Tiguan MY18 Updates / Spec Changes

[TheTig]

From my understanding you always have to push a button on your steering wheel or touch the gass, even with TJA. ( if the stop is longer then 3-5 secs I believe)
If your car actually slows down automatically to a complete stop, this means you have TJA, otherwise an alarm will beep at around 65km/h and you have to manually break to stop the car completely. And to enable ACC again you have to drive at least the 65km/h again. Untill 65 you have to manually press the gass pedal.

My car definitely doesn't have TJA as I only enabled adaptive lane guidance last week via ODB11 (this is a requirement of TJA) and it was already coming to a complete stop behind another car slowing down at the lights before enabling ALG, if the car in front moves off within 3 seconds it would follow. If it's longer than 3 seconds I need to press the button to resume ACC. In all my reading TJA removes this and it'll resume itself automatically removing the 3 second limit.

Ok, then it would be even better to enable it.
I Thought my new Tiguan couldn't even stop automatically without TJA so that's already a plus for me .
If the dealer keeps his word, my MY18 should arrive next week and I can let you know if it has TJA or not.( I did not select the option on the list)

I took my car 3 weeks before, It works exactly as "Tig" said. It stops and moves within 3 seconds but I need to press the pedal if more than 3 seconds but the ACC enabled (no need to drive 65km/h again) and maintain the traffic. The same with or without Auto start-stop function.

Also, Twice I noticed that the Car is not slow down when a lane merging with other cars. I tried both left or right lanes but it keeps moving when ACC enabled. I have to manually slow down to adjust the merging lane before ACC adjust the traffic

Saw that a little while ago, fairly certain it's for US market Tigs only

No sweat at all, still learning stuff myself and I've had mine almost 4 weeks now. Quick question are you in South Africa or South Australia?

South Australia .. on another note ... the manual is a tough read

Also the manual mentions a 176kw 500nm 2 litre diesel - even the 140kw seems like a beast - I wonder what VW have in store?

Just picked up my MY18 Highline. Pleasantly surprised to see two USB ports in front of the shifter and one in the rear of the centre console under the rear passenger AC controls.
