Volkswagen New Beetle
The Volkswagen Philosophy.
Innovation. Responsibility. Value. At Volkswagen we pride
ourselves on this set of beliefs. So when you make the
Volkswagen choice you can be assured that you have chosen
a car with this creed at the very core of its inception, its
development, and its realisation.
At Volkswagen we have combined the power of innovation
with exceptional design to deliver a superior driving
experience. Superb technologies such as our low emission
petrol and TDI diesel engines not only offer an enhanced
driving experience, but significantly reduce both carbon
emissions and fuel consumption.
Responsible, efficient environmental considerations such
as this not only save you money, but ultimately the planet’s
precious resources, and is just one example of the many
commitments that Volkswagen has made to reduce its
carbon footprint.
We are proud of the reputation we have earned for value.
A Volkswagen vehicle offers safety, reliability and comfort,
making it outstanding value for money. With trusted and
timeless German engineering our models are the perfect
vehicles for you and your family.

New Beetle.
From its cheeky good looks to its feature-fi lled interior,
the New Beetle has been designed with one thing in mind:
fun! And if just looking at it puts a smile on your face,
imagine what a drive can do. The New Beetle is a refreshing
change – a unique design that can only be described
as a modern classic.
The New Beetle | 5
6 | The New Beetle – Design
Design.
The New Beetle is a vehicle with character and extraordinary
styling. Its harmonious curves make the car unique
– from the arched roof and the windscreen drawn forward
over the bonnet, to the sculptural rear sitting down low
to the road. Its silhouette is instantly recognisable – a
harmonious convergence of smooth lines and pleasing
geometric arches. The result is an unconventional visual
statement of optimism, fun and individuality.
The New Beetle’s charm begins with its eye-catching but
brilliantly simple styling. Intelligent functionality and
exciting looks complement each other – right down to
the smallest detail. Every piece is rounded, every surface,
smooth. The oval shapes of the headlights and tail lights are
perfectly integrated into the New Beetle’s fluid contours,
and they sit flush with the body. Nothing breaks the
sculptured flow.
Design – The New Beetle | 7
Safety.
Safety is of the highest priority to Volkswagen and is therefore an overriding
theme in the design and engineering of the New Beetle. With a full suite of
active and passive safety systems, you can rest assured that your safety has been
thoroughly considered.
The New Beetle’s safety credentials include its rigid body structure which creates
a solid passenger cell. Its body panels are designed to crumple in the event of
an accident, absorbing the energy of the impact. The New Beetle’s lightweight
construction is reinforced with hardened, high strength steel to give occupants
maximum protection in an accident.
In an accident, depending on the severity of the impact, the New Beetle’s safety
features work together to protect occupants by deploying the belt tensioners
and airbags. The system also activates the hazard warning lights, the doors
are unlocked, interior lights are switched on and the fuel pump is deactivated.
Active Safety – Everything designed to help prevent
accidents from happening.
Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP)
ESP helps ensure that the vehicle goes where you steer it, even in extreme driving
conditions. The ESP system constantly compares the actual movement of the
vehicle with carefully pre-determined values. Should a situation arise in which
the vehicle starts to skid, ESP will apply the brakes to individual wheels and
automatically adjust the engine’s power output to help correct the problem.
It also minimises the likelihood of spinning off on a curve due to understeering
or oversteering.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
When braking, wheel speed sensors measure the road wheel speed and should one
or more wheels start to lock the ABS system reduces brake pressure to that wheel.
This prevents the wheels from locking during heavy or emergency braking, helping
enable the vehicle to remain steerable.
Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution (EBD)
Every vehicle’s centre of gravity shifts forwards when the brakes are applied.
This presents a risk of the rear wheels tending to lock up due to the reduction
in traction. Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution uses the solenoid valves in
the ABS unit to regulate the braking power at the rear wheels, thereby ensuring
maximum braking performance at both the front and rear wheels and preventing
the rear end from swerving out due to over-braking in the rear wheels.
8 | The New Beetle – Safety
Passive Safety – Design measures taken to protect
the occupants of vehicles from injury, or to reduce
the risk of injury.
Crumple Zones
Front and rear crumple zones absorb the energy of an impact and divert
the resulting forces away from the secure passenger safety cell.
Airbags
All New Beetle models feature standard driver and passenger front and front side/
head airbags. Airbags combine with the seat belts to help reduce the risk of severe
head and chest injuries in collisions. When inflated, airbags cushion the head and
upper body and distribute the resulting loads over as large an area as possible.
Safety Optimised Head Restraints
Safety Optimised Head Restraints on the front seats are optimally positioned and
specially contoured to help reduce whiplash injuries. In the event of an accident,
excellent protection is achieved via the seatback controlling upper body movements,
and this is balanced with head movements being controlled via the head restraints.
Seatbelts
Front seat passenger seatbelts are equipped with belt pre-tensioners and belt force
limiters. Belt tensioners tighten the seatbelt on impact, pulling it closer to the
occupant’s body, ideally positioning them for airbag inflation. Belt force limiters
reduce seat belt forces on front seat occupants and, in conjunction with belt
tensioners and airbags, lessen the risk of upper body injuries. Three-point seatbelts
are fitted to all seats, and child seat anchor points are fitted in the rear.
Active Roll Over Protection System (New Beetle Cabriolet)
Sensors recognise a roll-over situation and activate the advanced roll over
protection system in just 0.25 seconds. When activated, the rear head restraints
pop up in a fraction of a second and when combined with the heavily strengthened
windscreen frame, provide a sophisticated safety package.
Leather appointed seating shown is an optional extra.
Safety – The New Beetle | 9
Interior.
The New Beetle’s refreshing design and sense of style
flows through to its ergonomic interior. Quality materials
and fi nishes defi ne the interior space. The driver’s view
is focused on a single, circular instrument cluster which
utilises distinctive blue illumination. The high quality
controls are clearly labelled and placed in the most logical
positions, for easy and intuitive access.
Getting comfortable is easy with the height adjustable
driver’s seat and a height and reach adjustable steering
wheel. The standard air conditioning incorporates a
dust and pollen fi lter to trap airborne particles so they
don’t enter the cabin. In-car entertainment is delivered
by a premium six speaker CD sound system with
MP3 compatibility. The small vase in the dash complete
with a flower defi nes the spirit of the New Beetle.

