02 Pedestrian protection: larger spaces
between the bonnet and the engine,
plus a new special foam padding
under the front bumper help to
protect pedestrians in the unlikely
event of a collision.
Safety first.
The Touran is a vehicle designed to be practical and that practicality extends to its wide range of safety features. For a start,
the front and second row of seats are equipped with no less than six airbags. These include driver’s and front passenger’s
airbags, front seat side impact airbags and a curtain airbag system for front and second row occupants. In addition, all seven
seats have three-point seat belts. For children, Volkswagen’s innovative Isofix child seat mounting system is fitted on the outer
seats of the second row, so children’s seats with the Isofix system can be fitted securely to help provide maximum safety.
Then there are the safety features which constantly monitor driving conditions, helping you avoid hazardous situations in
the first place. They include an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) to prevent wheels from
locking, and an Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP), capable of reacting within milliseconds to help restore the stability
of the vehicle.
Safety and convenience are combined with the optional Park assist system, a parallel parking guidance system that was
made for the city. When considering a parking space, drive past the space at up to 19 mph, press the Park assist button
whilst indicating and ultrasonic sensors detect if the space is sufficient to park in, if so, it notifies you via the multifunction
display. Stop, engage reverse gear and the assistant automatically steers you into the space. Parking sensors provide an
acoustic warning should you get too close to the vehicle behind – all you have to do is use the clutch, brake and accelerator.
Finally, to aid you further, there is also an optical parking display via the vehicle’s audio system in conjunction with
parking sensors or Park assist and parking sensors. The optical parking display feature is available with RCD 310, RCD 510
or DVD touch-screen navigation/radio systems.
06 As well as aesthetic appeal, front
fog lights with static cornering
function provide added safety
when driving in poor weather
conditions. Standard on Sport
and optional on SE and
BlueMotion SE models.
04 The driver and front
passenger benefit from
whiplash-optimised head
restraints which help lower
the risk of whiplash injuries
in the event of an accident.
03 Parking sensors fitted in the rear
bumper monitor the distance from
your vehicle to an obstacle, helping
you manoeuvre in and out of
parking bays. Standard on Sport
and optional on S, BlueMotion S,
SE and BlueMotion SE models.
05 Should you have to brake in
an emergency situation, the
hazard warning lights are
activated automatically,
helping to give advanced
warning to other
road users.
07 Side airbags provide greater
protection for the driver and
front passenger, whilst the
curtain airbag system
protects the front and
second row passengers.
01 Parking in the city has never been so easy with Park assist, the parallel parking guidance system. Optional on all models.
Electric glass sunroof and metallic/pearl effect paint are optional at extra cost.
