Coming out of a parking space in the busy town centre, maneuvering in impassable terrain, attaching a trailer: there are many situations where a driver might need an extra pair of eyes. With the standard Area View, you’ve found them: four cameras monitor the area around the vehicle and supply useful views on the infotainment system screen. Almost like magic: coupling all the cameras helps the system create a birds eye view – and you’ve got the full view from above, of the car and its surroundings. 

The Side Assist system (Blind Spot Monitor) warns you about vehicles in your blind spot using an LED indicator on the exterior mirror. And if you still attempt to change lanes despite the warning, it starts to flash to attract more attention. The integrated Rear Traffic Alert warns you if any vehicles approach when you are reversing from a parking space. If you fail to respond to the warning, the system can prevent a collision by applying the brakes.

On monotonous journeys, risky situations can arise. That’s where Lane Assist (Lane Keeping Assist) comes in. Using a camera to monitor the markings on the road ahead. Lane Assist helps keep you safe by working to prevent you leaving your lane unintentionally. It employs small steering corrections to keep the vehicle in the correct lane.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is standard across the Tiguan Allspace range. It lets you set the speed you want to travel and the gap you want to allow between you and the car in front. In doing so, it makes life easier for the driver, while reducing the risk of exceeding the speed limit.

^{*For safety reasons, the adaptive cruise control system should not be used in heavy traffic or difficult road conditions such as heavy rain or ice.}

Using a radar sensor, the Front Assist (Autonomous Emergency Brake & Pedestrian Monitoring) detects a potential collision ahead by warning the driving and applying the brake to help ‘prevent’ a potential collision.
