2020 VOLKSWAGEN T-ROC checking

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

Checking service schedules
You can access the current scheduled service information when the ignition is switched on, the
engine is not running, and the vehicle is stationary:
Accessing the service schedule in the Infotainment system.
Press the button or function button.
Press the Vehicle and function buttons Infotainment system controls and displays

e date and time set in the vehicle are correct Time
Open the Auxiliary heater menu.
Touch the Set function button.
Select one of the memory locations for a Departure time.
Touch the Activate function button.
Manual air conditioning system: the programmed departure time determines the time at which
the auxiliary heater or ventilation should switch off. The point at which the heating or ventilation
process starts is determined depending on the programmed running time.
Climatronic: on the basis of the programmed departure time, the vehicle automatically
calculates the start time for heating or ventilation to the currently set temperature depending on
the outside temperature.
Press the Running time function button under Adjust in order to select the running time when the
auxiliary heater is switched on using the immediate heat button or remote control.
Checking programming
If a departure time has been activated, the LED in the immediate heat button will light up on the
Climatronic control panel for approximately 10 seconds after the ignition is switched off.

WARNING
Never program the auxiliary heating system so that is switched on and run in unventilated or
enclosed spaces. Among other things, the emissions from the auxiliary heater contain carbon
monoxide, which is an odourless and colourless poisonous gas. Carbon monoxide can cause people
to lose consciousness. It can also cause death.

If the front brake pads are checked, the rear brake pads should be checked at the same time. A
visual check of the thickness of all brake pads should be carried out regularly by checking the brake
pads through the openings in the rims or from the underside of the vehicle. If necessary, remove the
wheels to carry out a comprehensive check. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen
dealership for this purpose.
Driving a loaded vehicle
For good vehicle handling when driving a loaded vehicle, please observe the following:
Stow all items of luggage securely Stowing luggage and loads
Accelerate particularly cautiously and carefully.
Avoid sudden braking and driving manoeuvres.
Brake earlier than in normal driving.
If applicable, observe the information concerning the roof carrier Roof carrier


WARNING
Moving loads can severely impair the vehicle's stability and driving safety which could cause
accidents and serious injuries.
Secure items properly so they cannot slide about.
Use suitable lashing or securing straps when securing heavy objects.
Securely engage the rear seat backrests.
Driving with an open boot lid
Driving with an open boot lid is particularly dangerous. All objects and the open boot lid must be
secured properly. Take the appropriate measures to reduce the amount of poisonous exhaust fumes
that could enter into the vehicle.

WARNING
Driving with an unlocked or open boot lid can cause serious injuries.
Always drive with the boot lid closed.
Always stow all items in the luggage compartment securely. Loose objects can fall out of the luggage
compartment and injure other road users.
Always drive especially carefully and think ahead.

Periodic regeneration
The soot in the particulate filter is burnt off at high temperatures on a periodic basis.
To assist the regeneration of the particulate filter, Volkswagen recommends that you avoid making
only short journeys.
Noises, slight smells and increased engine speeds may occur during regeneration. The radiator fan
may run on while the vehicle is moving or when the engine has been switched off.

During the periodic regeneration process, the yellow indicator lamp does not light up.

Troubleshooting
The engine oils are not only tailored to the requirements of engines and exhaust gas treatment
systems, but also to fuel quality. Due to the way in which a combustion engine works, engine oil
always comes into contact with combustion residues and fuel, which has corresponding effects on
the ageing process of the oil. The correct engine oil is important for the function and service life of
the engine. A special multigrade high-lubricity oil has been filled at the factory and this can normally
be used as an all-season oil.
