Volkswagen Tiguan Service and Repair Manual: Multifunction Steering Wheel from 05/2010

General Information

The multifunction steering wheel makes it possible to control some functions of the communications system and the cruise control from the steering wheel.

The multifunction steering wheel has:

• The control unit in the steering wheel with two button arrays with integrated electronics, left and right on the steering wheel.

Note

• Familiarity with the function and operation of the digital sound system is needed if there are customer concerns.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual.

Troubleshooting

The multifunction steering wheel control module communicates only with the steering column electronics control module. Data commands are processed there once more for further communication with subsequent control modules (radio system, multi-function display "MFA" and telephone system).

The multifunction steering wheel is equipped with OBD.

When performing service work or fault-finding, use the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in the "Guided Fault Finding" function.
