Safety

Safety comes as standard, every time

Advanced design isn’t just about performance, comfort and style. It’s also about safety. The Volkswagen CC incorporates advanced safety technologies in addition to the latest, most sophisticated iterations of tried-and-tested systems measures that have been protecting Volkswagen owners for years. Active safety systems (designed to help prevent accidents) include Fatigue Detection and ESP; passive safety systems (designed to protect occupants and minimise collision impact) include seatbelts, head restraints, airbags and crumple zones.

Working together, these systems help ensure that the Volkswagen CC keeps its occupants as safe and secure as possible, confident in the knowledge that they’re travelling in a car with an advanced and comprehensive safety package.

Safety technologies are not a substitute for the driver’s responsibility for the vehicle.

Active Safety – Everything designed to help prevent accidents from happening.

Driver Fatigue Detection system (not pictured)

Driver fatigue is dangerous. This intuitive system is designed to alert the driver when the level of driver responsiveness appears to change indicating fatigue. The technology works by automatically analysing individual driving characteristics including the evaluation of steering movements. When fatigue is detected the system kicks in and alerts you with a warning sound and recommends that you take a break in the Multi- Function Display unit. Another reason the new Volkswagen CC is smarter than your average car.

Traction Control (EDL, ASR, ESP and XDL) Braking Control (Brake Assist, ABS and EBD)

Traction control helps to ensure that you maintain control of your vehicle even in difficult driving situations. Built around three distinctive functions, Extended Electronic Differential Lock (XDL) function which is an extension of the Electronic Differential Lock (EDL). It improves traction and reduces the tendency to understeer, Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP), Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) and Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR).

Traction Control improves grip, helps prevent wheel spin and adjusts engine power automatically depending on the conditions. There are different braking control systems such as Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist (BA) and Electronic Brake pressure Distribution (EBD). Together, these features provide powerful protection as and when you need it.

Passive Safety – Protecting occupants from injury, and reducing the impact of collisions.

Seatbelts with rear seatbelt warning display

Alongside front seat belt pre-tensioners and belt force limiters that tighten the seatbelt on impact, the new Volkswagen CC is now even safer with the addition of the seatbelt status indicator in the multifunctional display. This means you’ll instantly know when your children are belted in once driving.

Safety optimised head restraints (not pictured)

By working in unison with your vehicle’s seatbelts, your Volkswagen CC’s front Safety Optimised Head Restraints are designed to reduce whiplash injury – ensuring optimal protection when you need it most.

Airbags (not pictured)

The Volkswagen CC comes standard with eight airbags; twin front, side, rear seat side and full length curtain airbags. Combined with your seatbelts the airbags help to reduce the risk of severe head and chest injuries during collisions.
