A World First for Valeo's 360Vue(R) System on the New Volkswagen Touareg

PARIS, September 30, 2010 - Valeo's 360Vue(R) system, which offers total vision around the vehicle,
equips the new Volkswagen Touareg.

Four miniature digital cameras (in the front and rear,
and on the outside rearview mirrors), linked to an image processing
application, allow the system to display a single homogeneous view on a
central screen. The processed image gives the driver the impression of seeing
the vehicle and its environment from above. Maneuvering in complex situations
becomes safe and easy.

The driver may also select other views on the screen: for
example, a wide-angle view of the area behind the vehicle is particularly
useful when parking. Similarly, viewing the area in front of the vehicle is
important at a blind junction or parking slot exit.

The system is also linked to ultrasonic sensors, which enable
precise distances to be displayed as lines on the image. Other lines become
dynamic to illustrate the trajectory as soon as the driver begins the
maneuver. Diagonal parking is made far simpler, allowing the driver to park
in the narrowest of spaces.

Valeo has confirmed its position as world leader for
multi-camera viewing systems, which are already in production on a number of
models by four automakers.

By the end of 2011, 17 models from five different brands will
be equipped with multi-camera viewing solutions.

design, production and sale of components, integrated systems and modules for
