Safety
By building on the safety standards achieved with previous generation
Volkswagens, the sixth generation Golf features a range of all-round safety
precautions offering maximum protection in any eventuality, once more
setting the standards for others to follow.
The two whiplash-optimised
front head restraints not only
ensure additional comfort, but
also provide particularly effective
support for the head and spine
in the event of a collision.
When driving past a parking space at up to 19 mph, the optional Park Assist system with ultrasonic front and rear
parking sensors, compares the space available with the length of the Golf. 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. In addition an optical parking
display* extends the functions of the parking sensors by indicating your position, either in monochrome on
RCD 310 or colour on RCD 510 and RNS 510 DVD navigation system, on the vehicle’s audio display during parking.
Park Assist including parking sensors are optional on all models except Match, Match BlueMotion Technology
and R models. Parking sensors also assist in less challenging parking manoeuvres by emitting an audible
warning alerting the driver to any obstacles in the way: the closer you are to an obstacle the faster the sound
frequency. An optical parking display* via the vehicle’s audio display is also a handy addition. Parking sensors
are standard on Match and Match BlueMotion Technology and optional on all other models.

The Optical Parking Display feature will not function with RCD 210 radio systems.

Both driver and passengers can rely on a comprehensive airbag system comprising
driver’s and front passenger’s airbags with front passenger’s deactivation switch
and a curtain airbag system with front seat side impact airbags for the driver and
front passenger. Also, for the first time on a Volkswagen, the Golf is also fi tted with
a driver’s knee airbag for added protection, particularly in the event of a head-on
collision. Deployment of the airbags is activated by crash sensors. When an impact
is registered, the airbag control unit ignites the gas generator, which then infl ates
