roof VOLKSWAGEN T-ROC 2019 Owner's Guide

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

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.

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.

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

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

Technical data
Notes on technical data
Unless otherwise indicated or separately listed, the technical data apply to the basic model. The
values may differ if additional equipment is fitted, for different model versions and for special
vehicles and in the case of country-specific vehicle specifications. All data in the official vehicle
documents take precedence over these data.
Engine
The vehicle data sticker and the official vehicle documents show which engine is installed in your
vehicle.
Weight
The values for the kerb weight in the following tables apply for the road-ready vehicle with driver
(75 kg), service fluids including fuel tank carrying 90% of its capacity and, where applicable, tools and
spare tyre ed accessories increase the stated kerb weight
and reduce the maximum permitted load accordingly.
The load comprises the weights of the following:

Performance figures
In certain vehicles with heavy duty running gear, the engine could be governed to provide a
maximum speed of 210 km/h.
The performance figures were measured without equipment which may negatively influence
performance, such as a roof carrier or mudflaps.
Gross combination weight
The specified gross combination weights are applicable only for altitudes up to 1,000 m above sea
level. The maximum gross combination weight must be reduced by approximately 10% for every
further started 1,000 m in altitude.
