The new Scirocco features XDS, an extension of
the well-known Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)
function. This is linked to the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) hydraulics and works by applying
pressure to the inner front wheel during fast
cornering to prevent spinning. The one-sided,
precise brake pressure helps to maximise
traction, reduce understeer and improve
responsiveness, thus making cornering even
more sporty, safe and accurate. Standard on
R and optional on all other models.
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) utilises
sensors to detect critical situations at an early
stage, reacting within milliseconds by controlling
the speed of individual wheels, helping to
bring the vehicle under control. Standard on
all models.
A tightly held steering wheel and erratic
steering movements are the first signs of driver
fatigue. If several of these signs appear one
after the other, the Driver Alert system
recommends taking a break via visual and
acoustic signals, helping to keep you safe
on long journeys. Optional on all models.
Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) allows you
to select Sport, Comfort or Normal settings
for your journey with a touch of a button,
and adapts the damping control and shock
absorption rate to the road conditions and
driving style you require within milliseconds
Standard on R and optional on all other models.

The airbag system includes driver’s and
front passenger’s airbags with passenger’s
airbag deactivation switch, front seat side
impact airbags and curtain airbag system.
If an impact is registered, the airbags are
deployed within 30 to 40 milliseconds, the
doors are simultaneously unlocked, hazard
warning lights and inside lights switched on
and the fuel pump deactivated.

DRIVING DYNAMICS & SAFETY.
Impressive, sporty and safe: the running gear of the new Scirocco is designed to
deliver a dynamic driving style. Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC)* allows you to decide,
at the touch of a button, how firm or comfortable you wish to set the suspension,
while advanced engineering keeps you on track, especially when cornering.
* Dynamic Chassis Control is standard on R and optional on all other models.
The stylish sports instrument dials above the centre console pays homage to the original 1974 Scirocco, with gauges for turbo boost pressure, oil temperature and a stopwatch to measure journey times.
Standard on all models.
