Volkswagen Tiguan (2015 year). Instruction — part 18
Rear View Camera system with dynamic orientation lines
Introduction
In this section you’ll find information about:
Operation
Perpendicular parking (Mode 1)
Parallel parking (Mode 2)
A camera in the rear hatch assists the driver while parking in reverse or maneuvering. The camera
image is shown together with orientation lines projected by the system on the screen of the factory-
installed navigation system.
Rear View Camera system may take a few seconds to bring up the camera image.
2 different orientation lines (modes) can be selected:
Mode 1: Backing into a parking space at right angles to the direction of traffic, such as in a parking
lot.
Mode 2: Parallel parking (parking parallel to the direction of traffic).
You can select the mode by tapping the function key on the radio or navigation system screen. Only
the mode selected is displayed.

WARNING
Rear View Camera system is not able to give you a clear and undistorted view of all areas
behind the vehicle.
The camera has blind spots in which it cannot see people and objects.
Always be careful and look around you when parking. The camera cannot show people,
animals, and objects in certain situations. Watch out for small children and animals in
particular.
Due to the screen resolution, the camera may not pick up thin posts, chain-link fences and
similar fences, and other objects, or it may show them unclear.
The camera lens enlarges and distorts the field of vision and causes objects on the screen
to appear altered and imprecise.
Always keep the camera lens clean and free of snow and ice; do not cover the lens.
WARNING
Rear View Camera system technology cannot overcome the laws of physics and the limits of
the system. Careless or unintentional use of Rear View Camera system may result in
accidents and severe injuries.
Always adjust your speed and driving style to road, traffic, weather, and visibility
conditions.
Always keep an eye on the parking direction and the vehicle surroundings. The front of
the vehicle swings out more than the rear of the vehicle.
Never pay so much attention to the graphics shown on the screen that you fail to notice
what is going on around you.
Always watch for people, especially small children, animals and objects, because the
camera may not always be able to detect them.
The system may not be able to clearly show everything behind the vehicle.
Use the Rear View Camera system only when the rear hatch is completely closed.
NOTICE
The camera shows only two-dimensional images on the screen. Due to the lack of depth of
field, it may be difficult or impossible to identify protruding objects or recesses in the road, for
example.
Things like thin rods, fences, posts and trees may not be detected by the camera and could
damage the vehicle.

Special considerations
1) Do not use Rear View Camera system in the following situations:
– When an incorrect or unclear image is displayed, such as when there is poor visibility or a lens is
dirty.
– If the area behind the vehicle cannot be seen clearly or completely.
– If the rear of the vehicle is heavily loaded.
– If the rear hatch is open.
– If the driver is not familiar with the system.
– If the position or angle of the camera was changed, such as after a rear-end collision, have the
system checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
2.) Examples of optical deception by the camera:
The Rear View Camera system provides only two-dimensional images. Recesses and protruding
objects on the ground or protruding parts on other vehicles are difficult or impossible to identify due
to the lack of depth of field.
Objects or another vehicle may seem closer or farther away on the screen than they really are.
– When driving from a level surface onto an upward or downward slope.
– When driving up or down a slope onto a level surface.
– If the rear of the vehicle is heavily loaded.
– When approaching protruding objects. These objects can disappear from the field of view when
backing up.
Cleaning the camera lens
Keep camera lens clean and free from snow and ice.
Engage the parking brake.
Switch on the ignition.
Select the Reverse (R) gear.
Wet the camera lens with a commercially available alcohol-based glass cleaner and clean with a
dry cloth

NOTICE
Never use abrasive cleaning agents to clean the camera lens.
Never remove snow or ice on the camera lens with warm or hot water. This can damage the
camera lens.
Volkswagen recommends practicing parking with the Rear View Camera system in a safe place
with little or no traffic or in a parking lot under good visibility and weather conditions in order to
familiarize yourself with the system, the orientation lines and the way they work.
Rear View Camera system cannot be activated when the factory-installed trailer hitch is
electrically connected to the trailer or the rear hatch is open.

