⇒ m1.1 easures when working on vehicles with a start/stop
system”, page 1
⇒ p1.2 recautions when using testers and measuring instru‐
ments during a road test”, page 1
1.1 Safety measures when working on vehicles with a start/stop system

Risk of injury from unexpected engine start
If the vehicle's start/stop system is activated, the engine can
start unexpectedly. A message in the dash panel insert indi‐
cates whether the start/stop system is activated.
– Deactivate start/stop system by switching off the ignition.
1.2 Safety precautions when using testers and measuring instruments during
a road test
Risk of injury caused by unsecured testing and measuring in‐
struments
When the front passenger airbag is triggered in an accident, in‐
sufficiently secured testing and measuring instruments become
dangerous projectiles.
– Secure testing and measuring instruments on the rear seat.
Or
– Have a second person operate the test and measuring
equipment on the rear seat.

⇒ f2.1 or cleanliness”, page 2
⇒ i2.2 nformation”, page 2
⇒ c2.3 orrosion”, page 2
⇒ a2.4 nd attachment of lines”, page 2
2.1 Rules for cleanliness

Even slight soiling can cause faults. Observe the following rules
for cleanliness:
♦ Thoroughly clean all connections/inspection holes and cor‐
responding surrounding areas before disconnecting/opening
them.
♦ Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover them
over. Use only lint-free cloths.
♦ If repair work cannot be performed immediately, carefully
cover or seal components.
♦ Install only clean replacement parts. Do not remove new
parts from packaging until immediately before installing. Do
not use replacement parts that have been stored without
packaging (e.g. loose in toolboxes).
♦ If system is open, do not work with compressed air.
♦ Protect disconnected electrical connectors from dirt and wa‐
ter, and reconnect them only when dry.
2.2 General information

♦ For the relevant current flow diagrams, see ⇒ Current flow
diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations.
2.3 Contact corrosion

Contact corrosion can occur if unsuitable fasteners (bolts, nuts,
washers, etc.) are used.
For this reason, only connecting elements with a special surface
coating have been fitted.
In addition, rubber, plastic and adhesives are made of non-con‐
ductive materials.
If there is any doubt about the suitability of replacement parts, a
general rule is to use new replacement parts ⇒ Electronic parts
catalogue (ETKA).
Please note:
♦ Use only genuine parts which are tested and compatible with
aluminium.
♦ The use of genuine parts is always recommended.
♦ Damage resulting from contact corrosion is not covered by
the warranty.
2.4 Routing and attachment of lines

♦ In order to rule out mix-ups and ensure that lines/wires/ca‐
bles/hoses/pipe are all installed in their original position, the
lines for the fuel, hydraulic and vacuum systems and for the
activated carbon filter as well as electrical wires/cables must
be marked appropriately before they are removed. Where
necessary, make sketches or take photographs.
2 Rep. gr.00 - Technical data

Tiguan 2021 ➤
♦ To avoid damage to lines, ensure adequate clearance from

all moving or hot components on account of the confined
space.

3.2.1 Calibration conditions

Before commencing with calibration of the adaptive cruise con‐
trol (ACC) system, it is necessary to check the sensor and its
bracket for damage
Before calibrating the adaptive cruise control (ACC) system,
read out the event memory and rectify any faults found
Use only a wheel alignment machine and adjusting devices
approved by VW/AUDI to calibrate the adaptive cruise control
(ACC) system.
Correct calibration is an essential prerequisite for the perfect
functioning of the adaptive cruise control (ACC) system
The adaptive cruise control unit -J428- must be calibrated if any
of the following conditions apply:
♦ If adaptive cruise control unit -J428- has been renewed.
♦ Lock carrier has been moved to service position
♦ Lock carrier has been removed and installed
♦ Lock carrier has been renewed
♦ Toe on rear axle has been adjusted
♦ Conversions/adjustments have been carried out on the run‐
ning gear that affect the ride height.

Note
♦ Before driving the vehicle onto the wheel alignment plat‐

form, make sure there is sufficient space between the ve‐
hicle and the setting device -VAS 6430-. The distance be‐
tween setting device -VAS 6430- and the sensor must be
120 cm ± 2.5 cm.
♦ If the available space is not adequate, move the vehicle
backwards onto the alignment platform as required to ach‐
ieve the space required.
♦ If the position of the ACC reflecting mirror -VAS 6430/10-
on alignment beam is changed during the adjustment work,
the setting of setting device -VAS 6430- must always be
checked, e.g. spirit levels, individual toe values on the ad‐
justing beam.
• Before commencing with calibration / adjustment, read out

event memory.
• Any faults must be rectified.
The calibration procedure is described with the setting device
-VAS 6430-.
The following adjustment sequence must be adhered to:
1- Establish a distance of 120 cm ± 2.5 cm between the ACC
reflecting mirror -VAS 6430/10- fitted in centre and sensor
in radiator grille.
2- Install ACC reflector mirror -VAS 6430/10- centred on

The following situations can cause the camera function to be

impaired by sustained poor visibility of the lane marker lines:
♦ The field of view of the camera is soiled or iced over. In this

case, the dirt or ice must be removed.
♦ The field of view of the camera is fogged over.
The camera’s viewing window must be cleaned manually if
there is heavy soiling on the inside of the windscreen in the
field of view of the camera. To do this, the control unit and
lens hood must be removed and the windscreen cleaned using
cleaning solution. Remove control unit and lens hood ⇒ Electri‐
cal system; Rep. gr. 96; Front camera for driver assist systems
Correct calibration is a basic precondition for the front camera
to function without faults.
The following circumstances make it necessary to recalibrate
the front camera:
♦ Entry “no or incorrect basic setting / adaptation” is stored in
event memory.
♦ Front camera has been renewed.
♦ Windscreen has been renewed or removed.
♦ Rear axle toe has been adjusted.
♦ Modifications having an effect on the body height have been
made to the car's running gear.
♦ On vehicles with electronic damping control: vehicle level
senders have been readapted.

Tiguan 2021 ➤
Note
♦ Before calibrating the front camera for driver assist systems,

read out event memory and rectify faults as necessary.
♦ Calibration of the front camera for driver assist systems must
be performed using only VW / AUDI approved wheel align‐
ment equipment.
♦ Calibration of the driver assistant system's front camera is
permitted only with the setting device -VAS 6430-!
Note
♦ The calibration target must be sufficiently and evenly illumi‐

nated.
♦ Spot lighting from extraneous light sources should be avoi‐
ded.

♦ Setting device -VAS 6430-
♦ Wheel alignment computer
Note
♦ The front camera must be correctly seated in the holder.

♦ The field of view of the camera must be clean and clear.
♦ Before driving the vehicle onto the wheel alignment platform,
make sure there is sufficient space between the midpoint
of the hub of the front wheels and the setting device -VAS
6430-.
♦ The distance between the setting device -VAS 6430- and the
centre point of the hub of the front wheels must be 1500 mm
± 25 mm.
♦ If the available space is not adequate, move the vehicle
backwards onto the alignment platform as required to ach‐
ieve the space required.
♦ The calibration board must be positioned centrally on the
setting device.
♦ Read out the event memory before starting the calibration
process. Any memory entries must be rectified.
