Introduction
Overview
To start with, the diverse new features of the electrics and electronics of the Touareg 2011 are given some clarity.
Listed as follows, therefore, are the main participating new components and functions, which are allocated to the
two large main groups infotainment and driver assist systems.
However, note that as networking of the most diverse vehicle systems intensifies because components are being
combined to realise several vehicle functions, so clear assignment to one system constitutes a simplification, this in

The data to be transferred are sub-divided into frames. Each frame comprises 512bits (64bytes) of digital
information. The overall length of a frame is made up of one start and one boundary field, two data fields, one
controlling data field, one status and one parity field. The maximum amount of data that can be stored in both data
fields is limited to 480bits (60bytes) due to this fixed division.
The data is transferred via 3 channels:

- Control channel for controlling data
- Synchronous channel for audio and video data transfer (synchronous realtime transfer without
intermediate storage)
- Asynchronous channel for large quantities of data, e.g. map data to dashboard insert (asynchronous, event-
controlled data transfer, intermediate storage possible)
On the new Toureg 2011, the size of the synchronous data field is fixed at 40 bytes and the asynchronous data field
is fixed at 20 bytes.

The fibre-optic cable comprises several layers:
● the outer coloured coat serves as a means of identification, as protection against mechanical damage and
against temperature extremes.
● The black inner coat protects the core against light irradiation.
● The cladding (polymer fluoride) is a layer around the core with lower refractive index. Its thickness is several
microns and it ensures that the light fed through the core nearer to the edges is reflected back to the centre of
the core, thus preventing "lateral" loss of light from the core.

Electrical system
FlexRay
The higher demands on data rates and also data security necessitate the introduction of time-controlled bus
systems with high band width (as a comparison: the CAN data bus is an event-controlled bus system).
FlexRay is a new data bus system, which is debuted in the Touareg 2011. FlexRay is a serial, deterministic and fault-
tolerant field bus system for use in automobiles. At 10Mbit/s, FlexRay is twenty times faster than a high speed CAN
(which has 500kbit/s).
A further important feature is the guaranteed reaction and latent period. A latent period here describes the time a

not transfer (predetermined,

Unlike the CAN data bus, at least two control units are needed on the FlexRay data bus in order to start the

For time-controlled communication within this set network, the shared time basis is formed by the common mode of

5ms.
Static segment
In the static segment, each control unit has one or more slots (time windows) permanently assigned to it, during
which time it can send messages. The quantity and the type of data in this instance is specified for each control unit.
This is the deterministic part of the FlexRay, with which assurance can be given that important messages
(in the Touareg 2011, those from adaptive cruise control) have been transferred within the prescribed time.
Dynamic segment
The dynamic segment can be used by a control unit to send additional messages. The communication behaviour in
the dynamic segment is not deterministic.
If a control unit does not issue a message, the next control unit can send their message straight after the mini slot
has elapsed. Currently, the dynamic segment is only used in the FlexRay network of the Touareg 2011 for special
developer messages. This segment behaves like an event-controlled data transfer system.

The electronic ignition lock

An electronic ignition lock finds its debut in the new Touareg. This ignition lock is a new design. Part of this involved
converting the mechanical turning principle into a version that senses what position the key has been turned to
electronically.
Design
The new remote key fob has no key as such but three
buttons to unlock and lock the vehicle and also to
open the rear lid.
If the VW emblem is pressed along with an additional
retaining lug, an emergency key pops out on the rear.
This serves as a means of unlocking the vehicle in an
emergency if the battery in the fob is discharged.
The remote key fob also has a mounting for a key
ring. S470_007
The battery lid can be found behind the chrome clasp
of the remote key fob.
22
Function
Inserting remote key fob To start the vehicle, the remote key fob is inserted into
the opening until it engages securely.
In this first position the infotainment components, such
as radio and navigation system are activated as the
S-contact is actuated when the fob is inserted. If the

The multifunctional camera system

With the camera control unit J852, the multifunctional camera forms one assembly unit. With the operating and
display protocol (ODP), the camera control unit J852 sends information via the extended CAN data bus to be used
by the light assist systems and the lane departure warning system.
If the Touareg is fitted with adaptive cruise control (ACC), the control unit for image processing J851 is also
included. J852 receives the image information via a fast LVDS line (Low Voltage Differential Signalling).