Heating and air conditioning
Introduction
In this section you’ll find information about:
Manual controls
Climatronic controls
Operation
Air vents
Air recirculation
Manual air conditioning and Climatronic
Your vehicle is equipped either with a Manual air conditioning or with a Climatronic climate
control system. On vehicles with Climatronic climate control, system status messages will appear
briefly in the Climatronic display and/or on the factory-installed Radio system or Radio & Navigation
system.
The temperature units (Fahrenheit or Celsius) in the factory installed radio or navigation system
screen can be changed in the Settings menu in the Premium instrument cluster display in
appropriately equipped vehicles.
The dust and pollen filter
The dust and pollen filter with an activated carbon insert reduces the entry of pollutants into the
passenger compartment.
The dust and pollen filter must be replaced at the intervals recommended in
⇒ Booklet
Warranty and
Maintenance so that the air conditioner can work properly.
If the effectiveness of the filter decreases prematurely due to operating the vehicle where the outside
air is heavily polluted, the dust and pollen filter should be replaced more frequently than indicated.

WARNING
Poor visibility increases the risk of collisions and other accidents that cause serious
personal injuries.
Always make sure all windows are clear of ice, snow and condensation for good visibility
to the front, sides, and rear.
Maximum heating output and defrosting performance are not possible until the engine has
reached operating temperature. Wait until you have good visibility before driving off.
Always make sure you know how to properly use the heating and ventilation systems as
well as the rear window defroster that you will need for good visibility.
Never use air recirculation for long periods of time. When the air conditioner is off and
recirculation mode is on, condensation can quickly form on the windows and greatly reduce
visibility.
Always switch off recirculation mode when it is not needed.
WARNING
Stale air causes driver fatigue and reduces driver alertness, which can cause accidents,
collisions and serious personal injury.
Never switch off the fan for a long period of time and never use air recirculation a long
period of time because no fresh air will enter the passenger compartment.
NOTICE
If you think the air conditioner is not working properly or may be damaged, switch it off to
help prevent more damage. Have the air conditioner checked by an authorized Volkswagen
dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Air conditioner repair requires specialized knowledge and special tools. Volkswagen
recommends that you see an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen
Service Facility.
Do not smoke when air recirculation is switched on. Smoke drawn into the ventilation
system can leave residue on the evaporator and on the dust and pollen active carbon filter,
resulting in permanent odors whenever the air conditioner is switched on.
If the air conditioner is switched off, the fresh outside air will not be dehumidified. To help keep
the windows from fogging over, Volkswagen recommends leaving the air conditioner (compressor)
switched on. Press the AC button. The indicator light in the button must come on.
When it is very hot and humid outside, water condensation can drip from the air conditioner
evaporator and form a puddle under the vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate a leak.
Keep the air intake slots in front of the windshield free of ice, snow and leaves in order to
maintain proper functioning of the heating and ventilation systems.
Maximum heating output and defrosting performance are not possible until the engine has
reached operating temperature.
Emergency starting and starting the engine with a very weak vehicle battery or after the vehicle
battery has been replaced may change or delete system settings (including time, date, personal
convenience settings and programming). Check the settings and correct as necessary once the
vehicle battery has built up a sufficient charge.

Operation
Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS
The air conditioner works only when the ignition is switched on. The cooling system for the passenger
compartment works only when the engine is running and the fan is on.
The air conditioner is most efficient when the windows and the power sunroof are closed. If the vehicle
is not moving and the passenger compartment becomes very hot due to sunlight, briefly opening the
windows and the power sunroof may speed up the cooling process.
Keep the air intake slots in front of the windshield free of ice, snow and leaves so that the heating and
ventilation systems can work properly.
Settings for optimum visibility
When you switch on the cooling system, both the temperature and humidity in the vehicle are reduced.
This will help make passengers feel more comfortable and help keep the windows from fogging up.

Heating
Maximum heating output and defrosting performance are not possible until the engine has reached
operating temperature.
Air conditioner does not work
The air conditioner may not switch on for one of the following reasons:
The engine is not running.
The fan is switched off.
The air conditioner fuse has blown.
The outside air temperature is colder than about +38 °F (+3 °C).
The air conditioner compressor has been temporarily switched off due to excessive engine coolant
temperature.
There is another malfunction in the vehicle. Have the air conditioner checked by an authorized
Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Special considerations
When it is very hot and humid outside, water condensation can drip from the air conditioner
evaporator and form a puddle under the vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate a leak.
The climate control system adjusts the passenger compartment temperature as fast as possible
considering the outside temperature.
Due to residual moisture in the air conditioner, the windshield may fog up after the engine is
started. Switch on the windshield defroster to help evaporate the condensation as quickly as possible.
The air coming out of the vents flows through the passenger compartment and out through vents
below the rear window. Do not cover these slots with clothing or other things.
