OTA VOLKSWAGEN T-ROC 2022 Service Manual

If you have to drive a right-hand drive vehicle in a left-hand drive country, or vice versa, the
asymmetric dipped beam headlights may dazzle oncoming traffic. The headlights must therefore be
switched over when you travel to these countries.
With some equipment levels, the headlight alignment can be adjusted in the Infotainment system in
the Vehicle settings menu Infotainment system controls and displays
In vehicles in which the headlights cannot be switched over in the menu, masking stickers should be
applied to certain parts of the headlight lenses, or the headlights should be adjusted by a qualified
workshop. A qualified workshop can provide you with further information. Volkswagen recommends
using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.

Travel mode may be used only for a short period. Please contact a qualified workshop for a
permanent conversion. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Interior lighting
Instrument and switch lighting
The brightness of the instrument and switch lighting can be adjusted in the Infotainment system in
the Vehicle settings menu Infotainment system controls and displays
The brightness setting is automatically adjusted to the changing light conditions in the vehicle.
When the light switch is in position , a sensor will switch the dipped beam and the lighting in
the instruments and switches on and off automatically depending on the ambient brightness level.

When the light is switched off and the ignition switched on, the instrument and switch lighting
(needles and scales) is switched on. As the ambient light becomes lower, the illumination of the
scales is automatically reduced and may be switched off entirely. This function is intended to remind
the driver to switch on the dipped beam in good time, i.e. when driving through tunnels.
Interior and reading lights
Press the appropriate button or move the switch to the appropriate position:
Switch off the interior light.Switch on the interior lights.The interior lights are switched on
automatically when the vehicle is unlocked, a door is opened or the vehicle key is removed from the
ignition.Switch the reading light on or off.
Stowage compartment and luggage compartment lights
A light will be switched on and off when the stowage compartment on the front passenger side or
the boot lid is opened or closed.
Background lighting

pending on the equipment level, the background lighting provides indirect light in various areas of
the vehicle interior.
The front footwell may also be illuminated.
The brightness of the background lighting can be adjusted in the Infotainment system in the Vehicle
settings menu Infotainment system controls and displays

The lights go out when the vehicle is locked or after a delay of a few minutes when the vehicle key is
removed from the ignition lock. This prevents the 12-volt vehicle battery from discharging.

Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and therefore
change automatically when the user account changes Personalisation

The wipers will work only when the ignition is switched on and the bonnet and boot lid are closed.
Move the wiper lever to the desired position

to the windscreen, the wiper blades and the wiper motor:
The wiper lever is located in the basic position.
Snow and ice have been removed from the wiper blades and door windows.
Wiper blades that have become frozen onto the glass have been carefully loosened. Volkswagen
recommends using a de-icer spray for this.

NOTICE
Do not switch on the wipers when the window is dry. Using the wipers when the window is dry can
damage the glass.

When switched on, the wipers will temporarily be switched to the next setting down when the
vehicle is stationary.

When parking the vehicle in cold weather, it may be helpful to leave the front windscreen wipers in
the service position to make it easier to loosen the wiper blades Wiper blades

Automatic activation of the rear window wiper
The rear window wiper is switched on automatically if the windscreen wipers are switched on and
reverse gear is engaged. Automatic switch-on when reverse gear is selected can be activated and
deactivated in the Infotainment system in the Vehicle settings menu Infotainment system controls
and displays
Heated washer jets
The heating defrosts frozen washer jets. The heating output is automatically regulated depending on
the ambient temperature when the ignition is switched on. Only the jets are heated, not the hoses
that the washer fluid flows through.

WARNING
The rain/light sensor cannot always adequately detect all precipitation and activate the wipers
correspondingly.
If necessary, switch on the wipers manually in good time if the water on the windscreen restricts the
field of vision.

Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and therefore
change automatically when the user account changes

-hand exterior mirror moves to the
saved position.
The front passenger exterior mirror will move out of the position saved for reversing when the
vehicle is driven forwards faster than approximately 15 km/h (9 mph) or when the rotary knob is
moved out of position into another position.

WARNING
Injuries can be sustained if you do not take care when folding the exterior mirrors in and out.
Fold the exterior mirrors in or out only when there is no obstruction in the path of the mirror.
Always ensure that no fingers are caught between the exterior mirror and the mirror base when the
exterior mirrors are moved.

NOTICE
Always fold in exterior mirrors before using an automatic car wash.
Do not fold electrically folding exterior mirrors in or out manually as this can damage the electric
drive.

The exterior mirror heating should be switched off when it is no longer needed. If the heating is left
on, this will result in unnecessary fuel consumption.

If there is a fault, the electric exterior mirrors can be adjusted by hand by pressing on the outside of
the mirror.

Heating and air conditioning system
Heating, ventilating, cooling
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Front controls
Air recirculation mode
Seat heating
Steering wheel heating
Troubleshooting
The following systems may be installed in the vehicle
Both the manual air conditioning system and Climatronic heat, cool and dehumidify the air. It works
most effectively when the windows and the glass roof are closed. If heat has built up in the vehicle
interior, ventilating the vehicle can speed up the cooling process.
Display of activated functions
Lit up LEDs on rotary knobs and buttons indicate that the function is switched on.

WARNING
Poor visibility through the windows increases the risk of collisions and accidents, which can cause
serious injuries.
Keep all windows free from ice, snow and condensation to maintain good visibility.
Adjust the heating, air conditioning system and rear window heating so that condensation does not
form on the windows.
Only set off once all windows are clear.
Use air recirculation mode for a short period only. If the cooling system is switched off, condensation
can form on the windows very quickly in air recirculation mode and reduce visibility considerably.
