Side Airbag System; Curtain Airbag System; Active Head Restraints; Parking Distance Sensors - Vauxhall Corsa Owner's Manual

Side airbag system 3

The side airbag system triggers when a
side-on collision occurs and provides a
safety barrier for the driver and/or
passenger in the respective front door
area. This reduces the risk of injury to the
upper body considerably in case of a side
impact.

Curtain airbag system 3

The curtain airbag system triggers in case
of a side-on collision and provides a safety
barrier in the head area on the respective
side of the vehicle. This reduces the risk of
injury to the head considerably in case of a
side-on collision.

Active head restraints

3
In the event of a rear-end impact, the
active head restraints automatically tilt
forward a little. The head is more
effectively supported by the head restraint
and the danger of injuries caused by
hyperextension in the neck area is reduced.
Active head restraints are identified by the
lettering ACTIVE on the head restraint
guide bushes.

Parking distance sensors

The parking distance sensors
automatically switch on when reversing.
If the vehicle approaches an obstacle when
reversing, a series of signals can be heard
in the vehicle interior. The interval between
the signals becomes shorter as the
distance is reduced. If the distance is less
than 30 cm, the signal will be continuous.
