The steps outlined in this guide will show us how to activate and deactivate the alarm system through the dedicated button on the Volkswagen Tiguan. First, we get into the car on the driver's side and start the instrument panel; then we press the button located on the side pillar (driver's side), next to the seatbelt, as shown in the video.

This way we will temporarily deactivate the anti-theft system, pressing the button again to reactivate it; this button is an optional feature and may not be present on all vehicles.
