2021 VOLKSWAGEN T-ROC child seat

There is a risk of injury if a front-facing child seat is on the front passenger seat.
Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible and adjust to its highest position to create the
largest possible distance between the child seat and the front passenger front airbag.
Move the backrest to the upright position.
Adjust the seat belt height adjuster to the highest position.
Use only child seats that have been approved by the child seat manufacturer for use on a front
passenger seat with front and side airbags.

WARNING
To help avoid injuries caused by inflation of a curtain airbag or side airbag:
Ensure that no children are seated within the airbag deployment zones ⇒ Airbag system .
Do not place any objects in the side airbag deployment zones.
Securing systems
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Different countries use different securing systems for safely fitting child seats in the vehicle.
Overview of securing systems
ISOFIX: ISOFIX is a standardised securing system for fitting child seats in the vehicle quickly and
safely. The ISOFIX attachment system creates a rigid connection between the child seat and the
vehicle body.
Compatible child seats have two rigid attachment arms that engage in ISOFIX attachment points at
the bottom of the backrest (on the outer rear seats). The ISOFIX securing system as described here is
specific to Europe ⇒ Securing a child seat with ISOFIX . An upper strap (top tether) and/or support
foot may sometimes have to be used in addition to the ISOFIX anchor points described above.
Three-point automatic seat belt. It is preferable to secure child seats using the ISOFIX system, if
available, rather than with a three-point automatic seat belt ⇒ Securing child seats with a seat belt .
Additional securing points:
Recommended child seat securing systems
Volkswagen recommends that child seats are secured as follows:
Infant carrier or rear-facing child seat: ISOFIX and support foot.
Front-facing child seat: ISOFIX and top tether and possibly also support foot.

WARNING

Incorrect use of the support foot can cause severe or fatal injuries.
Ensure that the support foot is always correctly and safely installed.

Installing child seats with ISOFIX/i-Size
Observe and follow the instructions ⇒ Fitting and using child seats .
Pull on both sides of the child seat to check whether the seat has clicked properly into place.
Securing child seats with a seat belt
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
If you want to fit a child seat from the "universal" (u) approval category in your vehicle, you must
first ensure that it is approved for the seat position in question. Important information is given on
the orange ECE approval label on the child seat. Installation options are shown in the table below.
Securing a child seat with a seat belt
Observe and follow the instructions ⇒ Fitting and using child seats .
Fasten the seat belt and guide it through the child seat as described in the child seat manufacturer's
instructions.
Ensure that the seat belt is not twisted.

Always take all vehicle keys with you every time you leave the vehicle. The windows can still be
opened or closed using the buttons for a short time after the ignition has been switched off,
provided the driver door and the front passenger door are not opened.
When transporting children on the rear bench seat, the rear electric windows should always be
deactivated using the safety button so that they cannot be opened or closed.

NOTICE
If windows are open when it starts to rain, water can soak the interior equipment of the vehicle and
cause damage to the vehicle.

One-touch opening and closing and the roll-back function will not work if there is a malfunction in
the electric windows. Go to a qualified workshop.

Convenience opening and closing only works when one-touch opening and closing is activated for all
electric windows.

Some settings can be saved in the user accounts for personalisation and therefore change
automatically when the user account is changed ⇒ Personalisation .
Electric window roll-back function
The roll-back function for the electric windows can reduce the risk of injuries when the windows are
closing.
If the window is not able to close because it is stiff or because of an obstruction, the window will
immediately open again ⇒ .
Check to see why the window has not closed.
Try to close the window again.
If the window closing process is interrupted again, the roll-back function will be disabled for a few
seconds.
If the window still cannot close, it will come to a stop at this point. To close the window without the
roll-back function, press the button again within a few seconds ⇒ .

WARNING
Closing the electric windows without the roll-back function can lead to serious injuries.
Always close the window carefully.

Fold the front passenger seat backrest forwards in the direction of the arrow ⇒ Fig. 70②  until it is
horizontal.
When it is folded down, the front passenger seat backrest must engage securely into place.
Folding back the front passenger seat backrest
When folding back, make sure that there are no items or body parts in the area of the hinges.
To fold back, release the front passenger seat backrest again ⇒ Fig. 70① .
Fold back the front passenger seat backrest so that it is upright.
When it is folded up, the front passenger seat backrest must engage securely into place.

