ECU VOLKSWAGEN T-ROC 2021 Owner´s Manual

There is a risk of injury if a front-facing child seat is on the front passenger seat.
Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible and adjust to its highest position to create the
largest possible distance between the child seat and the front passenger front airbag.
Move the backrest to the upright position.
Adjust the seat belt height adjuster to the highest position.
Use only child seats that have been approved by the child seat manufacturer for use on a front
passenger seat with front and side airbags.

WARNING
To help avoid injuries caused by inflation of a curtain airbag or side airbag:
Ensure that no children are seated within the airbag deployment zones ⇒ Airbag system .
Do not place any objects in the side airbag deployment zones.
Securing systems
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Different countries use different securing systems for safely fitting child seats in the vehicle.
Overview of securing systems
ISOFIX: ISOFIX is a standardised securing system for fitting child seats in the vehicle quickly and
safely. The ISOFIX attachment system creates a rigid connection between the child seat and the
vehicle body.
Compatible child seats have two rigid attachment arms that engage in ISOFIX attachment points at
the bottom of the backrest (on the outer rear seats). The ISOFIX securing system as described here is
specific to Europe ⇒ Securing a child seat with ISOFIX . An upper strap (top tether) and/or support
foot may sometimes have to be used in addition to the ISOFIX anchor points described above.
Three-point automatic seat belt. It is preferable to secure child seats using the ISOFIX system, if
available, rather than with a three-point automatic seat belt ⇒ Securing child seats with a seat belt .
Additional securing points:
Recommended child seat securing systems
Volkswagen recommends that child seats are secured as follows:
Infant carrier or rear-facing child seat: ISOFIX and support foot.
Front-facing child seat: ISOFIX and top tether and possibly also support foot.

WARNING

Incorrect use of the support foot can cause severe or fatal injuries.
Ensure that the support foot is always correctly and safely installed.

Installing child seats with ISOFIX/i-Size
Observe and follow the instructions ⇒ Fitting and using child seats .
Pull on both sides of the child seat to check whether the seat has clicked properly into place.
Securing child seats with a seat belt
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
If you want to fit a child seat from the "universal" (u) approval category in your vehicle, you must
first ensure that it is approved for the seat position in question. Important information is given on
the orange ECE approval label on the child seat. Installation options are shown in the table below.
Securing a child seat with a seat belt
Observe and follow the instructions ⇒ Fitting and using child seats .
Fasten the seat belt and guide it through the child seat as described in the child seat manufacturer's
instructions.
Ensure that the seat belt is not twisted.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, the high-visibility waistcoat may be located in a stowage
compartment in the front door trim or in the stowage compartment on the front passenger side
⇒ Driver door , ⇒ Front passenger side .
The high-visibility waistcoat must comply with legal requirements.
Fire extinguisher
Depending on the equipment, a fire extinguisher may be located in a holder in the footwell under
the front passenger seat.
The fire extinguisher must meet legal requirements, be ready for use at all times and be checked on
a regular basis (see inspection seal on the fire extinguisher).

WARNING
In the event of a sudden driving or braking manoeuvre or accident, loose objects could be flung
though the vehicle and cause severe injuries.
Always secure the first-aid kit, warning triangle and fire extinguisher safely in the holders in the
vehicle.
Stow the high-visibility waistcoat in the stowage compartments so that it can be easily accessed.
Information call, breakdown call and emergency call service

Fig. 49 In the roof console: control for voice services.
With some equipment levels, a control may be installed in the roof console. Pressing the buttons ,
and ⇒ Fig. 49  enables you to access the following voice services: information call,
breakdown call and emergency call service.
The required connection is established by a factory-fitted control unit. A connection to a telephone
call centre will be established when you initiate one of the voice services.
Indicator lamp
The control is equipped with an indicator lamp ⇒ Fig. 49  (arrow). This displays the following
statuses:
Off: all voice services are deactivated.
Flashing red for approx. 20 seconds after the ignition is switched on: at least one voice service is
disabled.

Fig. 68 On the steering wheel: 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock position.
Adjust the steering wheel position before setting off and only when the vehicle is stationary ⇒ .
Push down the lever ⇒ Fig. 67① .
Adjust the steering wheel so that you can hold it with both hands at its circumference at the 9
o'clock and 3 o'clock positions with your arms slightly bent ⇒ Fig. 68 .
Push the lever up firmly until it is flush with the steering column trim ⇒ .

WARNING
Incorrect use of the steering column position adjustment and incorrect adjustment of the steering
wheel can cause serious or fatal injuries.
After adjusting the steering column, always move lever ⇒ Fig. 67①  up so that it engages securely.
This prevents the steering column from moving spontaneously while the vehicle is in motion.
Never adjust the steering wheel when the vehicle is in motion. If you determine that a readjustment
is necessary when driving, stop the vehicle safely and adjust the steering wheel to the correct
position.
The steering wheel must always point towards the chest and not towards the face. This ensures that
the driver front airbag provides maximum protection in the event of an accident.
While driving, always keep both hands on the outside of the steering wheel at the 9 o'clock and 3
o'clock positions⇒ Fig. 68 . This reduces the risk of injury if the driver front airbag is triggered.
Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position, or in any other manner, e.g. at the hub of
the steering wheel. If the driver front airbag is triggered, you could sustain serious injuries to the
arms, hands and head.
