2020 VOLKSWAGEN T-ROC Owners Manual

RNING
Driving when the fuel level is too low can lead to the vehicle coming to a standstill in traffic,
potentially causing accidents and serious injuries.
When the fuel level is too low, the fuel supply to the engine could be irregular, especially when
driving up or down hills and inclines.
The steering, all driver assist systems and brake support systems stop working if the engine sputters
or goes off due to fuel shortage or irregular fuel supply.
Always fill the tank when it is still 1/4 full. This reduces the risk of running out of fuel and breaking
down.

NOTICE
Do not run the tank empty. The irregular fuel supply can cause misfiring and allow unburnt fuel to
enter the exhaust system. The catalytic converter or particulate filter could be damaged as a result.

The small arrow next to the petrol pump symbol in the fuel gauge shows you the side of the vehicle
on which the tank flap is located.

In vehicles with fixed oil change service, services take place at predefined service intervals.

Technical progress has made it possible to considerably reduce servicing requirements. An oil change
service must only be carried out when required by the vehicle. The individual conditions in which the
vehicle is used and the driver's personal driving style are taken into account. The service reminder is
displayed 30 days before the service is due. The distance is rounded to the nearest 100 km and the
remaining time is rounded to full days.
Service alert
If a service or inspection is due soon, a service alert will appear the next time the ignition is switched
on.
The number of kilometres or amount of time shown correspond to the maximum number of
kilometres or maximum time that can still be driven before the next service.
Service event
In the event of a due service or a due inspection, a signal tone will be given when the ignition is
switched on and the spanner symbol will be displayed for several seconds on the instrument
cluster display. One of the following displays will also appear Fig. 19
