2022 VOLKSWAGEN T-ROC emergency braking

Driving through road works.
In urban areas.

WARNING
The intelligent technology of Traffic Jam Assist cannot overcome the laws of physics, and functions
only within the limits of the system. Always take care when using Traffic Jam Assist as you could
otherwise cause accidents or injuries. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the
driver.
Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
Do not use Traffic Jam Assist in urban traffic.
Do not use Traffic Jam Assist in poor visibility, on steep or winding roads, or on slippery road
surfaces e.g. on snow, ice, wet roads, loose chippings or flooded roads.
Never use Traffic Jam Assist offroad or on unsurfaced roads. Traffic Jam Assist is designed solely for
use on surfaced roads.
Traffic Jam Assist does not react to persons, animals or vehicles crossing or approaching in the same
lane.
If the speed reduction achieved by Traffic Jam Assist is insufficient, brake the vehicle immediately by
depressing the foot brake.
If the vehicle starts to roll unintentionally after the driver has been prompted to take control of the
vehicle, brake the vehicle immediately using the foot brake.
If a driver intervention prompt appears on the instrument cluster display, take control of the vehicle
immediately.
Your hands should always be on the steering wheel so that you can steer at any time. The driver is
always responsible for staying in lane.
The driver must be prepared to take control of the vehicle (by accelerating or braking) at all times.

If Traffic Jam Assist does not function as described in this chapter, do not use the system and go to a
qualified workshop.

If there is a fault in the system, visit a qualified workshop and have the system checked.
Semi-automatic vehicle control in a medical emergency (Emergency Assist)

the driver and can keep the vehicle in lane
automatically, or brake the vehicle to a standstill if required. The system can therefore actively help
to prevent an accident.
Emergency Assist is an extension of the lane keeping system (Lane Assist), and combines these
functions with the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). Please therefore read both these chapters and
observe the information about the system limits and warnings.
Description
If there is no driver activity, Emergency Assist prompts the driver to take control of the vehicle again
by visual and acoustic warnings and by braking jolts.
If the driver remains inactive, the system automatically controls the accelerator, brake and steering

When Emergency Assist is actively controlling the vehicle, the hazard warning lights are switched on
and the vehicle performs slight snaking movements within its lane to warn other road users.
The hazard warning lights can be deactivated by pressing the accelerator or brake, by making a
steering intervention or, depending on the situation, by pressing the button for the hazard warning
lights.
When Emergency Assist has been triggered, the system is not available again until the ignition has
been switched off and then back on.
Prerequisites
The lane keeping system and ACC are switched on.
The selector lever is in position D/S or in the Tiptronic gate.
The system has detected a lane marking on both the right and left sides of the vehicle Fig. 123
Switching Emergency Assist on and off
Emergency Assist is activated automatically when the lane keeping system Driving with the lane
keeping systemis switched on.

WARNING
The intelligent technology used in Emergency Assist cannot overcome the laws of physics, and
functions only within the limits of the system. The driver is always responsible for controlling the
vehicle.

Emergency Assist cannot always prevent accidents and serious injuries on its own.

is covered or moved, Emergency Assist may make unwanted braking or steering manoeuvres.
Emergency Assist does not react to persons, animals or vehicles crossing or approaching in the same
lane.

WARNING
If Emergency Assist is triggered unnecessarily, this can result in accidents and serious injuries.
If there is a malfunction in the Emergency Assist system, switch off the lane keeping system (Lane
Assist) Driving with the lane keeping system
Go to a qualified workshop and have the system checked. Volkswagen recommends using a
Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Blind Spot Monitor
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Driving with the Blind Spot Monitor
Troubleshooting
Radar sensors monitor the area behind the vehicle. The system measures the distance and
difference in speed in relation to other vehicles and uses visual signals in the exterior mirrors to
inform the driver.
System limits
Use the Blind Spot Monitor only on surfaced roads.
The Blind Spot Monitor may not always interpret the traffic correctly in the following situations:
In tight bends.
When driving in the middle of two lanes.
When road lanes are of varying width.
At road crests.
In poor weather conditions.
Where there are special roadside structures, e.g. high or offset crash barriers.

WARNING
The intelligent technology used in the Blind Spot Monitor cannot overcome the laws of physics, and
functions only within the limits of the system. Never let the extra convenience afforded by the Blind

-lying vehicle components such as the bumper, spoiler and parts of the running gear, engine or
exhaust system could be damaged. Drive carefully through dips in the road and over drive entrances,
ramps, kerbstones and other objects.

