I have Learned Something Today

Reading manuals is like driving them, only for the enthusiast these days.

Yeah much easier to ask on a forum for some other guy to tell them how, who has bothered to read the book or wouldnt know.

I think it’s referring to the fact that the same can be done with the handle instead of the key fob! Just tried it myself - truly keyless!

Cars these days are complicated and the manual makes it more complicated by being written to cover everything in every market to and to sort what bits pertain to your market is a migraine inducing exercise and in some cases can't be done because some levels of cars in some markets vary with the equipment fitted. My son works at a dealer (not VW) and they hold education nights for new owners for this specific reason. I defy anyone to read the Tiguan manual and remember every feature and instruction on how to use the features mentioned in the book.

Of course you wont understand ANY of them if you dont at least read some of it. I still refer to mine occasionally after 7 years of owning it

It isnt hard to use the index and read about certain things

Well done champ.

Mea Culpa for starting the thread, don't read it if the subject bothers you.

All good Ozsko, there would be no forum for us to ask questions if everyone read the manual.... and no place for the learned few to share their superior knowledge and intellect.

This is possibly a more interesting and interactive way to read a manual - can't wait for VW to offer similar

Mercedes-Benz Looks To Replace Owner’s Manual With AR App

I have said before when this subject came up that video would be way better than a bloody book badly written and presented in a clumsy format that you needed a magnifying glass to read. I think a modern car is close to the most complicated thing that most people will encounter in their life time.
