Volkswagen Pedestrian Monitoring Provides Improved View For Driver

Even the most capable drivers can use a bit of assistance sometimes.  That is why Volkswagen has created its impressive selection of driver-assistance technologies.  These features are meant to enhance the driver's natural ability rather than replace it.  The VW Pedestrian Monitoring technology, part of the Front Assist system, is one of those innovative features.  The Pedestrian Monitoring system is meant to help the driver be aware of others on the road, especially pedestrian traffic which might be easily missed otherwise.

This system uses a small radar tucked behind the Volkswagen emblem on the vehicle's front to sweep the area in front of the vehicle.  It can monitor about 35 degrees and up to approximately 400 feet ahead.  The data collected by the radar is analyzed for possible pedestrian activity that could create a danger.  If the vehicle is traveling at less than 18.6 mph, the system can apply the brakes to slow or even stop.  At speeds of 18.6 mph up to 40 mph, the system will provide audible and visual alerts then can brake if the driver has not responded to alerts.  The system will not operate if the vehicle is traveling faster than 40 mph.  This system can not effectively work in some conditions and should not be considered a replacement for attentive driving.

Visit Emich Volkswagen in Denver and let us tell you more about this and the many other driver-assistance technologies on the VW model lineup.  Front Assist with Pedestrian Monitoring is currently available on almost all 2019 models, excluding the Beetle, Jetta, and Passat.  In fact, this exciting feature is standard on the VW Arteon, Atlas, Golf, Golf R, and Golf Alltrack models.  It is anticipated that it will be standard on almost all VW models by 2022.

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!

Visit Emich Volkswagen in Denver to learn more about the many safety and driver-assistance technologies available on our impressive line-up!  Get ready for your summer adventures with a new VW that can provide you with a more enjoyable and less stressful drive.
