Get Electrical consumers Guide for Volkswagen T-Roc SUV First Generation (2017-2025)

Electrical equipment can be connected to the sockets in the vehicle.

The 12-volt socket will work only when the ignition is switched on.

WARNING

Improper use of the sockets and connected electrical accessories can cause fires and serious or fatal injuries.

● Switch off electrical devices immediately and disconnect them from the power supply if the electrical devices become too warm.

● Please note that sockets and devices connected to them can also be used when the ignition is switched off, e.g. by children in the

vehicle.

NOTICE

Unsuitable, non-approved or incorrectly connected electrical devices can cause damage to the vehicle and the electronic

components.

● Never connect electrical devices that supply electric power, such as solar panels or a battery charger, to the 12-volt socket to

charge the 12-volt vehicle battery.

● Use only electrical devices that have been approved in accordance with current guidelines concerning electromagnetic

compatibility.

● Do not use faulty devices.

● In order to avoid damage due to voltage fluctuations, always switch off any electrical devices before switching the ignition on or

off and before starting the engine.

● Observe the operating instructions of the electrical devices.

NOTICE

The vehicle’s electrical system can be damaged if the maximum power output is exceeded.

● Never connect electrical devices requiring more than the rated power to a 12-volt socket.

Using electrical consumers with the engine switched off and the ignition switched on will drain the 12-volt battery.

With some equipment levels, unshielded devices can cause interference with the Infotainment system and vehicle electronics.

The maximum power of the sockets must not be exceeded. The power consumption of the external devices is specified on their type

plates.

12-volt socket

In the lower part of the centre console: fold-open 12-volt

socket (illustration).

The continuous power of all 12-volt sockets in the vehicle is 120 W in total (→ Sockets).

The maximum power of a 12-volt socket in the vehicle is a total of 180 W when the engine is running.

NOTICE

The fuse can blow as a result of extended operation of the 12-volt sockets at maximum power.

● Never use the 12-volt sockets at maximum power for longer than 10 minutes.

● Always use only one 12-volt socket with maximum power.

NOTICE

If two or more 12-volt sockets are used simultaneously, the total power consumption of the connected electrical accessories must

not exceed 190 W.

● Always use only one 12-volt socket with maximum power.

Mobile devices can be charged in the vehicle either via the installed USB-C connections or wirelessly.

Charging via the USB-C ports

The following USB-C ports may be available in the vehicle:

Identification of a USB connection for data transfer and charging.

Identification of a USB connection suitable only for charging.

Available charging capacity

Voltages of up to 20 V are made available via the USB port. These voltages permit a charging capacity of up to 45 W.

Depending on equipment, the following charging profiles can be supported by the USB connections:

— Legacy charging (2.5 W).

—BC1.2 (7.5 W).

—USB-C charging (15 W).

—USB power delivery (up to 45 W).

The charging capacity actually tapped by the connected device depends on the following:

— Supported charging profiles.

—Charge level of the device.

—Device temperature.

—Charging cables used.

In the case of double USB ports, the charging capacity can be split between both ports.

Wireless charging function

In the centre console: lining mat for the wireless charging

function (illustration).

The wireless charging function is dependent on the equipment level and is not available in all countries.

The wireless charging function enables wireless energy transmission by electromagnetic induction over a short distance for Qi-certified

mobile telephones.

The lining mat with shelf area for the wireless charging function is located in the area of the centre console and is designed for only

one Qi-certified mobile telephone → Fig. 1.

The charging capacity is 15 W.

Qi standard

The Qi standard enables wireless charging of suitable Qi-certified mobile telephones. Consult the operating instructions for the mobile

telephone to find out if it is compatible with the Qi standard. An overview of Qi-certified mobile telephones can be found at the

following external link of Wireless Power Consortium, Inc.:

https://www.wirelesspowerconsortium.com/products

Volkswagen AG does not assume any liability for the completeness and correctness of this list. The manufacturer of the mobile

telephone can provide further information on compatibility, if necessary.

There may be charging restrictions with mobile telephones that are not Qi-certified.

The Qi symbol is displayed on the Infotainment system to indicate the wireless charging status.

Charging a mobile telephone wirelessly

Prerequisite

The optimum operating temperature in the vehicle for wireless charging is between -40°C and +35°C (around -40°F to +95°F).

A suitable mobile telephone that is not larger than the marked shelf area and is Qi-certified.

1. Remove any foreign objects from the stowage compartment before charging →

2. After removing the protective cover and any other foreign material, place the mobile telephone in the centre of the shelf area

with the display facing upwards and so that its entire surface is flat on the area.

The charging process starts automatically.

3. Follow the operating instructions for the mobile telephone.

The Infotainment system will provide information about the start of the charging operation and, where applicable, about any foreign

objects with metallic components that are detected in the stowage compartment.

Depending on equipment, the charging function can be deactivated manually in the Infotainment system.

If the ambient temperature in the vehicle is outside the temperature range of -40°C to +35°C (around -40°F to +95°F), the

charging process may be interrupted or the charging time extended.

Wireless charging will function normally again as soon as the ambient temperature in the vehicle is within the temperature range.

Meaning of the Qi symbols

The white Qi symbol indicates that the mobile telephone is being charged.

The red Qi symbol indicates that wireless charging is not possible.

Depending on equipment, it is possible to tap the Qi symbol for explanations on the status and to switch on wireless charging if

necessary.

WARNING

Notifications on the mobile telephone display can distract the driver. This can lead to an accident and cause serious or fatal injuries.

● If the shelf has a cover, always keep the cover closed while driving.
