Volkswagen Safety System Highlights

Front Assist

Front Assist offers a variety of features to ensure you have every possible opportunity to avoid or mitigate a collision. Forward Collision Warning with Pedestrian Monitoring alerts you to possible collisions by emitting an audible and visual alert. Autonomous Emergency Braking increases the brake sensitivity to help you stop quickly and can even be applied automatically. 

Blind Spot Monitor uses these same sensors to identify vehicles traveling in your blind spots. This feature will alert you of a potential collision by activating an indicator light on your side mirror. If no response is detected, Autonomous Emergency Braking can be automatically activated.

Parking Steering Assistant (Park Assist)

Park Assist utilizes sensors to identify a parallel or perpendicular parking spot that can accommodate the size of your car. Once a spot is identified, remove your hands from the wheel as the Volkswagen carefully steers itself into the parking space. Just follow the prompts to accelerate, brake, and shift for a perfect parking job every time.

Lane Departure Warning (Lane Assist)

With Lane Departure Warning, your Volkswagen is equipped to read lane markings and discern if you begin to drift unintentionally into another lane. If the sensors determine you may be drifting and the turn signals aren’t activated, the system will gently countersteer you safely back to your lane. Certain Volkswagen models even provide a warning vibration in the steering wheel to prompt you to return to your lane.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Take your foot off the brake and enjoy an afternoon cruise down the highway with Adaptive Cruise Control. Rather than constantly having to brake and reset the speed as traffic slows, Adaptive Cruise Control adjusts your speed to maintain a safe distance behind the car ahead of you and will return to the preset speed once traffic gets moving again.
