Volkswagen Connect Safety features

Rapid assistance whenever you need it. If you run into any issues, a flat tyre for example, when you’re out and about don’t worry, we’re here to help. Volkswagen Connect puts you in touch with Roadside Assistance, and if it detects a possible emergency will contact emergency services automatically.

Once you press the assistance button you Volkswagen will activate Breakdown Call and send your location to the Emergency Service. A member of the team will help you to identify the cause of the breakdown and dispatch a service vehicle to you if the problem cannot be solved.
