Safety.
The well-designed airbag system consists of driver’s and front passenger’s airbags with passenger airbag deactivation switch, side
impact airbags and a curtain airbag system to help protect the front and rear seat occupants in the event of an accident. When the
airbag is deployed, doors are also unlocked, hazard lights and interior lights activated and the fuel pump deactivated. As a result of
this intelligent airbag system, extremely strong bodywork structure and countless other safety features, the Tiguan has been awarded
the maximum five stars for passenger protection in the Euro NCAP Crash-test. The Tiguan also comes with a rigid safety cell made
from high strength sheet metal, bound together using laser welding techniques, resulting in extremely strong and safe joints, energy
absorbing crumple zones and optimum protection for occupants even under the most severe collision conditions. Isofix child seat
preparation allows the safe attachment of two child seats to the rear of the Tiguan, and additional ‘top tether’ securing points are also
provided on the reverse sides of the rear backrests, while head restraints and three-point seat belts are provided for all five occupants,
including seat belt tensioners for the driver and front passenger.
Flat tyre indicator: In the event of a
change in air pressure in any one of the
four tyres, a warning symbol appears in
the multifunction display, advising the
driver to rectify the situation. Standard
on Match, Match BlueMotion
Electronic Stabilisation Programme: This sensor-controlled system detects critical
situations at an early stage and takes action, for example, by specifically braking
individual wheels helping to bring the vehicle under control. So whether it’s a tight
bend or loose road surface, ESP will help you stay safely on course. Though such
innovative systems are highly effective, it’s worth remembering that they cannot
dispense with the laws of physics.
Technology, Sport, R Line and Escape
models. When optional alloys are
specified, the flat tyre indicator comes
as standard.
ABSPlus: The Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) together with EBD (Electronic
Brake-pressure Distribution) help to
deliver exceptional handling and
braking. When driving straight ahead
on loose surfaces, the system will
briefly lock the front wheels which
enables them to dig into the surface
and help reduce the stopping distance.
When the wheels are turned, the normal
ABS is activated.
4MOTION: Volkswagen’s sophisticated four wheel drive system, distributes
engine power to all four wheels wherever needed, ensuring greater agility,
better manoeuvrability and optimum safety.
Airbags: All Tiguan models feature no less than six individual airbags as standard, an optional rear side airbag system can also
be specified to help further protect rear seat passengers.
