What Features Are Included in the Volkswagen IQ.DRIVE System?
The IQ.DRIVE system delivers smart technology that not only simplifies your drive but enhances your overall experience in your VW. Volkswagen’s IQ.DRIVE features include:
- Active Blind Spot Monitor: Warns when another vehicle is in your blind spots and helps counter-steer if necessary.
- Adaptive Cruise Control: Sensors detect when a vehicle is ahead of you and helps adjust your speed and maintain proper the distance between you and other vehicles.
- Front Assist: Forward Collision Warning, Autonomous Emergency Braking, and Pedestrian Monitoring help drivers avoid potential collisions with what’s in front of the vehicle and apply the brakes when necessary. When you’re traveling at higher speeds, the feature will first provide audio and visual alerts if it determines there is a risk of collision.
- Lane Assist: If you begin to drift into the other lane without your turn signal, Lane Assist will alert you when going 40 mph or faster, then help you counter steer to help you maintain your lane.
- Rear Traffic Alert: When backing up with limited visibility, this feature helps monitor your surroundings and automatically hit the brakes to keep a collision from occurring.
- Travel Assist: Travel Assist offers semi-autonomous driving features. For this feature to work, the driver must have their hands on the wheel. The goal of this feature is to make your highway cruising more comfortable. It delivers steering assistance, braking, and acceleration support.
- Emergency Assist: This system sends several alerts when Travel or Lane Assist is on, and a serious accident occurs. If you’re unresponsive and/or unable to drive, this feature will bring your car safely to a controlled stop.
Other safety and driver assistance features that come standard on your new Volkswagen include:
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): Measures the pressure in your tires and lets you know when it’s low.
- Rearview Camera: New VW vehicles come standard with a rearview camera to enhance your visibility when you’re reversing or see what’s behind you.
