In this guide, we will see information on how to temporarily disable the traction control of the Volkswagen Tiguan; it is advised not to disable this function on the road, as it could compromise the vehicle's grip. First, let's get inside the cabin and start turning on the instrument panel and the engine; at the bottom of the dashboard, behind the gear lever, we find the traction control deactivation button, as shown in the video.

A warning light will appear on the instrument panel indicating that the traction control is temporarily disabled; to reactivate it, simply press the button again.
