INTELLIGENCE
ON BOARD
Rear cross traffic alert. As you reverse the car in a tricky parking situation
this system detects vehicles approaching from the rear and side of your
New Insignia. The car's speakers then emit an audible warning signal on
the relevant side of the car while an icon appears on one side of the
centre console display.
16 | Assistive technology
Technology that looks out for you. Modern driving conditions place unique demands on the driver. With this in mind, New Insignia
offers a comprehensive array of assistive technology options – designed to keep you fully in control, whatever the situation. Adaptive
cruise control with speed limiter function helps maintain a set distance to the car ahead. In addition to Opel's front camera system,
New Insignia breaks fresh ground with three additional radar-based systems: lane change alert, side blind spot alert and rear cross
traffic alert. All three systems are available as part of the optional Park and Go Technology Pack.
Lane change alert. This new feature monitors the lanes either side of your
vehicle. If you indicate to change lanes, a symbol flashes in the
appropriate door mirror to warn of any fast-approaching vehicles you
may not have seen.
Adaptive cruise control with forward collision alert and collision
imminent braking. Available in conjunction with front camera system, is
an advanced, proactive version of conventional cruise control for
preventing bumper-to-bumper collisions in moving traffic. Active above
walking speeds, it uses a powerful radar sensor to maintain your chosen
distance to the vehicle in front by controlling the accelerator and brakes
automatically. On automatic models it can even stop and assist you in
pulling away in bumper-to-bumper traffic. The system also incorporates
forward collision alert with integrated collision imminent braking. If you
approach slower-moving vehicles too fast, the system triggers visual and
audible warnings and gently applies the brakes – and makes them more
sensitive to increase the strength of your braking.
