2021 VOLKSWAGEN T-ROC warning

The area in front of and around the sensors and cameras must not be covered by stickers, additional
headlights, trim frames for number plates or similar.
Repairs and structural modifications should therefore be carried out only by a qualified workshop.
Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.

Engine and transmission guard
An engine and transmission guard can reduce the risk of damage to the vehicle's underbody and
sump, for example when driving over kerbs, drive entrances or unsurfaced roads.
Volkswagen recommends that you have this equipment retrofitted by your Volkswagen dealership.

WARNING
Incorrectly performed repairs and modifications can cause malfunctions and damage to the vehicle
and impair the effectiveness of the driver assist systems. This can result in accidents and severe
injuries.


WARNING
Unsuitable spare parts and accessories, incorrectly carried out work, modifications and repairs can
lead to damage to the vehicle and cause accidents and serious injuries.

Repairs and faults in the airbag system

Repairs and technical modifications must always be carried out according to Volkswagen
specifications⇒ .
Modifications and repairs to the front bumper, doors, front seats, headliner or the bodywork should
be carried out only by a qualified workshop. Airbag system components and sensors might be fitted
on these vehicle components.
If you work on the airbag system or remove and install parts of the system when performing other
repair work, parts of the airbag system may be damaged. The consequence may be that, in the event
of an accident, the airbag inflates incorrectly or does not inflate at all.
Regulations must be observed to ensure that the effectiveness of the airbags is not reduced and that
removed parts do not cause any injuries or environmental pollution. Qualified workshops are
familiar with these regulations.
Any modifications to the vehicle's suspension could prevent the airbag system from working
properly during a collision. For example, using wheel rim/tyre combinations that have not been
approved by Volkswagen, lowering the suspension or making modifications to the suspension rate
including work on the springs, struts and shock absorbers etc., could change the forces that are
measured by the airbag sensors and sent to the electronic control unit. Some changes to the
suspension could cause the forces measured by the sensors to increase, for example. This can lead
to the airbag system being triggered in collision scenarios where it normally would not be triggered if
modifications to the suspension had not been made. Other modifications can cause the forces
measured by the sensors to decrease, therefore preventing the airbag system from being triggered
when it should have been.

WARNING
Incorrect repairs and modifications can cause malfunctions and damage to the vehicle and impair
the effectiveness of the airbag system. This can result in accidents and serious or even fatal injuries.

WARNING
Modifications to the vehicle's suspension, including the use of unsuitable tyre/rim combinations, can

Mobile reception in the vehicle

Electromagnetic radiation
If a mobile phone or two-way radio is used without being connected to the external aerial, the
electromagnetic radiation will not be optimally directed to the outside of the vehicle. Increased
levels of radiation in the vehicle interior can occur in particular in the event of poor reception, e.g. in
rural areas. This can pose a health risk ⇒ .
With some equipment levels, a suitable mobile phone interface may be used to connect the mobile
telephone to the external aerial ⇒BookletInfotainment system,. The connection quality is improved
and the range is increased.
Using the telephone
Many countries require a hands-free system to be used when using a telephone inside the vehicle,
e.g. via a Bluetooth ® connection. Secure the mobile telephone to a suitable holder before using it ⇒
  or stow it securely away in one of the stowage compartments provided, e.g. in the centre
console.
Use a compatible mobile phone if the mobile phone interface uses SIM Access Profile (rSAP)
technology. If the LTE mobile standard is supported, use a SIM card with LTE data option.
Radio communication
Observe any legal requirements and the manufacturer's owner's manual when using radio
communication devices. Two-way radios must be approved if they are to be retrofitted in the
vehicle.
Contact your Volkswagen dealership for further information on installing a two-way radio.

WARNING
Mobile telephones which are loosely placed in the vehicle or not properly secured could be flung
through the interior and cause injuries during a sudden driving or braking manoeuvre, or in the
event of an accident.

WARNING
If mobile telephones or two-way radios that are not connected to an external aerial are used,
electromagnetic radiation in the vehicle could exceed limit values and thus be a health hazard for
drivers and other vehicle occupants. This also applies to external aerials which have not been
correctly installed.

If the vehicle is approved for towing a trailer, observe any local regulations for driving with a trailer
and using a towing bracket.
If the vehicle exceeds the gross vehicle weight rating or the rear axle load, do not exceed 80 km/h
when towing a trailer. This also applies to countries where higher speeds are permitted. Keep to
country-specific speed limits which may be lower for vehicles with trailers than for vehicles without
trailers.
The vehicle documents contain details of permitted excess loads. If no excess loads are shown, the
vehicle can be driven at 100 km/h, taking account of the laws which apply in different countries.
