To reset the electronic handbrake on the Volkswagen Tiguan, completely remove the front wheel of the car to access the components behind it: here you will find the brake caliper, which must be removed by loosening its bolts. Behind it, there is the handbrake connector, which should be disconnected and then reconnected after a few seconds.

This will correctly reset the handbrake, and when used, you will notice that it is functioning properly.
