Das Auto. 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. 2 | The New Beetle – Philosophy Philosophy – The New Beetle | 3 4 | The New Beetle 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. 10 | The New Beetle – Interior Interior – The New Beetle | 11 12 | The New Beetle – Range The New Beetle Range.

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.
