IQ.Light – LED matrix headlights
IQ.Light – LED matrix headlights
The IQ.Light LED matrix headlights are available as an option on the current Touareg. They feature interactive light control that makes night-time driving safer and more comfortable. The LED headlights use a matrix of individually controlled light-emitting diodes (LED). The matrix of the dipped headlight is formed by a circuit board with 48 LEDs, while the board for the main beam has 27 LEDs. Apart from the 75 diodes used for dipped and main beam headlights, there are a number of LEDs for other functions, including near zone illumination and signal functions (daytime running and position lights as well as animated direction indicators). In total, each headlight has 128 LEDs.

Technology highlights of the new Touareg – Part 1: Night Vision protects people and animals when driving in the dark
The new Touareg will be released onto the market packed with a range of innovations designed to help minimise dangerous situations. The new Touareg is the first Volkswagen model available with the Night Vision assist system. A thermal image camera (infrared camera) integrated at the front of the car registers infrared radiation coming from a living organism. If this camera detects people or animals, the assistant warns the driver within the limits of the system. This reduces the risk of endangering pedestrians, especially when away from well-lit city streets.
