ABS is a technology that prevents the wheels from being locked up immediately upon applying break. Volkswagen polo has this ABS technology. In modern cars ABS is not the only technology used to improve the performance of brake. EBD or Electronic Break-force Distribution helps in the uniform distribution of the force developed during the time of breaking. With the above mentioned features you can drive comfortably.
Air bags give the passengers extra safety. There are two airbags for the protection of the driver and the fellow traveller. These airbags give protection to the chest head and thorax of the passengers sitting in the front seat. Side air bags give protection in case of any collision from the sides. Volkswagen polo will warn you if seat belts are not put on. Seat belts have tensioners and limiters to limit seat belt force. Two and three head restraints are provided in the front and back seats.