Please adhere to relevant legislation when stopping and parking your vehicle.

is switched on automatically when reverse gear is engaged or if the vehicle
rolls backwards.
With some equipment levels, Park Distance Control can also be activated automatically when driving
forwards Automatic activation when driving forwards (with some equipment levels)
Switching off Park Distance Control
Press the button.
Park Distance Control is switched off automatically when the vehicle is driven forwards at a speed of
more than 10 km/h (6 mph.
OR: the selector lever is moved to P position.
Automatic activation when driving forwards (with some equipment levels)
Park Distance Control also switches itself on automatically if the vehicle approaches an obstacle in
the front area of the vehicle when driving forwards at a speed of less than 15 km/h (9 mph).
Automatic activation can be switched on in the Infotainment system.
Automatic activation takes place only once. Renewed automatic activation is possible under the
following conditions:
Press the button.
Switch the ignition off and then back on again.
Manoeuvre braking
If the vehicle is equipped with manoeuvre braking, the manoeuvre braking function triggers
emergency braking as soon as an obstacle is detected while reversing.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the manoeuvre braking function can also trigger emergency
braking when driving forwards.
The manoeuvre braking function helps to prevent collisions. The vehicle speed must not be higher
than 10 km/h (6 mph). The manoeuvre braking function is activated or deactivated when Park
Distance Control is switched on or off. The manoeuvre braking function is inactive for five metres
after a braking operation in the same direction of travel. The manoeuvre braking function is ready
for braking again after changing gear or position. The same restrictions apply as to Park Distance
Control.
Manoeuvre braking is not active if Park Distance Control was activated automatically.
Touch the function button in the Infotainment system to switch manoeuvre braking on and off.

busy roads or across several lanes.
Always pay attention to the area around the vehicle, since cyclists and pedestrians are often not
reliably detected, for example.
The Rear Traffic Alert will not always independently bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
Brake support systems
Information on brake support systems
The vehicle is fitted with brake support systems. The systems can support the driver in critical driving
or braking situations. Brake support systems cannot overcome the limits of physics and cannot
always keep the vehicle under control in every single critical driving or braking situation. The driver is
responsible for driving safety
Driving with brake support systems
The brake support systems work when the engine is running. They do not need to be operated
separately.
The brake pedal may pulsate or noises may occur while the brake support systems are regulating.
Continue to apply the necessary amount of brake pressure. Apply the necessary pressure to the
brake pedal consistently. If necessary, steer the vehicle while the brake pedal is depressed.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
ESC helps to reduce the risk of skidding and to improve driving stability in certain driving situations

ESC is always switched on.
Traction control system (TCS)
The TCS reduces the drive output if wheelspin occurs and adapts the drive output to suit road
surface conditions Troubleshooting
hills.
With some equipment levels, the TCS can be switched off in exceptional circumstances Switching
the TCS on and off
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
The anti-lock brake system can prevent the wheels from locking when the brakes are applied up until
the point where the vehicle is nearly stationary and assists the driver in steering the vehicle and
keeping it under control Troubleshooting
Brake assist system
The brake assist system can help to reduce the stopping distance. The brake assist system reinforces
the braking force when the driver depresses the brake pedal quickly in an emergency situation.
If you reduce the pressure on the brake pedal, the brake assist system will switch off the brake
servo.

Recycling and scrapping end-of-life vehicles
Recycling end-of-life vehicles
Volkswagen has already made provision for you to recycle your vehicle in an environmentally
responsible manner. The extensive recycling systems operating in many European countries will take
back your vehicle at the end of its useful life. Once the vehicle has been recycled, a certificate of
destruction will be issued to show that the vehicle has been disposed of correctly.
Return of end-of-life vehicles is free of charge, provided that national legislation is complied with.
Further information on return and recycling of end-of-life vehicles is available from a Volkswagen
dealership.
Scrapping
The relevant safety requirements must be observed when the vehicle or its individual components,
e.g. from the airbag system and belt tensioners, are scrapped. Qualified workshops are familiar with
these regulations.
Information about vehicles with N1 approval (light commercial vehicle)
Please observe the following for vehicles used to transport goods with a maximum permitted weight
of up to 3.5 t (N1 approval in Europe):
Variants and number of seats
There are various types of N1 vehicles based on a Volkswagen passenger car. The number of seats
may be restricted to two or four.
