VOLKSWAGEN T-ROC 2021 Owner´s Manual

Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with unprotected fingers. When switched on, the heat of the
bulb would cause the remaining fingerprint to evaporate and be deposited on the reflector. This will
impair the light output of the headlight.

After changing a bulb, check to ensure that the bulb is working properly. If the bulb is not working
properly, the bulb may not have been inserted properly, may have failed again, or the connector
may have been fitted incorrectly.

Any time you change a bulb at the front of the vehicle, the headlight settings should be checked by a
qualified workshop.

WARNING
Ignoring any of the items on this important safety checklist can lead to accidents and severe injuries.


NOTICE
Always take care when removing or fitting lights to prevent damage to the paintwork or to other
vehicle parts.

Changing fuses
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Fuses in the dash panel 

⇒ Fuses in the engine compartment 
⇒ Fuse table for fuses in the dash panel 
⇒ Fuse tables for fuses in the engine compartment 
⇒ Changing a blown fuse 
At the time of publication we are unable to provide an complete overview of the locations of the
fuses for the electrical consumers. This is because the vehicle is under constant development,
because fuses are assigned differently according to the vehicle equipment level and because several
electrical consumers may use a single fuse. You can obtain more information about the fuse
assignment from a Volkswagen dealership.
Several electrical consumers can share a single fuse. Conversely, a single consumer could have more
than one fuse.
Therefore fuses should only be replaced when the cause of the fault has been rectified. If a new fuse
blows shortly after fitting, have the electrical system checked by a qualified workshop.

WARNING
High voltages in the electrical system can cause electric shocks, serious burns and death.



WARNING
Using unsuitable or repaired fuses and bridging an electrical circuit without fuses can cause a fire
and serious injuries.
