2017 Volkswagen Jetta rear view camera standard feature

When you’re behind the wheel, being aware of your surroundings is crucial. That’s why visual aid tech such as the rear view camera has become a must-have feature for many drivers. With technology like this in higher demand for drivers, Volkswagen has made the choice to make the rear view camera a standard feature in the 2017 Volkswagen Jetta. Drivers of the new 2017 Volkswagen Jetta will have a rear view camera featured in their vehicle, regardless of its grade, as the handy tech will be a standard across the Jetta trims, even at the base S trim level.

Benefits of having a rear view camera

It goes without saying that there are plenty of benefits to having a rear view camera in your vehicle. Here are some of the benefits to having a rear view camera featured in the 2017 Volkswagen Jetta.

Eliminates Blind Spot

While the rear view mirror of your vehicle can give you a good idea of what’s behind you, it doesn’t let you see everything. A rear view camera allows you to see everything behind you without needing to turn or adjust your view.

Keeps Kids and Pets Safe

As both children and pets would likely fall into your blind spot when you’re backing out of your driveway or a parking lot. The extra visibility makes it much easier for you to see kids and pets that may be crossing behind you while you’re backing up.

Parking

Not only does a backup camera make it easier to park your vehicle in difficult parking spots, such as when parallel parking, but it also makes it easier to back out of stalls when lots are busy. Being able to see behind you makes it easier to avoid backing into crossing traffic.
