Park assist - Helps you park your car quickly and easily

Your car will practically park itself, cleverly steering into the tightest of spaces at the touch of a button. All you have to do is work the pedals.

With Park Assist on your car it's like having your own personal parking attendant. Our parallel parking system helps you park with ease - even in tight spots.

How it works?

When you want to parallel park your car you just press the Park Assist button and use the indicator before your car passes the parking space. Ultrasonic sensors in the front bumpers will scan the space to see whether it is big enough.

You then stop the car, select reverse gear and let go of the steering wheel. Park Assist shows you its intended reverse path on your multifunctional display, then puts the car into the best starting position and steers automatically into the space. Even though you don't have to steer, you're always in control of your car, working the accelerator or brake and the clutch. And you can deactivate the system immediately by taking over the steering or by braking to a standstill.

Parking in even smaller spaces. We've developed an enhancement to Park Assist that can help park your car when you want to reverse into even smaller spaces, in one or more moves. This semi-automatic system leaves you to assess the suitability of the parking space yourself, while you operate the accelerator and brake. You keep control of the car at all times, and can deactivate the parking assistant immediately.

How do I store my summer tyres safely during the winter?

We suggest the following: 1. Locate a cool, dry location away from any heat or water pipes. Flooring should be free from grease, and oil as this can deteriorate the tyre rubber. 2. Your local Volkswagen will identify which tyre came from which wheel for you before placing the tyres into the tyre bags. 3. Wash and dry tyres (and wheels) to avoid any corrosion during storage. 4. Stack your tyres lying flat on the floor in their bags i.e.Tread facing outwards not up. Do not stack any higher than 4ft. 5. Slightly rotate the tyres once a month to avoid any distortion in the rubber. 6. We recommend that your Volkswagen retailer re-fits your tyres for you. They will check the rubber for any distortions and also make sure the tyre pressure is correct.

Hybrid Touareg

 

The Touareg Hybrid offers such uncompromising power with efficiency you will be impressed for a hybrid to perform so well.

This is thanks to Volkswagen’s latest “parallel hybrid” technology where the petrol engine, electric motor, clutch and automatic transmission all work together.

From 0-31mph only the electric motor is used (LOW LOAD SITUATIONS, HIGH VOLTAGE (HV) BATTERY SUFFICIEBTLY CHARGED), with the petrol engine decoupled it consumes no energy and creates no emissions.

When the driver brakes, the energy normally lost during the braking phase is converted into electric energy and stored in the HV battery.

During rapid “kick down” acceleration, the electric motor works together with the petrol engine to provide all the power you need whilst reducing emission’s compared to a normal petrol engine car.

The Touareg selects the most efficient drive at all times, from on-road performance, climbing ability, towing to off-road capability.
