At Peoria Volkswagen, we care about the safety of our customers long after the purchase of their new Volkswagen. Whether you need our expert opinion on the right car for your large family, or the perfect vehicle for just a young couple, you can trust our salespeople to give you the honest advice you need for a safe but enjoyable ride. Safety isn't just a fun, added amenity in our vehicles, it's a mandatory staple. Above all else, Volkswagen values securing passengers in their spirited drives or commutes with cutting edge technology that delivers.

That is why every new vehicle on our Peoria Volkswagen dealer lot has been outfitted with the R.E.D. Alert system. Since we know our customers want comprehensive protection from all sides, we're proud to highlight this safety feature that carries out this purpose. The R.E.D. Alert system is a pulsing third brake light system that gives drivers a proven safety advantage every time they are on the road. When the brakes are initially applied by a driver, the R.E.D. Alert system is activated to provide four powerful half-second pulses that alert the trailing driver of a gradual or sudden impending stop.

Why R.E.D. Alert System Matters in Your Lunde's Peoria VW

Volkswagen developed this technology in response to the knowledge that in one year almost 400,000 people were injured in car accidents involving distracted driving. Since it's not unusual today for drivers to focus on more than one thing at a time--such as social media, pets, children, audio/video devices or texting--we've made our priority targeting distracted driving. We also focus our attention on another statistic, that one out of three accidents are rear end collisions, 28 percent of which are deemed a total loss. With this in mind, and the knowledge that 90 percent of all rear end collisions are avoidable if trailing drivers had one more second of warning, we developed the tech to offer just this type of protection and warning.
