Recycling
Principle:
Avoidance comes before
reduction
Reduction comes before recovery
Recovery comes before disposal
Renewable raw materials are used every vehicle. Their recyclability is a major factor. The
raw materials which are made into components
are processed and recycled.
F l a x f i b r e m o u l d i n g m a t e r i a l is contained in
trim panels and covers.
The straw left over from the linseed harvest was
burnt for many years. However, approximately
25% of fibre component can be used as a basic
material for fibre mouldings. The quality of the
fibres need not meet the high standards of the
textile industry, but it does satisfy the high quality standards for trim panels.
Flax fibres are highly workable and have excellent material properties.

Occupant protection
There is more to occupant protection than the
airbag, belt tensioner and stable side protection.
Most of the impact energy is absorbed by the
car body.
Achieving such a high standard of safety means
paying special attention to detail.

Lashing eyes
The four lashing eyes in the luggage compartment enable luggage to be secured safely.
The paddings
are integrated in the door and side trims. They
protect the pelvis and rib areas of occupants
during a side impact.

Anti-theft measures
A number of measures have been taken to provide more effective theft protection.

Anti-theft measures
The steering system
The striker pin of the ignition lock can no
longer be sheared off. This makes it impossible
to steer the vehicle.
A corrugated tube is located on the steering column. A bush with oblong holes is
press-fitted on it. The steering column
and the bush joined by an interference fit
via the corrugated tube.

Inserting the ignition key in the ignition withdraws the striker pin from the oblong holes of
the bush.
The vehicle can again be steered since the corrugated tube and the bush now rotate with the
steering column.

Anti-theft measures
Immobiliser
This is an electronic theft deterrent. It is activated when the ignition is turned on. The
immobiliser prevents unauthorised persons from
operating the car by intervening in the engine
control unit.

Anti-theft measures
Anti-theft alarm
This monitors the doors, the bonnet, the tailgate
and the ignition lock.

Indicator lights
If the vehicle is broken into in one of the monitored areas, a signal is sent to the control unit and
the alarm is tripped. The alarm is reproduced
audibly by activating the signal horn for the antitheft alarm and visually by activating all the indicator lights.
Depending on the cars specification, the selfdiagnosis can be performed using
- address word 35 in the central locking control unit or
- address word 46 in the convenience system
central module.

Body
The fully galvanised body
The new Golf has a fully galvanised body and
therefore offers greater protection against
corrosion (12-year anti-corrosion perforation
warranty).

High-strength panels
They are specially alloyed thin panels which
achieve high strength as a result of subsequent
heat treatment.
Therefore, it is possible to use panels which

High-strength panels
Thermal post-treatment
This is a welcome side-effect of the stove
enamelling process during which the body is
heated to approximately 170C anyway.
The advantage of this effect is that the body
panels, made of a relatively soft material, only
achieve their ultimate strength once the shaping
process has been completed.

Front bumper
In a frontal collision at speeds of up to approx.
15 kph, the bumper together with the cross
member absorb enough energy to prevent the
side members from being damaged.

Rear bumper
The rear bumper has been enlarged.
As a result, a low-speed rear collision does not
cause damage to the body side section.