Glossary.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
When braking, wheel speed sensors measure the road wheel
speed and should one or more wheels start to lock the ABS
system reduces brake pressure to that wheel. This prevents
the wheels from locking during heavy or emergency braking,
enabling the vehicle to remain steerable.
Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR)
ASR is a switchable traction control system that prevents the
driven wheels from spinning under acceleration by reducing
engine torque. It is active at speeds above 40km/h.
Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution (EBD)
Electronic, more sophisticated means of regulating the ratio
of front/rear brake pressure. Settings are varied according to
driving and load conditions to ensure each wheel is braked to
the optimum extent.
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)
EDL improves driving and steering characteristics when
accelerating on road surfaces where each wheel has a different
degree of traction. The system operates automatically and
is combined with the ABS system. Using the ABS wheel
sensors, EDL monitors the speed of the individual driving
wheels. When a difference in driving wheel speed is detected
(i.e. when one wheel starts to spin due to differences in road
surfaces, e.g. due to water or dirt) the system brakes the
spinning wheel, transferring engine power to the wheel with
the best traction. EDL is active in forward and reverse and
operates up to 40km/h.
Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP)
ABS, EDL and ASR traction control systems are integrated into
the Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP). In short, ESP helps
ensure that the vehicle goes where you steer it even in extreme
driving conditions. The ESP system constantly compares
the actual movement of the vehicle with pre-determined
values and should a situation arise where the vehicle starts
to skid, ESP will apply the brakes to individual wheels and
automatically adjust the engine’s power output to correct the
problem. ESP prevents the vehicle from losing control when
trying to avoid an accident, for example. It also prevents
spinning off on a curve due to either understeer or oversteer.

Australian Environmental Strategy.
Steps Towards Sustainability
To Volkswagen Group Australia, sustainability means
taking responsibility for the environment, as well as actively
participating in the development of society. We believe
sustainability offers opportunities for long-term innovations,
new approaches, efficient technologies and ground-breaking
products. Our organisation has established an Environment
Committee to manage our business activities and reduce our
environmental impact.
Carbon Management Strategy
We have developed a Carbon Management Strategy to
identify and manage carbon emissions from our business
activities. Our fuel usage from company cars and energy
usage were calculated to measure our Carbon Footprint,
and comprehensive carbon reduction targets have been
set. Volkswagen Group Australia aims to downsize its
environmental footprint in the future.
34 | The New Beetle – Australian Environmental Strategy
Carbon Management Program
Our range of vehicles has earned a reputation for fuel
efficiency. We’re working to extend that efficiency throughout
our entire operational structure. We’ve initiated a Carbon
Management Program, to recommend changes to achieve
emissions reductions. We’re making real changes in reducing
our carbon footprint.
Environmentally Friendly Engines
Our TSI twin or single-charged petrol engines achieve
impressive fuel efficiency with reduced CO2 emissions.
Our TDI diesel engines use less fuel and have lower emissions,
with the benefits of high torque and performance. Our diesel
particulate fi lter extracts soot from vehicle exhaust emissions.
Numerous engines already fulfi ll the stringent forthcoming
Euro 5 emissions standard.
