Volkswagen Dealership Top Picks: The 6 Best Volkswagen Safety Features

1. Active Blind Spot Monitor

This system uses side and rear sensors to continuously monitor your blind spots and alert you when a vehicle enters them. When a vehicle is detected in your blind spot, the system can apply gentle counter-steering to help you avoid a potential collision.

2. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Using front-facing camera and radar technology, ACC goes beyond standard cruise control by maintaining a set distance from the vehicle ahead instead of just holding a fixed speed. Drivers can set their preferred following distance, and the system’s radar sensors will monitor the speed and proximity of the vehicle ahead to keep that distance.

If the leading vehicle slows down, ACC automatically reduces the VW’s speed to maintain the pre-set following distance. In Volkswagens equipped with ACC Stop and Go, the vehicle can come to a complete stop and resume driving on its own. 

3. Front Assist

Front Assist uses radars and cameras on your Volkswagen’s front end to help prevent front-end collisions, one of the most common types of accidents. The advanced sensors in this safety system can detect impending danger early and are also capable of spotting smaller objects like pedestrians and cyclists. Front Assist includes automatic emergency braking that activates when the driver is slow to respond or when a collision is unavoidable.

4. Lane Assist

This system helps drivers stay in their lane by using cameras to monitor lane markings. If the VW’s tire crosses over the lines, the system alerts the driver and can provide steering assistance to correct the drift.

5. Rear Traffic Alert

Rear Traffic Alert makes backing out of parking lots or onto busy roads safer by monitoring the area behind your Volkswagen and providing both audio and visual warnings when cross traffic is detected. If the driver doesn’t respond to the warning in time, the system will automatically apply the brakes.

6. Travel Assist

This advanced safety system keeps your VW centered in its lane, maintains a safe distance from other vehicles, and ensures you’re traveling at the posted speed limit. This program uses Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, automatic braking and acceleration, and even steering assistance to provide an autonomous driving experience that feels straight from the future. The system is intelligent enough to learn your unique driving style and adjust its drive accordingly.
