Opel Corsa: Active emergency braking / Functionality
Depending on the vehicle
configuration and the detected
objects, there are several operational
speed ranges.
On vehicles equipped only with front
camera, the active emergency
braking operates from 5 km/h to
80 km/h when a vehicle has been
detected.
On vehicles equipped with radar
sensor and front camera, the active
emergency braking operates from
5 km/h to 140 km/h when a vehicle
has been detected.
Active emergency braking only works
when the seat belts of the front
passengers are fastened.
The system includes:
- brake preparation system
- emergency automatic braking
- smart brake assist
- forward collision alert
- front pedestrian protection
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...
When approaching a vehicle ahead
or a pedestrian so quickly that a
collision is likely, the brake
preparation system slightly
pressurises the brakes...
Other information:
Opening
Open the driver's door.
Pull the release lever and return it to
its original position.
Push the safety catch upwards and
open the bonnet.
Secure the bonnet support.
Closing
Before closing the bonnet, press the
support into the holder.
Lower the bonnet and let it fall into the
latch from a low height (20-25 cm)...
Antilock brake system (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking.
ABS starts to regulate brake pressure
as soon as a wheel shows a tendency
to lock. The vehicle remains
steerable, even during hard braking.
ABS control is made apparent
through a pulse in the brake pedal
and the noise of the regulation
process...
