Safety
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
The TPMS helps
monitor tire pressure and alerts you when it is too low. Properly
infl ated tires greatly increase safety by helping create better
stability, handling, and braking in almost all situations.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC).
ESC helps prevent oversteer
or understeer during an evasive maneuver by applying
corrective forces to each of the wheels. In other words, it helps
you maintain control when you need it most.
Surrounded by safety.
In addition to airbags,* every Golf has a
specially reinforced safety cage complete with anti-intrusion side
beams and thermo-formed B-pillars, designed to help protect
you in the event of a collision. Surrounding that are crumple
zones, which provide space and material to help cushion and
absorb the impact while the safety cage insulates you.
ABS and HBA.
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps to
keep the brakes from locking up during sudden stops and
helps you retain control over the steering during emergency
braking. Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) works with ABS to help
ensure that you get the maximum braking power from the
brake system.
Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS).
After the airbags*
have deployed in a collision, the ICRS automatically unlocks
all doors, disables the fuel pump, and turns on the hazard
lights.** That’s why we call it intelligent.
2012 IIHS Top Safety Pick.
The Golf 4-Door model is one of
the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s Top Safety Picks.
†
Actually, it’s one of nine 2012 Volkswagen models to get their
top award. That means all nine cars scored the highest rating in
all four qualifying tests. That’s 36 instances of superior safety.
You know that German engineering you admire under the hood? It’s actually
throughout the entire car. There are more than a dozen safety features specifi cally
designed to help you prevent a collision. And even more to help protect you in the
event of one. So no matter what happens, we’ll do our best to help keep you safe.
This is a dramatization and does not depict what will happen in a collision. All airbags will not infl ate in real-world crashes, and if multiple airbags do deploy, they will be in various stages of infl ating/defl ating and will never all be infl ated at the same
time. *Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy under all crash circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age. **The Intelligent Crash Response
System (ICRS) will only activate in a collision where the airbags deploy or safety belt pretensioners activate. Not all collisions cause airbags to deploy or safety belt pretensioners to activate.
†
“Top Safety Pick” based on 31 mph side-impact crash test,
40 mph frontal-offset crash test, 20 mph rear-impact test, roof strength testing, and the availability of ESC. Test performed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. For details, visit www.iihs.org. See vw.com for more information on safety features.
