Warning lights
Outside the Polo, the Volkswagen Tiguan remains one of the German brand’s most popular models. In comparison to old models, new Tiguans are packed with features and tech and as with most manufacturers, these features have an associated warning light that will let you know if something is wrong.
Over the years automotive manufacturers have standardised these warning lights, and in rare cases, some vehicles will have an unknown light. The Tiguan, however, doesn’t have any non-standard warning lights, so we have looked at the latest Tiguan and decoded the most common lights you may encounter.
