Opel Corsa: Driver assistance systems / Active emergency braking

Active emergency braking can help to reduce the damage and injury from crashes with vehicles and pedestrians directly ahead, when the driver does not actively take action either by manual braking or by steering. Before the active emergency braking applies, the driver is warned by the forward collision alert.

Active emergency braking can be deactivated in the vehicle personalisation. If deactivated, illuminates in the instrument cluster and a warning message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. When ignition is switched on next time, system is activated.

The feature uses various inputs (e.g. camera sensor, radar sensor, brake pressure, vehicle speed) to calculate the probability of a frontal collision.

Warning

This system is not intended to replace the driver responsibility for driving the vehicle and looking ahead. Its function is limited to supplemental use only to reduce the vehicle speed before a collision.

The system may not react to animals. After a sudden lane change, the system needs a certain time to detect the next preceding vehicle.

The driver must always be ready to take action and apply the brakes and steer to avoid collisions.

Warning

The usage of a license plate support may have an impact on the proper operation of the radar unit and may limit sensor perfomance. Vehicles or pedestrians driving or walking ahead may not be detected by the system.

Do not use a a license plate support to ensure proper system functionality.
