Passenger Safety
Two-Stage Airbags
The airbag system reacts to unique crash
conditions by deploying the driverside and
passengerside airbags in two stages,
depending on the size of the front seat
occupants and the severity of the impact.

Advanced Airbag System
The new Jetta is equipped with the
Advanced Airbag System. This system is a
standard feature for the front passenger
seat. Based on occupant weight and
seatbelt tension, the system signals the
control module to deploy the airbag in one
of two stages. In a slow speed collision, the
two-stage airbag and the Advanced Airbag
System work together to activate only the
first stage. This provides the best protection
for a small adult. The “Passenger Airbag
OFF” light is illuminated when the
passenger seat is unoccupied.
