Body Assembly mount In contrast to the assembly mount in the previous model, the one in the T5 2010 is no longer made from steel but from a composite material comprising plastic with a steel insert. The main advantage is the increased weight saving. In order to guarantee the necessary stability and crash safety of the assembly mount, the upper cross member of the assembly mount has been fitted with a steel insert.
The tailgate emergency unlocking function All model variants of the T5 2010 with tailgate are equipped with a tailgate emergency unlocking function. In case of an emergency when the tailgate can no longer be opened, e.g. because: The tailgate or the opening mechanism has been damaged due to a crash ●...
Occupant protection As a feature of the Volkswagen safety strategy, the occupant protection system in the T5 2010 has been improved in the form of a seat belt fastening warning and a modified airbag concept for driver and front passenger protection.
Page 13
Belt fastening warning One feature in the safety concept is the seat belt fastening warning for the driver's seat which is installed as standard. An acoustic signal sounds if the driver's seat belt is not fastened. In addition, a red ISOFIX child seat restraint systems are warning lamp lights up in the instrument cluster.

From model year 2010 onwards, all T5 vehicles will receive the latest generation of ESP (electronic stabilisation programme). This is a further contribution towards the continuous process of meeting the safety targets set by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. The ESP system is not available at present in back-to-back cabs (T5 cabs) intended for subsequent completion, e.g.
Page 31
The system has the following new functions in addition to those already named: Function Functional description ARP minimises the risk of rolling over when cornering. If the transverse acceleration (active rollover protection) threshold value set for the individual vehicle is exceeded during cornering, the engine torque is reduced and the front wheel on the outside of the curve is braked.

Running gear Front brake 16-inch front brake On its front axle, the T5 2010 has a 16-inch brake system. The ventilated brake discs have the dimension Ø 308 x 29.5 mm. S453_082 All T5 2010 vehicles with 132 kW engine or a gross vehicle weight rating of more than 3000 kg are equipped with new, revised 17-inch brakes on the front axle as standard.
Page 33
Brake light switch on main brake cylinder Brake booster The mechanical switches on the pedal mechanism Tandem have been discontinued in all T5 2010 vehicles, and main brake cylinder replaced by a brake light switch on the tandem main brake cylinder of the brake booster. This brake light switch is one component that comprises two Hall sensors (to provide redundant backup).
Running gear The steering All T5 2010 vehicles are equipped with hydraulic power steering. Servotronic is available as standard for all Multivan Highline vehicles and is an option for all other T5 2010 models. It is a feature of Servotronic that the steering support is reduced as the vehicle speed increases.
Page 35
Adjustable steering booster pump The adjustable steering booster pump is mounted on the engine below the alternator, and is driven by the Steering booster pump belt drive of the engine. It is used in all T5 2010 vehicles with a diesel engine. S453_114 Structure and function The adjustable steering booster pump operates...
Page 36
Running gear Function At idling speed … the cam ring of the pump is pressed against the outer ring by spring force and the internal pressure conditions. This produces the greatest possible delivery volumes on the suction and pressure sides. The delivery volume increases as the rotation speed increases, in proportion to the rotation speed.
Page 37
As the rotation speed increases further … The delivery volume and pressure increase if the rotation speed continues to rise. The control piston is pushed further to the left against the spring force, and therefore the duct to the left chamber is connected to the suction line.
Heating and air conditioning The climate control The T5 2010 not only uses the manual heating and ventilation system but also the semiautomatic Climatic air conditioning system and the fully automatic Climatronic air conditioning system. Climatic The Climatic replaces the manual air conditioning system familiar from the predecessor.
S453_125 Auxiliary heater The basic structure and function of the Airtronic D3/B3 Plus Airtronic D3/B3 Plus corresponds to those of the Airtronic D2/D4S. For more information, refer to self-study programme no. 416 "Auxiliary heaters - part 2 Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles".

Installation location The onboard supply control unit is fitted in a bracket on the left under the dash panel. The picture shows a view from the engine compartment through a cut-out opening in the bulkhead. S453_069 Function The range of functions depends on the equipment. More complex equipment extends the range of functions compared to the more straightforward equipment, as shown by the functions listed in the table.
The external design and also the interior structure of the chambers of the headlight unit have been adapted to Volkswagen's new style. As in the previous model, it has a clear glass structure and is installed in the two variants with H4 and H7 headlight module.
Tail lights Brake and tail lights Tail light P 21/5 W R 10 W The T5 2010 has two different tail lights. In conjunction with the H7 headlight module, a new tail light is used which differs from the tail light in the previous model by its more striking design, its internal structure and the resulting distribution of the illuminated surfaces.
Page 48
Electrics E mergency brake display All model variants of the T5 2010 now feature the new "emergency brake display" function. The ABS control unit J104 detects an emergency braking situation based on the stored threshold values for deceleration and/or the ABS intervention time. It sets an emergency braking threshold if the speed is still faster than 60 km/h at this time.
