Volkswagen Tiguan Owners Manual: Power window pinch protection

Read and follow the introductory information and safety information first⇒Introduction to the subject 

Pinch protection can help reduce the risk of pinching injuries when closing a power window ⇒ . If one-touch window closing meets resistance or there is something in the way, the window will stop and go down again.

• Check why the window did not close.

• Try one-touch window closing again.

• If the window meets resistance a second time, so that it stops and goes back down, one-touch closing is deactivated for about 10 seconds.

• If you pull the power window button up all the way and hold it during this 10 second interval, the window will close without pinch protection⇒ .

Closing the window without pinch protection

• Try to close the window again within 10 seconds by holding the switch. Pinch protection is turned off for a short distance in the window track!

• If closing takes longer than about 10 seconds, pinch protection is turned on again. The window stops again if there is resistance.

• If the window still will not close, please see an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Warning

• Always be careful when closing power windows.

• Always make sure that no one is in the way when overriding pinch protection to close power windows!

• Pinch protection cannot prevent fingers or other parts of the body from being pressed against the window frame; injuries may result.

Pinch protection is also active during convenience closing of the windows and the power sunroof ⇒ Convenience closing .
