2021 VOLKSWAGEN T-ROC dimensions

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⇒Introduction 
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.

Retrofitting a towing bracket

Fig. 157 Dimensions and mounting points for retrofitting a towing bracket.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Volkswagen recommends having the towing bracket retrofitted by a qualified workshop. The cooling
system may need to be modified or heat shields may need to be fitted. Volkswagen recommends
using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Dimensions
The dimensions ⇒ Fig. 157  must be observed in all cases when retrofitting a towing bracket. Always
observe the minimum distance given from the middle of the ball head Ⓓ to the surface of the road.
This also applies when the vehicle is fully laden, including maximum drawbar load.

e cable and then the negative cable ⇒ .
Various indicator lamps may light up after the 12-volt vehicle battery has been connected and the
ignition is switched on. They will go out when you drive a short distance at a speed of approximately
15 – 20 km/h (10 – 12 mph). If the indicator lamps remain lit up, the vehicle should be checked by a
qualified workshop.
If the 12-volt vehicle battery was disconnected for an extended period, the system may not able to
calculate or correctly display the time when the next service is due ⇒ Instrument cluster . Observe
the maximum permissible service intervals ⇒ Service .
Automatic switch-off for electrical consumers
The intelligent vehicle electrical system management function automatically implements a range of
measures to prevent the 12-volt vehicle battery from discharging under high loads:


power supply to the 12-volt socket and the cigarette lighter may be interrupted temporarily
while the engine is being started.
The vehicle electrics management system cannot always prevent the 12-volt vehicle battery from
being discharged, for example if the ignition is left on over a long period with the engine off or the
side lights or parking lights are left on over a long period of time.

WARNING
Incorrectly mounting the battery and using incorrect 12-volt vehicle batteries can cause short
circuits, fire and serious injuries.
-free and leak-proof 12-volt vehicle batteries that have the same
properties, specifications and dimensions as the factory-fitted 12-volt vehicle battery.

WARNING
A highly explosive mixture of gases is given off when the 12-volt vehicle battery is being charged.

NOTICE
Avoid heavy impacts and drive round obstacles whenever possible. Tyres can be deformed by
potholes and kerb edges especially. This can cause damage to the tyres and wheel rims.

Old tyres should be disposed of as required by legislation.

Volkswagen-approved tyres are guaranteed to have the dimensions that are suitable for the vehicle.
In the case of other tyres, the tyre seller must provide a certificate from the tyre manufacturer
stating that the tyre is also suitable for the vehicle. This certificate must be stored in a safe place in
the vehicle.
Wheel rims and wheel bolts
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Wheel rims, tyres and wheel bolts are matched to the vehicle type. If different wheel rims are fitted,
the correct wheel bolts with the correct length and correctly shaped bolt heads must be used.
For technical reasons, it is not generally possible to use the wheel rims from other vehicles. This can
also apply to wheel rims of the same vehicle type.
The tightening torque of the wheel bolts must be checked regularly with a properly functioning
torque wrench.
Wheel bolts
The correct wheel bolts must be used for each vehicle type; these bolts must always be tightened
with the correct tightening torque ⇒ Wheel bolts .
Wheel rims with bolted rim rings or trim elements
Rims with bolted-on rings or trim elements consist of several components. These components are
joined together using special bolts. Damaged wheel rims must be replaced and must always be
repaired only by a qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for
this purpose ⇒ .
Wheel rim identification
In some countries, new wheel rims must contain information on certain properties. The following
information may appear on the wheel rim:

Exceeding the maximum permissible weights, payload, dimensions, vehicle speeds and axle weight
ratings could cause damage to the vehicle, accidents and serious injuries.

axle loads must never exceed the gross axle weight ratings.
braking distance of the vehicle. Adjust your speed accordingly.

NOTICE
The load should be distributed as evenly as possible in the vehicle. When transporting heavy objects
in the luggage compartment, they should be placed either in front of or over the rear axle in order to
minimise the effect on the vehicle's handling.

NOTICE
Observe the instructions and information for vehicles with an N1 approval ⇒ Information about
vehicles with N1 approval (light commercial vehicle) .

Vehicle identification number (VIN)
The vehicle identification number can be read from outside the vehicle through a viewer in the
windscreen ⇒ Fig. 216  (arrow). The viewer is located in the lower corner of the windscreen. The
vehicle identification number is also stamped on the right-hand water drainage channel. The water
drainage channel is located between the suspension turret and wing. Open the bonnet to gain
access to the vehicle identification number ⇒ In the engine compartment .
The vehicle identification number can be displayed in the Infotainment system using the button
and the and Service function buttons ⇒ Infotainment system controls and displays .

NOTICE
Always take care when driving into parking spaces with high kerbs or fixed boundaries. Objects that
protrude from the ground can damage the bumper and other components when parking the vehicle.
