Get Do-it-yourself -> Fuses Guide for Volkswagen T-Roc SUV First Generation (2017-2025)

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 depending on 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 suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised repairer.

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.

1. If a new fuse blows again shortly after fitting, have the electrical system checked by a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen

recommends using an authorised repairer.

WARNING

The high voltage in the electrical system can cause electric shocks and serious burns. Contact with the electrical wiring of the ignition

system can cause serious or fatal injuries.

● Never touch the electrical wiring of the ignition system.

WARNING

Using unsuitable fuses, repairing fuses and bridging an electrical circuit without fuses can cause serious damage or a fire in the

vehicle. This can result in serious or fatal injuries.

● Replace fuses only with fuses with the same rating and size. Make sure that the colour and markings are identical to the defective

fuse.

● Never repair fuses.

● Never use a metal strip, paper clip or similar objects to replace a fuse.

NOTICE

If a fuse is replaced when the ignition is switched on, the engine is running, lights are switched on or when other electrical

consumers are switched on, this can damage the electrical system.

● Switch off the engine and switch off the lights and other electrical consumers.

● Make sure that the engine cannot be started when changing a fuse.

NOTICE

Damage can also be caused at other locations in the electrical system if a fuse is replaced with a fuse that has a higher rating.

● Never replace a fuse with a fuse that has a higher rating.

NOTICE

Dirt and moisture in the fuse boxes can damage the electrical system.

● Protect open fuse boxes against the ingress of dirt and moisture.

● Avoid causing short circuits in the electrical system.

● Check that the covers of the fuse boxes are closed tight again and are not damaged.

There are also other fuses in the vehicle. These should be changed only by a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen

recommends using an authorised repairer.

Opening the fuse box in the bonnet space

Fuse box cover.

In some vehicles, a pair of plastic grippers for removing fuses is located on the inside of the cover of the fuse box or on the fuse carrier.

Removing the cover

1. Open the bonnet.

2. To unlock the fuse box cover, push the catches in the direction of the arrow → Fig. 1 1 .

3. Lift off the cover.

Installing the cover

1. Place the cover on the fuse box.

2. Press the cover down until the cover audibly engages into position on both sides.

The overview shows the fuse locations of the electrical consumers relevant for the driver. The first column in the overview contains the

location. The other columns contain the amp rating, the fuse type and the electrical consumer protected by the fuse.

Depending on country and on the equipment of your vehicle, the fuse numbers and positions may differ to those given in the overview.

If necessary, ask a suitably qualified workshop for the exact fuse layout. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised Volkswagen

repairer.

Removing the cover

1. Open the glove box and empty if necessary.

2. Push restrictor upwards into the opening of the holder and pull out to the side in the direction of the arrow → Fig. 2 1 .

3. Press the stop pin in the direction of the arrow and at the same time open the glove box further → Fig. 2 2 .

Installing the cover

1. Move glove box into position.

2. Insert the restrictor into the opening in the holder and slide upwards in the opposite direction to the arrow until it engages

→ Fig. 2 1 .

3. Carefully push the glove box forwards past the resistance of the catches → Fig. 2 2 .

Preparations

1. Switch off the ignition, the lights and all electrical consumers.

Detecting a blown fuse

—If a flat blade fuse (ATO , MINI ) has blown, this can be recognised from the top and side through the transparent housing due to the

melted metal strip → Fig. 1

Changing fuses

Plastic grippers for pulling out and inserting a fuse

(illustration).

1. If present, take the plastic grippers out of the fuse box or the cover of the respective fuse box → Fig. 2.

2. Push the plastic grippers clip suitable for the fuse type onto the fuse from the top or the side.

3. Remove the fuse.

4. If the fuse has blown, replace it with a new fuse with the same rating (same colour and same markings) and same size →

5. Once the new fuse has been inserted, put the plastic grippers back in the cover.

6. Insert the cover again or close the fuse box cover.

.

NOTICE

You can damage another location in the electrical system by using a fuse with a higher amp rating.

● Never replace a fuse with a fuse that has a higher rating.

For technical reasons, your vehicle may not be push-started → . If the engine cannot be started because the 12-volt vehicle battery

is flat, the discharged battery can be connected to the 12-volt battery of another vehicle to start the engine.

In vehicles with a 12-volt vehicle battery in the vehicle interior or luggage compartment, the jump leads must always be connected to

the jump-start connection points in the bonnet space.

WARNING

Using the jump leads incorrectly or performing the jump start procedure incorrectly can cause the 12-volt vehicle battery to explode.

This can result in serious injuries.

● Always read and observe the warnings and safety information before carrying out any kind of work on the 12-volt vehicle battery

(→ 12-volt vehicle battery).

● Never confuse the positive battery terminal with the negative battery terminal.

● Never perform jump starting on a vehicle with a frozen or thawed 12-volt vehicle battery.

WARNING

A highly explosive mixture of gases is given off when the 12-volt vehicle battery is jump started. The explosive gas can ignite due to

sparks when carrying out jump starting. This can result in serious injuries.
