If you’re a Volkswagen enthusiast in Peoria with many loyal years of driving Volkswagen models under your belt, you know how reliable and intuitive the brand’s models can be on the road. Over the years, Volkswagen engineers have both tweaked and dramatically altered models to best fit their consumers needs, and they continue this practice today with their innovative craftsmanship. One of the premiere technologies in Volkswagen models is the Rear Traffic Alert, which is a driver assistance technology that works alongside the Blind Spot Monitor. When an equipped vehicle is in reverse, the system basically monitors behind the vehicle for oncoming traffic and stationary objects, and will audibly and visually let the driver know if there is something there.
Find A Smart And Safe Volkswagen in Peoria
At our Peoria Volkswagen dealership, we are proud to carry a variety of different Volkswagen models that offer plenty of safety features and driver assistance like the Rear Traffic Alert. This particular safety feature uses the sensors from the Blind Spot Monitor to check both behind the vehicle and along the rear side areas where oncoming vehicles may be. To activate the system, the vehicle can either be put into reverse or the driver can turn on Park Distance Control.
If there’s a stationary object or oncoming vehicle, there will be an audible warning as well as a visual cue on the instrument cluster. To stop the alert, the driver just needs to press on the brake. This feature comes standard on the 2016 CC V6 4Motion Executive, Beetle SEL, Beetle Convertible SEL, Jetta GLI, Jetta Hybrid, and all 2016 Touareg trims except the Sport. If you would like to learn more about how to use the Volkswagen Rear Traffic Alert, one of our salespeople would be happy to help you out!
