VW Tiguan Standard Safety Features
Volkswagen puts a lot of thought and expert engineering into ensuring the VW Tiguan is one of the safest models on the market, and it starts with the safety cage.
In the front and rear of this model, advanced crumple zones have been added to help absorb the energy that accompanies a collision. If this happens, the rigid safety cage distributes that energy away from the driver and passengers to ensure everyone inside is safe.
In the case of a collision, the Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS) will step in. As soon as the airbags deploy, this system will turn off your fuel pump, unlock your doors, and activate the hazard lights, so you can focus on making sure you and your passengers are safe.
The safety features of the VW Tiguan don’t end there. Other helpful passive and active safety systems can be found on every trim level to further boost your assurance.
- Advanced airbag system, including front and side curtain airbags
- LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) child seat anchor points
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
- Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution (EBD), and Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA)
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR)
Intelligent Driving Aids
Safety in the Volkswagen Tiguan is advanced even further with the addition of driver-assistive technologies. These systems, utilizing cameras, sensors, and radar, keep you more aware on the road and even help prevent collisions before they happen.
- Pedestrian Monitoring: If a person is crossing in front of your vehicle, you’ll be notified to stop the car. If you can’t, this system can automatically apply the brakes.
- Blind Spot Monitor: This system will let you know when someone is in your blind spot when you’re attempting to change lanes. Plus, it can counter-steer for you to keep you in your lane until it’s safe to change lanes again.
- High Beam Control: When it’s dark, this driving aid will automatically turn on your high beams. If a car is coming toward you, it will then dim the lights until they pass, keeping everyone on the road a little safer.
Other standard and available driver-assistive technologies include:
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
- Lane Keeping System
- Overhead View Camera
- Park Distance Control with Maneuver Braking
- Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking
- Rear Traffic Alert
