Driver Assistance: A helping hand, where you need it
Park Assist Plus
The available Park Assist Plus feature puts into perspective the “will my car fit” debate when you come across the perfect parking spot. Not only can it sense the size of a space, but it will also help you do the parking, from start to finish, as you supervise. Parallel, perpendicular, or reversing—Park Assist Plus can help with them all.*
Light Assist
When driving at 18 mph or faster and your surroundings get dark, the Light Assist driver assistance feature turns on to help make sure the road ahead is lit, and when your speed slows to 12 mph, it turns off. You can set the high beams into “auto” mode, so they’ll automatically activate when there’s low light, and turn off when there’s an oncoming vehicle, or you enter an area that’s well lit by the environment or by traffic conditions.*
Park Distance Control
Park Distance Control helps take the guess work out of parking your car, while Maneuver Braking helps apply the brake automatically to help mitigate the chance of a collision with stationary objects while reversing into a spot. With Park Distance Control’s audio beeps and visual support, you’ll know if you’re getting too close to detected obstacles in front of or behind your car. It’ll also share additional information on your display, so you can see what’s behind your car as you reverse within a parking spot.*
Dynamic Road Sign Display
From traffic signs to speed limits, when you need a reminder about the signs on the road, Dynamic Road Sign Display helps share the information you want. It also features warnings for speed, restricted traffic zones and more, so you can remain focused on the road ahead.*
myVW app
There's more to your Volkswagen when you download the myVW
mobile app*.
Service & Maintenance
Caring for your vehicle is easier with the myVW app. Get maintenance alerts*, recall and campaign notices, service offers and convenient scheduling with your preferred VW Dealer. After service, see your history and receipts right in the app. And with the myVW app, Roadside Assistance* is just a click away.
Help & Support
Learn all about your Volkswagen vehicle with model-specific video playlists and a Virtual Assistant to help answer pressing questions on-the-fly. In the event of an illuminated warning light, simply use the dashboard indicator light scanner to see if any action is needed.
Shop
Want more out of your experience? Take advantage of special offers, subscribe to add-on features like Wi-Fi Hotspot* or Premium Speech*, and get decked out in DriverGear—the official VW swag.
Personalization
myVW your way. Name your Volkswagen, add users, set your communication preferences, see your activity and more.
Active Vehicle Coverages
Be in-the-know and don't miss out on your included Vehicle Coverages. With myVW, stay informed of active coverages and their parameters, like New or CPO Limited Warranties, Roadside Assistance*, Care Maintenance*, and more so you can take advantage before they expire.
SAFETY
A lot goes in before you do
Safety is a core value to us. And while we can’t predict everything you might encounter, we can and do spend long hours trying to help you prepare for it.
Safety is a core value to us. And while we can’t predict everything you might encounter, we can and do spend long hours trying to help you prepare for it.
Rear View Camera System. Stay focused.
Benefit from the view of a wide lens while you’re reversing. It can help you see obstacles when backing up. It's a little extra help where you want it.
Safety Cell
We’ve got a firm attitude about safety.
Front and rear crumple zones help absorb crash energy, while a rigid safety cell helps distribute forces away from the driver and passengers.
Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS)* Intelligent by design.
In the event of a collision that deploys the airbags*, the ICRS can, in certain circumstances, turn off the fuel pump, turn on the interior lights, unlock the doors, and activate the hazard lights.* It helps react if you might not be able to.
Automatic Post-Collision Braking System We like to think ahead.
Not every collision brings a car to stop. That’s why our vehicles include the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System. It can also help slow the vehicle down after a collision, helping reduce the chance of any additional impacts.*
Six stability-enhancing systems
Equipped for peace of mind.
From Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution (EBD), which helps maintain appropriate stopping power during a hard-braking situation, to Electronic Stability Control (ESC), which can adjust engine throttle and apply corrective forces to the wheels that need them most, your vehicle is equipped with a total of six stability-enhancing systems.
