Trailer Towing; Vehicles With Start/Stop System - Volkswagen T-Roc Manual

Before driving through an automatic car wash.
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 ⇒ .
