What are the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan Safety Features?
Looking to buy a compact crossover SUV that not only looks great but also comes loaded with a ton of safety features? The new VW Tiguan for sale in Sanford, FL fits the bill.
It was introduced in 2007 and almost 13 years later Volkswagen can't manage to make them fast enough. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gave the SUV of the German car maker an excellent side crash rating and rollover rating.
In the article below we want to highlight a few of the main safety features that make the new Volkswagen Tiguan a formidable contender in the SUV segment. As the manufacturer says "a lot goes in before you do". So, without further ado here are the main Volkswagen Tiguan Safety Features.
Rear View Camera System
What we hear time and time again is "we wonder how we've managed without it". Yes, having a backup camera is a big deal. It gives you increased visibility of the immediate vicinity around the car.
Having a vehicle with a rear view camera system will help you avoid small accidents and save on the related repair costs. You know how stressful parallel parking is when you are stopping the traffic, don't you?
That's a thing from the past when you buy the new VW Tiguan with a backup camera. The feature comes handy especially at night or when the visibility is decreased. The built-in lights make it really easy to back out quickly and safely.
Safety Cage
The name of this safety feature gives you an idea of what this safety feature is. The safety cage helps distribute away from the driver and passengers. The front and rear crumple zones help absorb crash energy. But that's not all.
The new VW safety cage also keeps the car doors closed in a crash and able to open after it. This way the first aid responders can have fast and easy access to the passengers in the SUV.Â
Volkswagen Tiguan Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS)
What does it do? It interacts with first responders if the passengers in the car are not able to. Here's how it works. In the event of a car crash it unlocks the doors of the SUV and turns on the internal lights to allow the passengers exit if fast and in a safe manner.
This also helps save paramedics and first responders time. ICRS also shuts off the fuel pump to prevent fuel spraying and setting the vehicle on fire. And last but not least, the Intelligent Crash Response System turns on the hazard lights making it easier for first responders to identify the vehicle.
Volkswagen Tiguan Automatic Post-Collision Braking System
As the name suggests the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System is activated after the crash. It's a fact that not every collision brings a car to stop.
The system helps slow down the SUV after a collision and help reduce the chance of additional impacts. Having an Automatic Post-Collision Braking System in your new VW Tiguan will help you keep control of the SUV in the event of a car crash.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
It automatically monitors the air pressure in the tires of your vehicles. Why is this so important? Because under-inflated tires are the cause for many injuries and even deaths per year in the States caused by car accidents.
The TPMS alerts you to a loss of tire pressure and you know you need to take action. In conclusion, maintaining proper tire pressure improves handling, reduces braking distance, decreased tire wear and improves fuel economy.
As you can see, the new VW Tiguan comes loaded with safety features to keep you and your passengers safe on the road.
