Safety first.
The Touran is a vehicle designed to be practical and that practicality extends to its wide range of
safety features. For a start, the front and second row of seats are equipped with no less than six
airbags. These include driver’s and front passenger’s airbags, front seat side impact airbags and
a curtain airbag system for front and second row occupants. In addition, all seven seats have
three-point seat belts. For children, Volkswagen’s innovative Isofix child seat mounting system
is fitted on the outer seats of the second row, so children’s seats with the Isofix system can be
fitted securely to help provide maximum safety.
Then there are the safety features which constantly monitor driving conditions, helping you
avoid hazardous situations in the first place. They include an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
with Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) to prevent wheels from locking, and an Electronic
Stabilisation Programme (ESP), capable of reacting within milliseconds to help restore the
stability of the vehicle.
Safety and convenience are combined with the Park Assist system, a parallel parking guidance
system that was made for the city. When considering a parking space, drive past the space at up
to 19 mph, press the Park Assist button whilst indicating and ultrasonic sensors detect if the
space is sufficient to park in, if so, it notifies you via the multifunction display. Stop, engage
reverse gear and the assistant automatically steers you into the space. Parking sensors provide
an acoustic warning should you get too close to the vehicle behind – all you have to do is use
the clutch, brake and accelerator. Park Assist and parking sensors are standard on all Match and
optional on all S models.
When driving past a parking space at up to 19 mph, Park Assist with ultrasonic front and rear parking sensors, compares the space available,
which can be as little as 1.1 m longer than the length of the Touran. If the space is suitable, the Park Assist parallel parking assistant
automatically controls the steering as soon as you engage reverse gear. All you have to do is operate the accelerator, clutch and brake, while
keeping a good lookout. Parking sensors also assist in less challenging parking manoeuvres by emitting both audible and visual signals,
alerting the driver to any obstacles in the way: the closer you are to an obstacle the faster the sound frequency. Standard on all Match and
optional on all S models. Electric glass sunroof and metallic/pearl effect paint are optional at extra cost.
Finally, to aid you further, there is also an optical parking display via the vehicle’s
audio system in conjunction with parking sensors or Park Assist and parking sensors.
The optical parking display feature is available with RCD 310, RCD 510 or RNS 310
touch-screen navigation/radio systems.
The driver and front passenger
benefit from whiplash-optimised
head restraints which help lower the
risk of whiplash injuries in the event
of an accident.
Parking sensors fitted in the
rear bumper monitor the
distance from your vehicle
to an obstacle, helping you
manoeuvre in and out of
parking bays. Standard on
all Match and optional on
all S models.
As well as aesthetic appeal, front fog lights with
static cornering function provide added safety
when driving in poor weather conditions.
Optional on all Match models.
Side airbags provide greater
protection for the driver and front
passenger, whilst the curtain airbag
system protects the front and
second row passengers.
Pedestrian protection: larger spaces between the bonnet
and the engine, plus a new special foam padding under the
front bumper help to protect pedestrians in the unlikely event
of a collision.
Interior shown features optional ‘Nappa’ leather
upholstery. Some parts of leather interior will
contain artificial leather.
Model shown is Match.
