The traction control plays a crucial role while driving your Volkswagen Tiguan, significantly enhancing stability and safety. For this reason, it should only be disabled in case of malfunctions or for specific short-term needs.

Here’s how to manually disable it. First, insert the key and turn on the ignition. Next, move to the radio control panel and reach the lower area of the dashboard.

Locate the "Off" button with a car icon and press it. This will disable the traction control. To reactivate it, simply press the same button again.
