The VW Atlas includes Electronic Stability Control, which ensures that the vehicle regains traction after wheel slip by providing selective braking pressure. Additionally, the Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution works by varying the amount of brake pressure applied to the front and rear wheels to give you better control when slowing down or stopping.The safety components of the Volkswagen Atlas include several braking systems that are designed to keep you in control while providing added assistance in the event of emergency braking situations.
Passengers receive plenty of protection from the extensive airbag system within the VW Atlas cabin. You and your front passenger get protection from the front and side thorax airbag supplemental restraint system. All the outboard passengers receive protection from the Side Curtain Protection® head airbags. From the outside, the crash-optimized front end is designed to absorb and disperse the energy generated during a frontal collision.
The Volkswagen Atlas also includes the Intelligent Crash Response System. This system activates after a collision occurs by adding extra assistance to the passengers. It unlocks all the doors, activates the interior and hazard lights, and cuts off the fuel flow to the engine. This type of assistive technology can help prevent further damage to the vehicle after an initial collision occurs.
The Volkswagen Atlas comes with a number of other driver assistive features that will help keep you safe out on the roadways. The Rear View Camera System will complement the Rear Traffic Alert system well. When shifting the SUV into reverse, the rear view camera will automatically kick on in order to provide you with a seamless line of sight to what’s going on behind your vehicle.
On the interior, the VW Atlas also features a Tire Pressure Monitoring System. This will monitor your tire pressure in each wheel, and alert you if any of your tires need attention. This will help keep the vehicle stable with supreme traction, and can also help you earn optimal fuel efficiency while on the go.
The VW Atlas comes with the Volkswagen Car-Net® as well. This system will take your safety and convenience to the next level. The feature comes with a mobile app that will arm you with remote access to your Volkswagen Atlas.
