Use Innovation and Attentiveness to Reduce Vehicle Collision Potential

Volkswagen has worked hard to design a vehicle that is enjoyable to drive, creating an excellent experience no matter if you are on your daily commute or long road trip.  Innovation is part of the key to this impressive and comfortable driving experience.  While some innovations focus on comfort and entertainment, perhaps some of the most important focus on safety.  Our selection of driver-assistance features provides an innovative approach to reaching your destination with peace-of-mind.  

The available Forward Collision Warning System, available on many VW models, can alert you to a potential collision by using sensors to monitor the traffic in front of you.  Part of this amazing system is Autonomous Emergency Braking which can actually brake the vehicle if a collision is imminent.  Even the most attentive drivers can be caught off-guard by a vehicle in the blind spot.  Our available Blind Spot Monitor can help by sensing vehicles in the next lane when you are attempting a lane change.  The system can alert you to the danger.  Drifting into another lane can be a concern.  So our available Lane Departure Warning in the Lane Assist can sense this issue and alert if there is not a turn signal activated.  On many models, the system can even help steer the vehicle back into the lane of travel.  

These tools are helpful but are no substitute for attentive driving.  Preventing a collision with another vehicle can be assisted with helpful tips such as these.  Keeping careful attention on the vehicles in front of you is essential.  Watch for a vehicle travelling toward you in your lane and be prepared to pull to roadside if needed to prevent a head-on collision.  Be aware of not only the vehicle in front of your but the traffic in front of that vehicle.  Follow at a safe distance to allow you to brake suddenly if needed to avoid a rear-end collision.  Though you can't control how closely or carefully a car is following you, reduce the chance of being hit from behind by slowing down gradually when possible and signaling your intentions for turning.  When approaching an intersection, proceed with caution even if you have the right-of-way.  At a four-way stop, be sure the other vehicles stopped are going to wait for you even if it is your turn to proceed.  It is better to let someone else go than to have to deal with vehicle repairs!
