Whether commuting to work or driving cross-country on a family road trip, an extra “set of eyes” on the road can be a big help. Volkswagen has elevated this concept and developed an innovative new advanced driver-assistance system, IQ.DRIVE. This innovative system is available on many new 2021 Volkswagen models and offers peace-of-mind and convenience on busy roadways. This world-class safety system can alert you to potential obstacles in front of you, as well as keep an eye around you. On select Volkswagen models, IQ.DRIVE also delivers hands-on semi-autonomous driving capability, providing a more pleasurable driving experience. Check out how a brand-new Volkswagen with IQ.DRIVE will have you driving with confidence.
- Reduce fatigue on the road – IQ.DRIVE technology will help you retain focus and make highway driving more comfortable. Travel Assist uses a camera and sensors to keep you centered in your traffic lane when activated. It also helps maintain a safe preset distance between you and the car ahead of you. This semi-autonomous driver-assistance system can only be activated if it senses that both of your hands are safely on the steering wheel. Not currently using Travel Assist? IQ.DRIVE is still capable of intervening when an unintentional lane change is detected while traveling over 37 MPH and lane markings are present.
- Safely change lanes – The innovative IQ.DRIVE system can alert you to vehicles in your blind spot when changing lanes. Within limits, it also can counter-steer if you continue the lane change after receiving the alert.
- Avoid potential forward collisions – IQ.DRIVE’s camera and sensors monitor traffic and can alert you to a potential collision in front of you. If your response to the alert is delayed, this innovative system can increase brake pressure or automatically apply braking. Autonomous braking can also be applied if a pedestrian is detected crossing in front of your Volkswagen.
- Back safely out of a driveway or parking space – While in reverse, IQ.DRIVE’s sensors will alert you to vehicles crossing behind you, and even apply braking if needed.
- Safely stop your vehicle in case of an emergency behind the wheel – If your hands are not detected on the steering wheel, a series of alerts will be deployed by the IQ.DRIVE system. If you do not respond to any of these alerts by placing your hands on the steering wheel, the system can bring the vehicle to a controlled stop until help can arrive.
Thelen Volkswagen in Bay City, Michigan has a great selection of brand-new 2021 Volkswagen models currently in our inventory. These safety-focused vehicles have a wide array of driver assistance systems that will have you driving with confidence. Contact our sales team at 989-246-8982 for more information on how you can own a stylish Volkswagen with the innovative IQ.DRIVE safety technology.
