2021 VOLKSWAGEN T-ROC Door

Coat hooks are located on the centre door pillars and on the rear roof grab handles.
Bag hooks are located in the luggage compartment ⇒ Luggage compartment equipment .

WARNING
Hanging up items of clothing can restrict the driver's field of vision and cause accidents and serious
injuries.
Always hang items of clothing on the coat hook in such a way that they do not restrict the driver's
field of vision.
The coat hooks in the vehicle should be used only for lightweight clothing. Never leave any heavy,
hard or sharp objects in the pockets.

NOTICE
Each coat hook may be loaded with a maximum of 2.5 kg.
Drink holders
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Drink holder in the rear centre armrest 
Bottle holders
Bottle holders for bottles up to a maximum volume of 1.5 l are located in the stowage
compartments in the driver and front passenger door.

WARNING
Incorrect use of the drink holders can cause injury.
Never place hot drinks in a drink holder. Hot drinks in a drink holder could be spilled and cause
scalding in any sudden braking manoeuvre or accident.
Ensure that drink bottles or any other objects do not enter the driver footwell and obstruct the
pedals while the vehicle is in motion.
Never place heavy cups, food or any other heavy items in the drink holders. These heavy objects
could be flung through the vehicle interior during an accident and cause serious injuries.

WARNING

Before driving through an automatic car wash.
The vehicle height exceeds the required clearance height, e.g. in a garage.

NOTICE
Always remove the roof carrier before driving through an automatic car wash.
The height of the vehicle is changed by the installation of a roof carrier and the load secured to it.
Check and compare the height of the vehicle with clearance heights, e.g. for underpasses and garage
doors.
The roof carrier and its load must not obstruct you from opening and closing the glass roof and the
boot lid. The roof aerial must also remain unaffected.

Driving with a fitted roof carrier will increase air resistance and thus increase fuel consumption.
Trailer towing
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Technical requirements 
⇒ Fitting the removable ball head 
⇒ Removing the ball head 
⇒ Notes on towing a trailer 
⇒ Loading the trailer 
⇒ Driving with a trailer 
⇒ Trailer stabilisation 
⇒ Retrofitting a towing bracket 
The vehicle can be used to tow a trailer if it has the required technical equipment for this. The
additional trailer load will affect the amount of wear, fuel consumption and performance of the
vehicle and, in certain circumstances, could shorten the service intervals.
Driving with a trailer not only places an extra load on the vehicle, but also requires increased
concentration on the part of the driver.
Vehicles with start/stop system
When using towing brackets that were not retrofitted by Volkswagen, the start/stop system must be
deactivated manually using the button in the centre console before towing a trailer, and it must
remain deactivated for as long as a trailer is being towed ⇒ .

WARNING
Incorrect refuelling can lead to fire, serious injuries and vehicle damage.

A symbol in the instrument cluster display ⇒ Fig. 184  indicates if the bonnet is open or is not closed
properly.
Do not drive on! If necessary, lift the bonnet and then close it again.
This symbol is also visible when the ignition is switched off and will go out a few seconds after the
vehicle has been locked when all doors are closed.

WARNING
Failure to observe warnings can cause your vehicle to break down in traffic, which can lead to
accidents and serious injuries.

Service fluids and consumables
All service fluids and consumables, e.g. tyres, coolant and vehicle batteries, are being constantly
developed. The same applies to toothed belts, engine oils and spark plugs for combustion engines,
for example. For this reason, service fluids and consumables should be replaced at a qualified
workshop. Volkswagen dealerships always have the latest information about any changes.

WARNING
Unsuitable service fluids and consumables, and the incorrect use of these fluids and consumables,
can cause accidents, serious injuries, burns or poisoning.

Tyre pressure

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Information on the sticker ⇒ Fig. 194 :
Tyre pressure for the tyres on the front axle.
Tyre pressure for the tyres on the rear axle.
Note: check the tyre pressure when the tyres are cold.
Tyre pressure for partial load.
Vehicle-dependent: comfort tyre pressure for partial load.
Tyre pressure for full load.
Tyre pressure level for the spare or temporary spare wheel.
The sticker provides the correct tyre pressure for approved tyres and is located either on the driver
door pillar ⇒ Fig. 195  or inside the tank flap.
The appearance of the sticker may differ between vehicles. It may include additional tyre sizes.
The wrong tyre pressure will have a negative effect on the vehicle handling and leads to high levels
of wear or even a burst tyre ⇒ . The correct tyre pressure is particularly important at high speeds.
Comfort tyre pressure
Depending on the vehicle, the tyre pressure sticker may show details of a comfort tyre pressure
⇒ Fig. 194③ . The comfort tyre pressure allows increased driving comfort. Fuel consumption may
increase when driving with comfort tyre pressure.

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Vehicles in the EU and the so-called EU user states are issued an EC Certificate of Conformity. This
details the size, diameter, load rating and speed range of all tyres approved by Volkswagen for the
relevant vehicle type.

Winter tyres
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Winter or all-year tyres improve the handling and braking response in winter conditions. Volkswagen
recommends that winter tyres be fitted to the vehicle at temperatures below +7°C (+45°F) or in
winter conditions.
Winter tyres and all-year tyres lose a large degree of their effectiveness for winter conditions when
the tread is worn down to a depth of 4 mm.
The following applies when using winter tyres:

Hand wash
As a rule, a hand wash is a gentle method to clean your vehicle. However, there are also some things
to note for this ⇒ .

g brush using only light pressure.
Start with the roof and work from the top to the bottom.


Use a shampoo for very stubborn dirt only.
Waxing
Waxing protects the paintwork. At the latest when water no longer clearly forms small drops and
runs off the paintwork when the vehicle is clean, reapply the protection to the vehicle using a quality
preservative wax.
Even if a preservative wax is applied regularly in the automatic car wash, Volkswagen recommends
protecting the vehicle paintwork at least twice a year using Volkswagen Genuine hard wax (-
000 096 317 -).
Polishing
Polishing is only necessary if the paint has lost its shine, and the gloss cannot be brought back by
applying wax.
Matt-painted vehicle parts must not be polished in order to avoid producing a shine ⇒ .
