Electromechanical Steering with
Parallel-axis Drive
Design and Function
The electromechanical power steering has many
advantages compared with a hydraulic steering
system.
It assists the driver and relieves the physical and
mental burden for him. It works on demand, i.e. only
when the driver requires steering assistance.
The steering assistance depends on the vehicle speed,
the steering movement and the steering angle.
The parallel-axis power steering is part of the latest
generation of electromechanical steering systems.
This steering system uses a combination of tried and
tested components and innovative new features.
It is currently only used in left-hand-drive vehicles.
The electromechanical steering with parallel-axis
drive is a VW development from the Braunschweig
development team. It is also produced at the
Braunschweig site.
This self-study programme explains how this
electromechanical power steering with parallel-
axis drive works in detail.

What you should know about the electromechanical power steering:
The electromechanical power steering does not
require a hydraulic system for steering assistance.
This steering system makes an important contribution
to environmental protection since no hydraulic fluid is
used.
S399_106
The electromechanical power steering is a steering
system with parallel-axis drive. It features a newly
developed steering box with a belt-driven
recirculating-ball gearbox that provides the steering
assistance.
S399_108
The electric motor is activated on demand to provide
steering assistance.
The system provides the driver with steering
assistance related to the driving conditions
(Servotronic).
S399_110
The steering is returned to the straight ahead
position by the “active return” function with assistance
from the electromechanical power steering.
This results in an acceptable return of the steering
wheel after cornering as well as more stable straight-
running.
S399_111
The straight-ahead driving correction
provides steering assistance to relieve the
driver on straight roads when there are constant
cross-winds or the road has excessive camber.
