Safety cage is a rigid part of the body of a car that surrounds the passenger compartment and protects passengers in the event of a collision. It helps distribute forces away from driver and passengers. The front and rear crumble zones of the new Volkswagen Passat help absorb crash energy. It also keeps the doors of the car closed during the crash but also able to open for easy access of first responders to the passengers.

Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS)

When the new Volkswagen Passat crash sensors detect a collision that results in deploying the air bags the Intelligent Crash Response System is detected automatically to:

a/ unlock the doors of the new Volkswagen Passat allowing the passengers to exit it safely. This is helpful because it saves time for both first aid providers and paramedics.

b/ turns on the internal lights of the new Volkswagen Passat making it easier for the passengers to find their way out of the car and for the first responders to access the situation fast.

c/ shuts off the fuel pump of the new Volkswagen Passat to prevent spraying fuel and minimize the risk of fire.

d/ turns on the hazard lights of the new Volkswagen Passat to assure visibility to other vehicles. This feature is particularly useful in limited visibility as it helps first responders quickly locate and reach the car.

New Volkswagen Passat Rear View Camera System

Honestly, we don't know how drivers can manage without one. It helps you see obstacles when backing up your new Volkswagen Passat which means it reduces minor accidents and repair costs associated with them.

Having a wide lens backup camera also means that you could parallel parking quickly and safely without fear of denting yours or other vehicles. It's twice as useful at night as you can clearly the area behind your new Volkswagen Passat when you are backing out.

Automatic Post-Collision Braking System

In the event of a crash the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System helps slow the new Volkswagen Passat down. The goal is to reduce the chance of any additional impact and injuries. Do not confuse the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System of the new Volkswagen Passat which is automatically activated after a crash with Volkswagen's preventive collision systems whose goal is to prevent a car crash from happening. 
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

The TPMS automatically monitors the air pressure of the tires of your new Volkswagen Passat and alerts you to a loss of tire pressure to add air. How is that a safety feature you might think?

Let me ask you something. When was the last time you checked the air pressure of your car tires? Probably never. Did you know that driving with under-inflated tires can cause unpredictable drive patterns at high speeds?

By helping you maintain proper tire pressure of the new Volkswagen Passat the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) increases your safety on the road. Proper tire pressure improves vehicle's handling, decreases tire wear (you won't have to replace tires more often that it is necessary thus save money), reduces breaking distance and improves fuel economy.

As you can see, the new Volkswagen Passat comes loaded with a lot of safety features that make it a formidable contender in the segment of 5 passenger family sedans.
