🚗 Volkswagen Tiguan 2024 and ADAS systems: evolution or intrusion?
The 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan is one of the best-selling SUVs in Europe, appreciated for its design, comfort, and technology. However, there are growing complaints about the excessive intrusiveness of the standard Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS ).
Many drivers find that systems such as automatic braking , active lane keeping (Lane Assist) and Travel Assist interfere excessively with driving, especially in dynamic situations.
⚠️ Which ADAS systems are too invasive?
On the 2024 Tiguan, the main ADAS systems under accusation are:
-
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
-
Lane Assist (lane keeping assist)
-
Travel Assist (semi-autonomous driving on the highway)
In particular, Lane Assist when cornering is considered too abrupt , acting in a counterintuitive way even when the driver is performing correct maneuvers.
🛞 2024 Tiguan Lane Assist Problems: What Are Drivers Reporting?
Many users report that the 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan Lane Assist intervenes in the following ways:
-
Excessively stiff on the steering
-
Against the driver's intentions , especially when cornering
-
Unexpected , generating confusion and loss of control
This can create dangerous situations , especially on extra-urban or mountain roads, where the system interprets a perfectly controlled trajectory as an error.
🧭 VW Travel Assist: Comfort or Excessive Control?
The 2024 Tiguan's Travel Assist also receives criticism: the system manages the accelerator, brakes and steering on the highway, but:
-
It often forces the driver to drive passively
-
It maintains the center of the lane too rigidly , even when cornering
-
Reacts too sensitively to obstacles or slightly irregular lane lines
🧩 How to disable or adjust ADAS on the 2024 Tiguan
One of the most highlighted problems is that most ADAS systems are adjustable , but the process to modify them is:
-
Not very intuitive
-
It takes time and patience
-
It is based on complex menus of the central infotainment
For example, to deactivate Lane Assist on the 2024 Tiguan you need to:
-
Enter the main menu of the multimedia system
-
Access the Driver Assistance section
-
Select Lane Assist
-
Set to “inactive” or “passive mode”
However, each restart of the car could restore the default settings , forcing the driver to repeat the procedure.
