Only when you feel safe can you drive confidently. Which is why safety is such a fundamental concept in the Jetta – and why a whole range of new generation safety features are fitted as standard. Passive safety features include a curtain airbag system for front and rear passengers, front seat side impact airbags, as well as the standard driver’s and front passenger’s airbags with passenger’s airbag deactivation switch. Following an impact from the rear, the whiplash-optimised front head restraints help minimise whiplash injuries to the neck and spine and in addition, there are three head restraints and three-point seat belts for the rear seat passengers. The front seat belts are fitted with tensioners and are height-adjustable for added safety and comfort with a warning light and buzzer to notify you if your seat belt is unfastened. Further active safety features include an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and an Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP), supported by Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) and Traction Control (ASR). With everything included to ensure maximum safety for all concerned, all you have to do is sit back, relax and enjoy its many benefits with complete peace of mind. What better incentive could there be for driving the Jetta? But irrespective of the equipment selected, one thing is certain – the Jetta benefits from a powerful engine range allied with a dynamic chassis, offering superb driving potential. The McPherson front axle with separately mounted dampers and springs reduces roll to a minimum, while the four-link rear axle smoothes out any unevenness in the road and ensures stable cornering. The result is that your Jetta stays safely and comfortably on the road, while you enjoy complete control and a totally exhilarating drive. Safety.
