Get Power locking system -> Unlocking or locking the vehicle from the inside Guide for Volkswagen Tiguan 4 Door First Generation (2007-2016)

The vehicle key unlocks or locks the vehicle only when the battery in the remote control key has

enough power, and the remote control vehicle key is within a few yards/meters of the vehicle.

If the vehicle was unlocked with the remote control vehicle key and the door or the rear hatch has not
