CONTENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
June 2, 2006
To the Participants and Plan Administrator
Visteon 401(k) Savings Plan
Van Buren Township, Michigan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the
Visteon 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related
statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31,
2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plans internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the aforementioned financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the changes
in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements
taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held for investment purposes as of December
31, 2005 is presented for purposes of complying with the Department of Labors Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
as amended, and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

VISTEON 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005 and 2004
NOTE A DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
General
The following brief description of the Visteon 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan) is provided for
general informational purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document and amendments
for more details regarding the Plan.
The Plan is a defined contribution plan subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). The Plan was established to encourage and facilitate
systematic savings and investment by eligible employees, as follows:
|
|
Hourly employees of Visteon Corporation (Visteon) represented by the International Union, United Automobile,
Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW) |
|
|
Salaried and hourly employees of Halla Climate Systems Alabama Corp. (Halla) |
|
|
Salaried and hourly employees of Visteon Regional Assembly & Manufacturing, L.L.C. (VRAM) |
The Plan provides eligible employees an opportunity to become stockholders of Visteon. The Plan
includes provisions for voting shares of Visteon stock.
In the 2003 agreement between the UAW, Ford Motor Company (Ford), and Visteon, the parties agreed
that all UAW-represented hourly employees hired at Visteon facilities during the term of the
2000-2003 UAW-Visteon agreement would become Ford employees covered in all respects by successive
UAW-Ford National Agreements so long as they remain Ford employees, as well as during their
retirement. Effective December 22, 2003, the Plans participants could: (1) elect a cash
distribution, (2) roll over the balance to an eligible individual retirement account or qualified
plan, or (3) elect a special rollover to the Ford Motor Company Tax-Efficient Savings Plan for
Hourly Employees, which would include any outstanding loan balances. If the participants balance
was at least $3,500, the participant could leave these assets in the Plan, subject to Plan
provisions, and can withdraw them at any time. The Plan distributed assets under $3,500 to Plan
participants.
Pursuant to the Visteon Hourly Employee Conversion Agreement between Visteon and Ford effective as
of October 1, 2005, and a Memorandum of Agreement dated May 24, 2005 by and between the UAW, Ford,
and Visteon, all Visteon employees represented under the Master Visteon-UAW Collective Bargaining
Agreement dated June 29, 2000 and the Supplemental Agreement dated as of May 4, 2004 became
employees of Ford covered by the UAW-Ford National Agreement on October 1, 2005.

VISTEON 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
December 31, 2005 and 2004
NOTE A DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)
General (continued)
Converted employees could elect distributions or rollovers consistent with those described in the
preceding paragraph, except that, consistent with the terms of the Plan as amended effective March
28, 2005, mandatory distributions greater than $1,000 were made in the form of a direct rollover to
an individual retirement account designated by the Plans Administrative Committee, unless the
participant affirmatively elected a direct distribution or rollover to a different individual
retirement account or qualified plan.
Eligibility
Eligibility to participate in the Plan varies with employment at Visteon, Halla, and VRAM
(collectively, the participating employers). The eligibility period ranges from first day of the
month following the date of hire to three months following the date of hire.
Contributions
Under the Plan, and subject to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the Code), participants may elect to contribute up to 50 percent of their eligible wages.
Participants employed at Visteon may also elect to redirect their annual profit sharing bonus, if
any, to be a contribution to the Plan. Participants who have attained the age of 50 are eligible
to make additional pre-tax catch-up contributions. Pre-tax and catch-up contributions are excluded
from participants taxable income.
Matching contributions are made by the participating employers and are directed by the participants
to funds available in the Plan. The amount of matching contributions depends on employment with
the participating employer. Participants should refer to the Plan document for additional details
regarding the amount of the matching contribution. Employees of VRAM also receive a fixed annual
contribution from the employer.
Participant Accounts
Each participants account is credited with the participants contributions and allocations of: (a)
Plan earnings, and (b) certain fund expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or
account balances. Under the Plan, certain funds will charge fees on short-term transfers, which
are paid from the participants account. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is
determined from the participants vested account.

