hood of kids being around in the 7 seater.


The nag screen in the NAV comes up when it starts and says Be a good boy and obey the road rules (sort of)

Doenst in mine any more Just goes straight to the map screen

My car never had that.

Of course it is, the manual should be universal and then searchable by market, that way there only needs to be one document. It isn't rocket science, any 15 year old could design it given the raw data. Tag each item by country it is fitted and used in and make it searchable using tags. Car companies fit the latest and greatest tech and then revert to a format that has been around since Adam played full back for Israel. Someone posted a link some time ago showing Mercedes first attempt at an electronic manual so at least someone is waking up.

I can close mine by holding the boot open button up in the drivers side door.

SWB right?

Yep MY19 Tiguan Highline

Doesn’t work with my Wolfsburg, I wonder if it can be coded? There’s been a few times where this feature would be handy to have.

Did you HOLD it up till the taildoor fully shut. No good just giving it a flick like when you open it

[drivesafe]

On hot days, when our Tig is parked in the sun, we regularly open the driver's door and then lift and release the boot switch, to allow the hatch to open and get rid of the hot air.

Once every one is in and the doors are closed, I simply lift and release the switch again, and the hatch closes.

We do not have to hold the switch up, simply lift it up and release for both opening and closing.

Is there some differences between models?

What year and model Tiguan do you have ?

Probably held it for a good 30seconds but nothing!

How do you Close the Boot from inside the Car ?

I can’t get it to work in my 2017 MY18 Sportline (base Highline spec) either.

I can pull the button up but can’t push it. If the boot is open pulling and holding does nothing.

I may look into VCDS coding to see if there’s anything in some of the adaptation channels.
