What are the hidden features of the Volkswagen T-Roc?

Volkswagen T-Roc's one-touch window lift can be matched with the key to achieve remote control long-press of the lock button to close all four door windows, including the sunroof. Long-pressing the unlock button will automatically open all four door windows, including the sunroof. This feature is quite useful in hot summers. You can also adjust the unlock horn to sound once and the lock horn to sound twice. The number of flashes for the hazard lights can also be adjusted among other hidden features. Below are the specific details: 1. Interior: The T-Roc still features the familiar Volkswagen family design style, with a conventional T-shaped layout for the dashboard, focusing mainly on simplicity and practicality. The decorative panel spanning the dashboard can be customized with individual color options, meeting the personalized needs of different consumers. The 8-inch central control screen supports Apple CarPlay and Baidu CarLife, with fine display and sensitive touch controls, making it simple and convenient to use without much difficulty. 2. Powertrain: (1) The T-Roc offers two engine options: 1.2T and 1.4T. The 1.2T (200TSI) engine has a maximum power of 85kW (116PS), paired with a 5-speed manual transmission; (2) The 1.4T low-power version (230TSI) engine has a maximum power of 96kW (131PS), paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission; (3) The 1.4T high-power version (280TSI) engine has a maximum power of 110kW (150PS), paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and offers four-wheel-drive models equipped with the 4MOTION system.

After driving the T-Roc for almost three years, I've discovered many practical hidden features. Remember that holding down the lock button can automatically roll up the windows and close the sunroof, saving you the hassle of running back to the car to close them in summer. After turning off the engine and removing the key, the steering wheel locks itself, which is quite thoughtful for anti-theft. When adjusting the mirrors, if you switch to the right mirror position while reversing, it automatically tilts down to show the ground, preventing wheel rim scratches during roadside parking. The rearview mirror also has an anti-glare feature at night, automatically dimming when dazzled by the high beams of the car behind. The child safety lock is located in a recess on the side of the rear door; turning it with a key prevents the door from being opened from the outside. A little-known trick for replacing wiper blades is to lift them up by pressing the wiper lever immediately after turning off the engine. You can also permanently disable the auto start-stop feature by tweaking a hidden setting, saving you from turning it off every time you start the car. By the way, pressing the remote unlock button once opens only the driver's door, and pressing it twice unlocks all doors, which feels safer for women picking up their car at night.

I discovered several thoughtful designs in my Tharu. The anti-glare rearview mirror is automatic, so even when driving on the highway at night with high beams from behind, it doesn't blind me. The right mirror tilting down when reversing is especially practical, preventing wheel scratches during roadside parking. The ambient lighting offers 30 adjustable colors, hidden in the infotainment screen—many owners haven't even found it. The rear child lock is quite concealed, requiring a mechanical key to turn in a slot on the door edge. The wiper maintenance mode activates by flicking the wiper stalk immediately after turning off the engine, making blade replacement easier. The turn signal's light tap (default 5 flashes) can be reprogrammed to 3 or 7 flashes. The single-door unlock feature opens only the driver's door with one press, preventing unwanted door pulls in parking lots at night. Most useful is holding the key fob for 3 seconds to close all windows—a lifesaver when forgetting to shut the sunroof in the rain.

The Volkswagen T-Roc's infotainment system hides quite a few practical Easter eggs. In the central control's vehicle settings menu, under the window switches option, you can set comfort opening—holding the unlock button lowers all four windows, perfect for quickly cooling down the car in summer. The auto-dipping mirror when reversing only triggers when the right turn signal is on, giving a clear view of the right wheel position. The wiper maintenance mode isn't mentioned in the manual: flick the wiper stalk downward within two seconds after turning off the engine, and the wipers will stop in the middle of the windshield. To permanently disable the auto start-stop function requires coding, but be aware this may affect the start-stop battery's lifespan. The instrument cluster hides a sporty gauge function—when powering on, the needles sweep all the way around for a cool effect. Using a 5053 cable, you can also change the turn signal from five flashes to three with a light tap. The tire pressure monitoring reset is done by long-pressing the glovebox button for three seconds—remember to do this after patching a tire.
