IQ.Drive is a range of advanced safety features that assist you when driving. They're not a substitute for careful driving, but they warn you of situations you may not have seen. This allows you to take action and avoid an accident. Many of these systems will actively intervene to protect you and your passengers. As your Volkswagen dealer, we want to tell you about some of the Volkswagen safety features you may have in your vehicle. more From Your Volkswagen Dealer: How Volkswagen Safety Features Protect You Active Blind Spot Monitor This system uses radar sensors to monitor your blind spots. If the sensors detect a vehicle, your direction indicators on the corresponding side and the three squares on that side mirror flash. If you're about to hit the turn indicator to change lanes, these warnings will save you from an accident. Rear Traffic Alert Radar sensors in your Volkswagen's rear scan the area to your left and right. When you shift into reverse, these sensors will warn you if they detect a vehicle or motorcycle that will pass behind you. This gives you time to brake and avoid a collision. This system will also automatically brake if your vehicle hasn't stopped after the warnings. Lane Assist This system is active when driving above 35 mph. It uses advanced camera technology to identify the lane lines and works to keep you centered in your lane. You receive audio and visual warnings if you move toward the lines and are not actively steering. If your vehicle continues to move, the system turns your wheel to direct you back into your lane. Front Assist This feature uses radar and a camera to scan the road ahead for other vehicles or pedestrians in your lane. Advanced versions of this technology can also detect cyclists. If it detects a moving object in front of you, it calculates the distance to the object and your speed to determine if a collision risk exists. Front Assist provides audio and visual warning if an accident is possible. These warnings give you time to take action by hitting the brakes or evading the object. If you don't react in time, the system applies the brakes and will perform hard braking to stop you almost instantly, if needed, to prevent a collision. Emergency Assist This feature is active if Lane Assist is active, and it monitors your hands on the wheel. If it detects your hands aren't on the wheel, it provides an escalating series of visual and audio warnings advising you to resume steering. If you don't actively steer after the warnings, it automatically works to keep you centered in your lane and brings your Volkswagen to a controlled stop for safety. These are just some of the systems that keep you safe. If you'd like to know more, contact us at Tony Volkswagen in Waihapu, HI.

Proper wheel alignment is vital for your Volkswagen's performance on the road. When your vehicle's wheels are correctly aligned, your tires wear evenly, enhancing your vehicle's grip on the road and prolonging the lifespan of your tires. This results in better handling, a smoother ride, and even fuel savings. Look out for the following signs from your Volkswagen dealer that warn you when to align your wheels. more The Importance of Wheel Alignment in Your VW: Signs to Watch For You Notice Abnormal Tire Wear When your Volkswagen's wheels are not properly aligned, your tires may not make even contact with the road surface. Misalignment will cause your tires to wear down unevenly. Uneven wear will impact your vehicle's traction and handling and significantly reduce the lifespan of your tires. Check your tires and compare the tread depth on the inner and outer edges of the tires. If you notice uneven wear, have your Volkswagen technician conduct a tire inspection and perform an alignment if necessary. Your Steering Wheel Shakes or Vibrates If your wheels are out of alignment, it may cause uneven tire wear. Tires that are not making even contact with the road could cause shaking or vibrations you will feel in the steering wheel. Aligning your wheels will minimize vibrations, improve your driving comfort, and greatly enhance your vehicle's maneuverability, especially when going through corners or making quick turns. Your Steering Wheel Is Off-Center When you're driving straight, your steering wheel should be perfectly centered. If you find yourself constantly adjusting it to keep straight or if it doesn't return to the center after turning, your wheels are out of alignment. The correct alignment will ensure your Volkswagen responds accurately to steering inputs, ensuring you are in complete control of your vehicle. Your Car Veers to the Side If your vehicle veers to one side without your input, it's time to consider getting an alignment check, as this will greatly affect your control over your vehicle and your safety. Veering is caused by the angles at which your wheels meet the road, indicating that your wheels may not be aligned parallel to each other. Proper alignment will prevent your Volkswagen from veering to the side at higher speeds. Your Car Is Heavy on Gas If you notice you're filling up your gas tank more often, it could be due to misalignment issues. Improper alignment creates unnecessary friction, forcing your engine to work harder and increasing fuel consumption. Ensuring your wheels are correctly aligned will reduce rolling resistance, lessen the strain on your engine, and lower your fuel costs. If you notice signs of alignment issues, have your Volkswagen's wheels inspected and aligned as soon as possible to prevent excessive wear and damage to your suspension, steering, and tires. Swing by Tony Volkswagen in Waipahu, HI, today for an alignment to improve your Volkswagen's handling, traction, and fuel consumption.

When your engine runs well because you keep up with oil, engine air filter, and spark plug changes, you will definitely see the difference when refilling your tank. Use the Right Oil It's a fact that engines run better when they are well-lubricated. If you want to improve your gas mileage, listen to the U.S. Department of Energy, which says using the right oil will lower your car's fuel consumption by up to 2%! Keep Your Tires Properly Inflated Regularly checking your VW's tire pressure and inflating them to the proper levels will save you money.

We know it's just a small percentage, but over time, it does add up. So, declutter your VW and enjoy the perks. Plan Your Routes and Avoid Heavy Traffic Another way to lower your fuel costs is to plan your trips by mapping routes before heading out. Avoid roads that cut through busy areas dotted with traffic lights and intersections. Use your VW's navigation for real-time traffic updates and the best routes.
