Yes, but it requires enabling a hidden feature to activate. Below is relevant information about the Volkswagen Tiguan L: 1. Body dimensions: The Tiguan L measures 4172 mm in length, 1839 mm in width, 1673 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2791 mm. 2. Powertrain: The Tiguan L is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine featuring mixed injection technology, delivering a maximum of 220 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque, with peak torque available between 1500-4400 rpm. 3. Transmission: The Tiguan L is paired with Volkswagen's in-house produced 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
I drive the Tiguan L myself and find the horn confirmation feature upon locking quite practical. Generally speaking, the Tiguan L allows you to activate this feature through the vehicle's infotainment system settings. I've personally done it via the central control screen interface: first enter the vehicle settings menu, locate the door lock-related options, then simply check the horn confirmation box. It's particularly convenient when locating your car in parking lots - just press the remote lock button and you'll hear the beep to confirm successful locking. However, note that if your vehicle system isn't updated or the setting isn't enabled, it might not work. Beginners can refer to the user manual first. I appreciate its multiple benefits like anti-theft protection and power saving, especially providing peace of mind when visibility is poor at night. In summary, I've been using this feature for over a year without any major issues.
As someone who often helps friends with car repairs, I've handled quite a few Tiguan L cases. They usually come with a horn honk feature when locking, but it requires manual activation. The specific steps are: After parking and turning off the engine, press the unlock button on the key fob twice to enter setup mode, then select the central locking option in the infotainment system to enable the honk setting. If there's no sound, it could be due to a blown fuse, faulty horn, or system software bug - best to visit a 4S shop for diagnostic tool checks. This feature mainly prevents misoperations and enhances security, like ensuring proper locking to prevent theft. I've encountered situations in my neighborhood where people forgot to enable this setting, causing trouble. So I recommend regular maintenance of vehicle electronic systems - don't underestimate its importance.