VISTEON 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
December 31, 2005 and 2004
NOTE A DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)
Benefits
Distributions of benefits shall be made upon the occurrence of any one of the following:
|
|
In-service withdrawal of the participant beyond age 591/2 |
|
|
|
Death of the participant |
|
|
|
Hardship withdrawal |
|
|
|
Termination of employment for any reason |
Benefits due upon death are paid in a lump-sum and are based on the vested balances in the
participants accounts. Benefits due upon termination or withdrawal are paid in a lump-sum or
through installments payable monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually and are based on vested
balances in the participants accounts. In addition, terminated participants with benefits due in
excess of $5,000 may defer such benefits until age 701/2.
Vesting
Participants are immediately 100 percent vested in their contributions and actual earnings thereon,
regardless of length of service. Vesting of employer contributions to the Plan varies with
employment at the participating employer. The vesting period ranges from one year to three years.
Annual fixed contributions made to VRAM participants become fully vested after five years of
employment. A participant also becomes fully vested in his or her employer contribution account if
the participants severance date occurs after attaining age 65 or upon death or total and permanent
disability.
Investment Options
Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct contributions in any of several investment
options, including the Visteon Stock Fund, the Common Stock Fund, and other investment options
selected by the Plans Investment Committee.
Effective December 31, 2005, the Visteon Stock Fund was closed to new contributions and transfers.
All units held in the Visteon Stock Fund after June 30, 2006 will be liquidated. After the
liquidation process has been completed, all balances will be transferred to the default investment
fund, as specified in the Plan, unless redirected to a different fund by the participant.
Participants may elect an exchange out of the Visteon Stock Fund at any time prior to the transfer
to the default investment fund.

VISTEON 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
December 31, 2005 and 2004
NOTE A DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)
Transfers of Assets
The Plan permits the transfer of assets among investment options, with certain restrictions related
to transfers to the T. Rowe Price Funds and the Visteon Stock Fund.
Participant Loans
Participants may borrow from the Plan a minimum of $1,000. The maximum amount which may be
borrowed is 50 percent of their vested account balances, up to $50,000. Loans incur an interest
rate equal to the annual prime rate, as published by the Wall Street Journal. Repayment of any
loan is made through employee payroll deductions not less frequently than once per calendar
quarter; participants may also make additional payments on loans. A participant who is placed on a
leave of absence may also apply for a loan.
Forfeitures
The Plan permits Visteon to use assets forfeited by participants to pay Plan administrative
expenses. To the extent that forfeited assets are not available to pay certain administrative
expenses, Visteon pays such expenses. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, forfeited nonvested
amounts available to offset future administrative expenses totaled approximately $20,000 and $-0-,
respectively.
Administration
The Plan administrator is responsible for general administration of the Plan for the exclusive
benefit of the Plans participants and their beneficiaries, subject to the specific terms of the
Plan. Assets of the Plan are held and administered by Fidelity Management Trust Company
(Fidelity), the Plans trustee. It is Fidelitys responsibility to invest Plan assets in
accordance with participants directions, or as otherwise provided in the trust agreement, and to
distribute benefits to participants. Fidelity is also responsible for daily administration of Plan
activity. Fidelity Employer Services Company is responsible for payroll administration.
Dividends
Dividends that are distributed from the Visteon Stock Fund are automatically reinvested in the
fund, unless the participant elects to receive such dividends in cash.

VISTEON 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
December 31, 2005 and 2004
NOTE B SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Master Trust Participation
The Plan participates in the Visteon Corporation Master Trust (the Master Trust). See Note E for
details of the Plans participation in the Master Trust, as well as the valuation of the
investments in the Master Trust.
Investments
Participant loans receivable are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
Purchases and sales of Plan and Master Trust investment account securities are reflected on a
trade-date basis. Gains and losses on sales of securities are based on average costs. Dividend
income of the investment accounts is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income from other
investments is recorded as earned on an accrual basis.
Contributions
Employee contributions are recorded in the period that payroll deductions are made from
participants. Participants pre-tax and after-tax contributions are paid to the Plan when amounts
can be reasonably segregated.
Payment of Benefits
Plan benefits are recorded when paid.
Administrative Expenses
Brokerage fees associated with exchanges into and out of the Visteon Stock Fund, as well as
management fees for the Common Stock Fund and the Barclays Global Investors Bond Index Fund, are
paid from the respective fund assets. Other expenses of administering the Plan are paid either out
of forfeited assets or by Visteon and are not charged to the participants accounts.

