In a potentially dangerous situation,
the Electronic Stabilisation Programme
(ESP) will intervene to diffuse the
problem. Through the brake and
engine management systems, it will
specifically slow down individual
wheels for greater stability. However,
this enhanced system should not
lead to carelessness, because ESP
cannot defy the laws of physics.
In conjunction with ESP, two other
systems are in force to provide
The epitome of modern day safety.
We know you’ll enjoy driving the New Beetle, but we want you to feel
totally safe and secure as well. The chassis, for example, is strengthened at
important points across the bodywork. Such joints absorb energy, and help
to keep the inner protective safety cell intact following a collision. You’ll
also notice that in the New Beetle Cabriolet there’s no rollover bar to
obstruct the view of the clear blue sky. You can be assured however that
it’s there if you need it. At the slightest hint of a roll or impact, rollover bars
eject from the rear backrests and together with a reinforced windscreen
frame provide exceptional protection to passengers.
improved roadholding and safety.
They are Electronic Differential Lock
(EDL) and Traction Control (ASR) –
a formidable combination to help
the vehicle’s stability and grip on
poor or wet surfaces.
In addition to front airbags (passenger’s front airbag can be deactivated if
required), the driver and front passenger have the reassurance of side
airbags, an Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP) for exceptional
roadholding on poor or wet surfaces and front active head restraints which
help lower the risk of whiplash injuries in the event of an accident. The two
rear passengers are protected by three-point seat belts and head restraints.

The New Beetle Cabriolet’s rollover
protection system is hidden behind
the rear backrests. Through intelligent
electronic sensors, the possibility of
a rollover or impact will be detected
and immediate action taken. Within
milliseconds the rollover bars will
eject and, together with the reinforced
windscreen frame, provide protection
to passengers.
In fact, there are numerous electronic features that are constantly
monitoring and assessing the driving situation and they are ready to
react in milliseconds should the need arise. We believe that prevention
is the safest form of protection. And when you feel safe, you can enjoy the
touring experience of the New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet even more.

In addition, there is the innovative Isofix child seat mounting system.
This allows children’s seats, equipped with the Isofix system, to be fitted
securely to the New Beetle and New Beetle Cabriolet’s body via eyes
between the rear seat backrest and seat base. Child seats with the Isofix
system can be purchased from your Volkswagen retailer.