WARNING
Serious injuries could be caused if the front passenger seat backrest is folded forwards and
backwards in an uncontrolled way and without taking due care.
Fold the front passenger seat backrest forwards and backwards only when the vehicle is stationary.
When folding the front passenger seat backrest forwards, always make sure that there are no
people, animals or objects in its path.
The front airbag must be switched off and the PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamp must be
lit for as long as the front passenger seat backrest is folded forwards.
When folding forwards and backwards, keep all hands, fingers, feet and other body parts away from
the seat hinges and seat release mechanism.
Floor mats or other objects could get caught in the hinges on the front passenger seat backrest. This
could cause the front passenger seat backrest to fail to engage securely when it is returned to the
upright position.
When being folded back, the front passenger seat backrest must be securely locked in the upright
position. If the front passenger seat backrest is not locked properly, it could move suddenly and
cause serious injuries.

WARNING
The open seat anchorages and hinges of the folded front passenger seat backrest can cause serious
injuries in the event of a sudden braking manoeuvre or accident.
Never transport either adults or children on the front passenger seat if the front passenger seat
backrest is folded forwards.
If the front passenger seat backrest is folded forwards, you must use only the rear seat behind the
driver seat. This also applies to children in child seats.
Rear seats

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Folding the backrests on the rear bench seat forwards and backwards 
The following section describes the options for adjusting the rear seats. Always ensure that you
adjust the correct sitting position ⇒ Sitting position .

WARNING
Incorrect adjustment of the rear seat can cause accidents and serious injuries.
The rear seat should be adjusted only when the vehicle is stationary as the rear seat could otherwise
move unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion. Furthermore, an incorrect seating position is
adopted while adjusting the seat.
Adjust the rear seat only when there is no one in the adjustment area of the rear seats.

WARNING
Cigarette lighters left in the vehicle can become damaged or may ignite unnoticed. This can cause
serious burns and vehicle damage.
Before adjusting the seats, always make sure that there is no lighter on or near the moveable parts
of the seat.
Before closing stowage areas or compartments, always make sure that there is no lighter in the way.
Never stow lighters in stowage areas, compartments or on other surfaces in the vehicle. Cigarette
lighters may self-ignite as a result of high surface temperatures, particularly in summer.

WARNING
In order to reduce the risk of injury while the vehicle is in motion, the centre armrest must always be
folded up and the stowage compartment must be closed.
The middle seat on the rear bench seat must never be used when the centre armrest is folded down
– neither by adults nor children. An incorrect sitting position can cause serious injuries.
Never transport an adult or child on the centre armrest.
Close the stowage compartment only when there is no one in its closing path.

NOTICE

WARNING
Injuries can be caused if the rear seat backrests are folded forwards and backwards in an
uncontrolled way and without taking due care.
While folding the rear seat backrest forward, always make sure that no people or animals are in its
path.
Never fold the rear seat backrest forwards or backwards while the vehicle is in motion.
Ensure that the seat belt is not trapped or damaged when folding back the rear seat backrest.
Always keep hands, fingers, feet or other body parts away from the swivel area when folding the
rear seat backrest forwards and backwards.
Ensure that each rear seat backrest engages securely, otherwise the seat belts for the rear seats will
not offer maximum protection. This applies to the centre seat of the rear bench seat in particular. If
a seat is occupied and the corresponding rear seat backrest has not engaged securely into place, the
seat occupant and rear seat backrest may move forwards in the event of a sudden braking or driving
manoeuvre or during accidents.
Adults and children must not use seats if the corresponding backrest is folded forwards or is not
engaged securely into place.

NOTICE
Damage to the vehicle or to other objects could be caused if the rear bench seat backrest is folded
forwards and backwards in an uncontrolled way or without due care.
Before folding the rear seat backrests forwards, always adjust the front seats so that the rear head
restraints or rear seat cushions do impact the front seats.
Before folding down the rear seat backrest, always make sure that there are no objects located in its
path.
Head restraints
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Adjusting the head restraints 
⇒ Removing and installing head restraints 
The following section describes the options for adjusting and removing the head restraints. Always
ensure that you adjust the correct sitting position ⇒ Sitting position .
Every seat is fitted with a head restraint. The centre head restraint at the rear is designed solely for
use with the centre rear bench seat. Therefore you should not install this head restraint in any of the
other positions.

WARNING
When fully open or not completely closed, the front centre armrest can restrict the freedom of
movement of the driver's arms and therefore cause accidents and serious injuries.
Always keep stowage compartments closed while the vehicle is in motion.
Never transport an adult or child on the centre armrest. An incorrect seating position can cause
serious injury.