VISTEON 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
December 31, 2005 and 2004
NOTE B SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities, at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of changes in net
assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Master Trust invests in various securities, including registered investment companies.
Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and
overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities,
it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the
near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements.
NOTE C INCOME TAX STATUS
The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on January 28, 2003, in which the Internal
Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter.
However, the Plan administrator and the Plans tax counsel believe that the Plan is currently
designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. Therefore,
no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plans financial statements.
NOTE D PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has expressed no intention to do so, Visteon has the right to terminate the Plan,
subject to the requirements of ERISA. In the event the Plan is terminated, the net assets
available to provide benefits would be distributed to the participants in proportion to their
respective account balances after payment of expenses properly charged against the Plan.
Termination of the Plan would not affect the rights of a participant as to the continuance of
investment, distribution, or withdrawal of the securities, cash, and cash value of the Visteon
Stock Fund units in the account of the participant as of the effective date of such termination.

VISTEON 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
December 31, 2005 and 2004
NOTE E MASTER TRUST INVESTMENTS
The Master Trust combines, for investment purposes, assets of the Visteon Investment Plan and the
Visteon 401(k) Savings Plan (collectively, the Plans). The assets of the Master Trust are held
in separate trust accounts.
The Plans hold units of the investment accounts, and each unit represents an equal undivided
interest in the assets of that investment account. Investment income and administrative expenses
relating to the Master Trust are allocated to the individual Plans based upon each Plans units as
a percentage of the total units of the Master Trust as of the valuation date. The percentage of
assets held by each of the Plans also may change by the purchase or sale of assets at each monthly
valuation date.
Estimated fair value amounts have been determined using available market information and various
valuation methods, depending on the type of instrument. In evaluating the fair value information,
considerable judgment is required to interpret the market data used to develop the estimates. The
use of different market assumptions and/or different valuation techniques may have a material
effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimates of fair value presented
herein may not be indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange.
The units of the investment accounts are valued at the end of each month based on the fair value of
the underlying assets as determined by Fidelity at those dates.
Investments in Visteon common stock and registered investment companies are valued at quoted market
prices existing on the regular monthly valuation dates. Interests in common and commingled trust
funds are valued at unit values based on the fair value of the underlying investments, estimated as
determined by Fidelity.
The Plans investments and, therefore, the Master Trusts investments are directed by participants
based on their elections.

NOTE F PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS
Certain Master Trust investments are shares of registered investment companies and units of
collective trusts managed by Fidelity Management and Research Company; Fidelity Management Trust
Company is the Plans trustee. Therefore, these transactions qualify as
party-in-interest transactions. Also, certain administrative expenses and investment management
service fees are paid by Visteon.
NOTE G LITIGATION
In March and April 2005, Visteon and a number of current and former employees, officers, and
directors were named as defendants in three class action lawsuits brought under ERISA in the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. In September 2005, the plaintiffs filed an
amended and consolidated complaint, which generally alleges that the defendants breached their
fiduciary duties under ERISA during the class period by, among other things, continuing to offer
Visteon stock as an investment alternative under the Plan and the Visteon Investment Plan
(collectively, the Plans), failing to disclose complete and accurate information regarding the
prudence of investing in Visteon stock, failing to monitor the actions of certain of the
defendants, and failing to avoid conflicts of interest or promptly resolve them. The consolidated
complaint was brought on behalf of a named plaintiff and a putative class consisting of all
participants or beneficiaries of the Plans whose accounts included Visteon stock at any time from
July 20, 2001 through May 25, 2005. Class action status has not yet been certified in this
litigation. In November 2005, the defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint
on various grounds.
Visteon and its current and former directors and officers intend to contest the foregoing lawsuits
vigorously. In addition, Visteon, its insurer and plaintiffs counsel are engaged in settlement
negotiations. However, at this time, it is not possible to predict with certainty the final
outcome of the foregoing lawsuits or the amount or range of any potential monetary relief that may
be payable to the Plans.