Stop&Go function
If the vehicle travelling ahead slows down to a halt, the Touareg will brake automatically and stop behind the
vehicle. If the vehicle ahead resumes its journey within three seconds, the Touareg will follow it likewise
automatically. If the stationary period lasts longer than three seconds, the driver can activate a time window of 15
seconds by pressing the RES button in the steering column switch enabling the Touareg to follow the vehicle ahead
automatically within this period.
With the gap close function (press RES button, both vehicles stationary), the gap to the vehicle ahead can be closed
comfortably.

System design
The adaptive cruise control system is a functional highlight. A combined system of up to 27 control units provides
even greater comfort and safety. A new feature of the adaptive cruise control system in the Touareg 2011 is not just
that this assist system is one function spread over several control units but also that other assist systems with
completely different tasks can be included in the operation.
In this instance, for example, these are the radar sensors from the lane departure warning, the multifunctional
camera system, which is used, among other things, to keep the vehicle in lane, and also the ultrasound sensors from
park distance control. All of the components and systems mentioned serve as a means of monitoring the area in
front of and behind the vehicle and identifying potential obstacles. They are described briefly as follows.

Front radar sensors
The front radar sensors are located next to the fog

lamps. They are 3rd generation radar sensors with the
following features:
● Integrated in the sensor are 4 radar aerial units.

● They work based on the long range sensor
principle with a sender frequency of 77GHz.
● The installed sensor heater works in a temperature
range of -5°C to +5°C. S470_036
● The radar sensor range is 200m.
● The horizontal opening angle is 40 degrees.
With this new generation of radar sensors, the whole

width of a 3 lane road can be scanned even from a
distance of approx. 30 m.

This information is transmitted to the ACC system, adopted by it in its calculation algorithm and serves as a means
of determining, with greater precision, what is happening ahead.
Obstacle detection in close proximity
The information from the multifunctional camera system and the ultrasound sensors for obstacle detection is
required mainly for the close proximity (within 5m) to make it easier to resume travel. In this range, the radar
sensors are not capable of detecting the whole area due to their radiation characteristics and their opening angle.
Monitoring following traffic
If a "no following traffic" message has been issued, the rear sensors enable Front Scan to increase the deceleration
rate of 3m/s2 to maximum 9m/s2 during brake intervention following a driver warning.

System function
When the lane departure warning system is switched on, the system starts to scan and evaluate the path the road
follows in front of the vehicle via the camera. If the vehicle gets close to a recognised boundary line and there is a
threat of it departing the lane, the driver is warned by a vibration in the steering wheel.
The system only warns once. A second warning is only issued if the vehicle has moved sufficiently away from the
relevant boundary line and has then approached it again. In this way, it is possible to avoid continual warnings
while driving parallel to a road marking.

Area View
This driver assist function is debuted at Volkswagen in the Touareg 2011. Area View is a camera-based area
capture system and is an enhancement of the reversing camera familiar from the A and B class (Rear Assist). While
the reversing camera covers the area behind the vehicle, Area View allows the driver to see the entire area around
the vehicle. It offers the driver numerous views and setting modes that he/she can specifically select depending on
the traffic situation and according to the information he/she requires.

Operation
By engaging reverse gear or pressing the parking aid button, the relevant view is shown on the display of the radio
or navigation system with touchscreen and has a mini bird's eye view on the left of the display.
In the mini bird's eye view, the detailed perspective can be selected by touching the relevant area (front, rear, left or
right of vehicle). By touching the roof of the vehicle in the mini bird's eye view, the whole view of the vehicle from
above is displayed.
Once the relevant region is selected in the mini bird's eye view, the display changes to split screen. A detailed view
of the selected area around the vehicle is then shown in the right half of the display. In a second step, softkeys in
the pulldown menu on the right side of the screen can be used to select different views. In the mini bird's eye view
shown on the left, the camera selection and thereby camera perspective can be selected.

Function
Area View works in a speed range from 0 to 15km/h. The cameras capture the area around the vehicle once
activated. The captured images are straightened out by the area view camera control unit because the raw images
from the wide-angle lens cameras are heavily distorted. The angle of view is then adapted to the desired
perspective, also by means of image processing. Finally, this corrected image is enhanced with guidelines
depending on the selected view to show the distances and to project athe lkswagen AG
