Electrically Operated Tailgate

The Tiguan is available with an electrically operated tailgate. The drive uses two spindle drives. They are installed in place of the gas struts.

It is opened and closed with:

• A button on the tailgate

• A button in the door trim
• A button on the remote control key

Spindle Drive

Programming

The opening height can be programmed for ease of use and to avoid

Engines and Transmissions

Transmission Type Technical Data

The 09P (AQ450) 8-speed automatic transmission is the only

transmission used in the Tiguan. It is available as both a two- and
four-wheel drive configuration. This transmission is based on the
Aisin 09G transmission, but incorporates a different design and
components, such as:

• Additional planetary gearsets

8-Speed Automatic • Additional hold and drive components
Transmission 09P
• A different valve body
• An Electro-Magnetic Oil Pump (EMOP) solenoid to keep the 1st
gear C1 clutch engaged during Start-Stop operation, ensuring a
smooth transition from a stopped engine to takeoff

Both the FWD and AWD transmissions have the same drive ratios
per gear. Also, this transmission has the same final drive ratio as the
09G/M transmission.

Distance Regulation Control Module J428 – Adaptive Cruise Control Radar Sensor

The Distance Regulation Control Module is a combination of the control module and radar sensor. A new radar sensor for ACC, Front Assist, Pedestrian
Detection and Emergency Assist is being used for the first time. This sensor is now capable of detecting pedestrians by exclusively using radar.

It is clipped directly into the radiator grille. A Volkswagen badge, which is suitable for radar usage thanks to a special coating, is then clipped on top.

The badge has a vapor-deposited indium coating. Indium (In) is a chemical element. This silvery-white, soft, heavy metal is often processed to form
indium tin oxide and used as a transparent conductor.

• Range: approx. 460 feet (140 meters) • Emergency brake assist integrated into the radar sensor
• Frequency range: 76–77 GHz (used bandwidth 55 MHz) • Pedestrian Detection on radar basis only, without front camera
• No heating

Calibration

Static calibration for the radar sensor uses the calibration board VAS 6430/10 and the manufacturer’s instructions.

Static calibration

During static calibration, the front radar calibrates its sensors using a calibration board that is aligned with the driving axis. The calibration process is
activated through the scan tool. Mechanical adjustment with adjuster screws is no longer possible or necessary.

The radar sensor needs to be calibrated when:

• The Distance Regulation Control Module J428 has been replaced

• The radiator support has been replaced, moved into service position,
or has been removed and installed
• The rear axle track has been adjusted

Air Conditioning

The Tiguan uses air conditioning components from the MQB platform. A manual/electric air
conditioning system standard. A Climatronic system is optional.

Climatronic

A Climatronic system with a third climate zone in the rear is available in the Tiguan. The three-zone
Climatronic system allows the driver, front passenger and the rear passengers to independently set
their own preferred temperature between 61 - 85 °F (16 - 29.5°C). Temperature regulation is fully
automatic.

Front Operating and Display Unit

All Climatronic functions can be selected through the front operating and
display unit. Some functions are also available through the Infotainment
display.

Rear Operating and Display Unit

The rear operating and display unit is located in the center console. It
allows temperature adjustment for the rear seats (third climate zone). The
temperature setting is shown on the display.

Pure Air Climatronic (dust and pollen filter)

A polyphenol coating has been added to the dust and pollen filter. This coating
is a natural product that has anti-inflammatory properties and occurs in many

plants. It absorbs allergens and renders them harmless. The yellow coating
makes the filter easy to distinguish from conventional dust and pollen filters.

An Air Quality Sensor G238 is located in the plenum chamber detects and
pollutants in the ambient air. The air conditioning compressor will activate or
switch to recirculation mode depending on:

• The pollution of the ambient air

• The inside and outside temperature
• The interior humidity

R-1234yf Refrigerant

R-1234yf refrigerant will be used in the Tiguan. The mechanical setup of the air conditioning system using R-1234yf is identical to that of the R-134a air
conditioning systems.

Vapor pressure curve

The following graph provides a comparison of the vapor pressure curves for the
refrigerants R-1234yf and R-134a. Both curves are very similar. It was not necessary
to modify any components (compressor, evaporator, condenser, sensors, actuators and
refrigerant lines) because the refrigerants have similar properties.

Only the software in the air conditioning control module differs depending on the
refrigerant used.

Global warming potential

The Global Warming Potential (GWP) is the potential contribution of the substance to
the warming of the atmosphere, i.e. the greenhouse effect. The lower the GWP value,
the lower the potential effect on global warming and the associated environmental
Refrigerant GWP
impact.
CO (R-744)

1
CO2 with a GWP = 1 is used as a reference refrigerant. R-1234yf has a GWP of 4 with a R-1234yf 4
time horizon of 100 years. This means that one kilogram of R-1234yf contributes four
times as much as one kilogram of CO2 to the greenhouse effect within the first 100 R-134a 1,430
years after release into the atmosphere. R-22 1,810

The cause of the very low GWP is due to the life of the R-1234yf refrigerant in the R-12 10,900
atmosphere.

VAS Air Conditioning Service Station

A new air conditioning service station (VAS 581 005) must be used for R-1234yf refrigerant. The connections are mechanically coded to ensure that
the R-134a charging connectors on the air conditioning service stations cannot be connected to the R-1234yf evacuating and charging valves. This will
prevent mix-ups or accidental charging of the R-1234yf system with R-134a and vice versa.

A qualification certificate for work on air conditioning systems is required (identical to the R-134a refrigerant air conditioning system). Please also
comply with health and safety requirements and wear the following when performing work on the air conditioning system:

• Safety goggles
• Safety gloves
• Apron
