Intelligent safety. Our safety
features are almost taken for granted
nowadays, but it doesn't mean we've
stopped adding new ones. Double
front seatbelt pretensioners and
adaptive brake lights are just two
examples of how Corsa achieves
such a high safety rating.
Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL). Night driving has always had the potential
to generate stress. New Corsa's advanced halogen AFL system projects the
headlight beams into curves and provides extra side illumination when making
extreme turns. The result: less stress, more safety. Optional on SE, SXi and SRi.
Static cornering light. Halogen
Adaptive Forward Lighting throws light
90 degrees left or right for enhanced
lateral vision. The system operates
up to 25mph, also while reversing.
See page 63 for more details.
Double pretensioners. Front seatbelt
pretensioners act on the diagonal
shoulder restraint on all models. And on
most models the lap belt too. So in the
event of a collision, they're ready to
interact with the front airbags and
compensate for lateral seat movement.
Daytime driving lights. As well as
providing a striking style accent on
the New Corsa the daytime running
lights improve your visibility to other
road users whatever the conditions.
Dynamic curve light. Halogen
Adaptive Forward Lighting moves the
headlight beams outwards up to 15
degrees left or right of the straight
ahead position when you turn the
steering wheel, helping improve your
vision of the approaching bend. See
page 63 for more details.
Airbags. Most Corsa models feature double-action front seatbelt pretensioners
and up to six airbags, including front seat side-impact and curtain airbags too.
Press a button on the centre console to deactivate the front passenger's airbag
and you can keep a rear-facing child seat up front.
Adaptive brake lights. ABS brakes
can shorten your stopping distance
in slippery road conditions, but what
about the driver behind you? With
Corsa, if the ABS is activated at over
18mph, your brake lights blink at five
times a second, warning the following
driver that you're emergency braking.
Security. Every Corsa features an
engine deadlock immobiliser as
standard. Expression models are
fitted with central locking whilst all
other models feature remote control
central deadlocking. There's also an
internal door locking switch for added
reassurance in the event of unwanted
attention from outside the car.
