Volkswagen IQ.Drive

Nearly every model in the Volkswagen lineup offers IQ.Drive, a safety-enhancing tech suite that includes everything you need for extra peace of mind on your Santa Clara travels. See some of the advanced Volkswagen technology available through IQ.Drive in the breakdown below:

• Travel Assist: Travel Assist combines the functions of Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keep Assist to help reduce fatigue during long-distance travel. 

• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): Using sensors to detect the vehicle ahead, Adaptive Cruise Control adjusts your speed and manages your following distance, allowing you to keep up with the flow of traffic. 

• Active Blind Spot Monitor: The Active Blind Spot Monitor watches for vehicles hiding in your blind spots, alerting you and automatically countersteering to avoid a collision when necessary. 

• Rear Traffic Alert: Reversing out of a tight parking spot or backing out of your driveway in Sunnyvale? The Rear Traffic Alert monitors the back of your vehicle, alerting you and hitting the brakes if a collision is imminent. 

• Front Assist: Even with our eyes on the road, unexpected incidents can occur. That’s why Front Assist monitors the road ahead of your vehicle, checking for other cars, pedestrians, or cyclists, to identify and mitigate the risk of collision. 

• Emergency Assist: In the event of a serious incident that affects your ability to drive, Emergency Assist will bring your VW to a safe stop and contact assistance. 

• Lane Assist: Lane Assist utilizes a camera-based system to prevent your vehicle from going over traffic lines. 

Other Driver-Assistive Volkswagen Technologies

Though the IQ.Drive suite offers a comprehensive collection of driver-assistive technology, there are several other advanced Volkswagen safety features available as stand-alone amenities on select models. These are some of the driver-assistive Volkswagen technologies available outside of the IQ.Drive suite:

• Volkswagen Park Assist Plus
• Park Distance Control with Maneuver Braking
