suspension VOLKSWAGEN T-ROC 2020 Owners Manual

Check the tyres, suspension struts and axles for damage and remove dirt, stones and other foreign
bodies from the tyre tread.

Inspect the vehicle underbody and remove all items that are jammed in the brake system, on the
wheels, in the running gear, in the exhaust system and in the engine, such as branches, leaves or
pieces of wood . If you see any damage or leaks, take your vehicle to a qualified workshop or seek
expert assistance.

Clean heavy soiling from the radiator grille and the vehicle underbody Vehicle care.

Check the engine compartment to see if any dirt is affecting engine operation In the engine
compartment.

Switch on TCS again Brake support systems.

WARNING
Objects caught underneath the vehicle underbody pose a danger. The vehicle underbody must
always be examined for trapped objects after every journey offroad.
Never drive if objects are trapped in the underbody, brake system, wheels, running gear, exhaust
system and engine.
Inflammable materials, e.g. dry leaves, could ignite on hot vehicle components. A fire can cause
serious injuries.
Trapped objects could damage the fuel lines, brake system, seals and other running gear
components. This could cause you to lose control of your vehicle and cause accidents.

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:

wheels can spin even when brake support systems are active, and this can lead to a loss of control of
the vehicle.

WARNING
The effectiveness of ESC can be reduced considerably if other components and systems which affect
driving dynamics are not serviced properly or are not functioning properly. This also applies, but not
exclusively, to the brakes, tyres and other named systems.
Please always bear in mind that modifications and changes to the vehicle can affect the way brake
support systems operate.
Alterations to the suspension or the use of non-approved wheel and tyre combinations can affect
the function of brake support systems and reduce their effectiveness.
Suitable tyres support the effectiveness of ESC.

WARNING
Driving without the brake servo can considerably increase the braking distance and thus cause
accidents and serious injuries.
Never switch the engine or ignition off while the vehicle is in motion.
If the brake servo does not function or the vehicle is being towed, the brake pedal will have to be
depressed more forcefully as the braking distance will be increased due to the lack of assistance for
the brake system.
Switching the TCS on and off
Switch off the traction control system (TCS) if the vehicle does not have sufficient traction:
When driving in deep snow or on loose surfaces.
When rocking the vehicle free if it is stuck.
Then switch on TCS again.
Switching TCS on and off
TCS can be switched off and on in the Infotainment system Infotainment system controls and
displays
When the TCS is switched off, the yellow indicator lamp lights up on the instrument cluster
display.
As soon as the TCS starts regulating, the indicator lamp flashes yellow.
Troubleshooting

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
cause the airbag system to function differently and increase the risk of serious or fatal injuries in the
event of an accident.
