2020 VOLKSWAGEN T-ROC rims

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.

NOTICE
Park Assist uses parked vehicles, the kerbs and other objects as guidance. Make sure that the tyres
and wheel rims are not damaged when parking the vehicle. If necessary, stop the parking procedure
in good time to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Prerequisites
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
The following prerequisites must be met for driving into and out of parking spaces:
The traction control system (TCS) must be switched on Brake support systems
Distance: maintain a distance of 0.5 2.0 metres when driving past the parking space.
The parking space must have at least the dimensions required by Park Assist.
Speed when driving past the parking space (for parking spaces parallel to the road): not above
40 km/h (25 mph).
Speed when driving past the parking space (for parking spaces perpendicular to the road): not above
20 km/h (12 mph).
Maximum speed: 7 km/h (4 mph). An automatic braking intervention can take place when driving
into a parking space.
No trailer is connected electrically with the factory-fitted towing bracket Notes on towing a
trailer
The parking manoeuvre can be continued after the automatic brake intervention.
The automatic braking intervention takes place a maximum of once per parking manoeuvre. The
parking manoeuvre will be cancelled if a speed of approximately 7 km/h (4 mph) is exceeded again.

WARNING
Do not let the automatic braking intervention triggered by Park Assist tempt you to take any risks
while driving. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
Park Assist has system-related limitations. In some situations, automatic braking intervention may
function only in a limited way or not at all.
You should always be prepared to brake the vehicle yourself.
The automatic braking intervention is ended after approximately 1.5 seconds. Depress the brake
pedal of the vehicle yourself following the automatic braking intervention.

Fastening rings

Fig. 151 In the luggage compartment: fixed and folding fastening rings.
There are fastening rings Fig. 151at the front and rear of the luggage compartment which can be
used to secure loose items and luggage with the help of lashing, retaining or securing straps.

WARNING
Unsuitable or damaged lashing, retaining or securing straps could tear in the event of a braking
manoeuvre or accident. This could cause objects to be flung through the vehicle interior and lead to
severe or fatal injuries.
Always use suitable and undamaged lashing, retaining or securing straps.
Pull lashing, retaining and securing straps taut crosswise over the cargo on the luggage compartment
floor and attach securely to the fastening rings.
Never exceed the maximum load rating of the fastening rings when securing objects.
Make sure that the upper edge of the load is higher than the fastening rings, particularly when
stowing flat objects.

Useful information about wheels and tyres
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Handling wheels and tyres
Wheel rims and wheel bolts
Tyre pressure
Tread depth and wear indicators
Tyre damage

Tyre lettering and tyre type
Maximum load and speed range for tyres
Winter tyres
Snow chains
The tyres are the most heavily loaded and most underestimated parts of a vehicle. Tyres are very
important as the narrow tyre contact surfaces are the only contact between the vehicle and the
road.
The service life of tyres is dependent on tyre pressure, driving style, handling and correct fitting.

WARNING
New tyres or tyres which are old, worn down or damaged cannot provide full vehicle control and
braking efficiency.
