What are the hidden features of the Tiguan?

The hidden features of the Volkswagen Tiguan are as follows: 1. Key: Long-pressing the lock/unlock button can open or close all four door windows (including the panoramic sunroof); When the vehicle is locked, long-pressing the trunk opening button can open the trunk, and closing the trunk door will automatically lock it without needing to press the lock button again; Pressing the unlock button once only unlocks the driver's side door, while pressing it twice within 1 second unlocks all doors. 2. Steering wheel: In the information display screen in the middle of the instrument panel, vehicle driving time, mileage, etc., can be reset immediately by long-pressing the 'OK' button. 3. Headlight 'home' function: After locking or unlocking the car, the headlights automatically turn on for 10 or 20 seconds, etc., and the duration can be set by the user.
I've been driving my Volkswagen Tiguan for almost three years and discovered some hidden features that are quite practical. For example, the turn signal flash count can be adjusted from the default three flashes to five or more, providing extra warning flashes when changing lanes on highways for improved safety. There's also the door unlock setting – originally, a single press of the key fob only unlocks the driver's door, but I modified it to open all doors with one press, making it more convenient for family members to enter. The auto start-stop function can be annoying sometimes, but it can be set to remember the last disabled state upon startup, eliminating the need to manually turn it off every time. Additionally, the 'follow-me-home' headlight delay time can be extended, say from 30 seconds to 60 seconds, providing better illumination when exiting the vehicle at night to prevent tripping. Most of these features can be enabled through menu settings or the OBD port. I recommend visiting a 4S shop or professional repair shop for these adjustments rather than attempting DIY modifications to avoid system damage.
