Airbags are passive safety features that are found in every VW. They're activated in certain types of vehicle collisions when sensors trigger their deployment in just milliseconds. You can also choose to get your VW with two additional airbags for added safety. Safe Happens.

**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 Adaptive Front Lighting System comes standard with your Tiguan's Bi-Xenon™ headlamps and actually turns the headlamp up to 15 degrees in the direction you're headed while cruising at freeway speeds. At slow speeds, AFS turns an additional bulb in the direction you're turning with the flick of the blinker.

VW uses steel reinforcements in the doors which are designed to absorb and redirect impact energy upon a side impact – basically creating a steel cage to protect passengers. Sounds good on paper. Even better on impact.

To prevent accidental shifting in a VW, your foot must be on the brake in order to shift out of neutral – in any direction. As an added safety feature to this system, the key can't be removed from the ignition unless the car is in park. Safety, safety, safety. Automatic only.

The front safety belts want nothing more than to keep you safe. It's in their DNA. Which is why the VW buckle sensor switch can detect if you're not wearing the safety belts, and will actually deploy the airbag** faster if any weight is detected on the seat. Now that's being safe.

With rain-sensing wipers, you don't have to worry about controlling the speed of the wipers in the rain, they'll take care of it for you.

Improving a driver's control out on the road has a great deal to do with being able to see what's in front of you. Or, behind, in this case. Every VW we make offers rear window defogging.

Load limiters sense how much force the safety belt is exerting on the occupant after the pretensioners have activated, and will let a little bit of safety belt line out if they detect too much force on the passenger to help reduce the potential for injuries. We’re about comfort and safety.

The front seat safety belt pretensioner is a pyrotechnic or gas operated device, which is triggered during moderate or severe impact to reduce excess slack between the front passengers and their safety belt. In Layman’s terms they tighten up if a crash happens to help keep you even safer.

Thanks to our unibody construction, inside every VW a specially reinforced safety cage is designed to help keep you safe, while the outside "crumples" around you. This is one instance you won't mind feeling caged in.

VW puts sensors in the doors, in side impact situations this is where the pressure is first detected. Sounds obvious, but not everyone does. This way, the sensors detect precisely when and where outside force is occurring, and deploy the airbags** accordingly; instead of when the whole car is sensing a "crumple." Think about it – in a crash, milliseconds can make all the difference.

Yet another upgraded safety feature VW chooses to offer standard that others don’t even offer. When you push the brake pedal, pads squeeze both sides of the disc to slow and stop the wheel. Our vented brake rotors cool better so they work better, too. To date, it’s the most effective ABS platform available. When it comes to safety we don’t mind bragging.
