The new 2012 Volkswagen Passat focuses on packing as much comfort and dependability into a small car as possible, but it also features plenty of safety features. All styles of the Passat feature an Anti-Lock Braking System, which helps prevent the brakes from locking and causing the vehicle to slide. The front end has been designed to be crash optimized, with shock absorbing pads and properly placed crumple zones to protect the driver during front end collisions.
All 2012 Passats come standard with 6 airbags, located around the vehicle to optimally protect every passenger. Customers can also upgrade the airbag system to add two additional airbags, for extra safety in case of a crash. Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution is a newer feature that VW has added to this car. EBD allows the vehicle to add extra braking power to any wheel, allowing for a more controlled braking experience. If you slam on your brakes hard to avoid hitting another car, more weight and pressure is pushed onto the front brakes. The EBD system allows the car to add extra power to the front brakes to compensate, therefore avoiding sliding or loss of power.
