Opel 2009 Zafira Brochure & Specs page 15

Interactive Driving System (IDS-plus).
This optional system senses changes in
the vehicle dynamics and automatically
adjusts the damper rates – in real time.
The result is confident cornering and
sharper handling with reduced body
roll. Pretty smart for seven-seater
compact MPV. For further information
please see page 39.
ESP-plus. Especially useful on
wet roundabouts and greasy roads or
whenever a slippery surface catches
you out, the optional Electronic Stability
Programme (ESP-plus), senses if the car
starts to slide on a bend and applies
corrective braking to the appropriate
wheels to help you regain control. For
further information please see page 38.
Sport switch. Sports performance
to suit your mood. Hit the optional Sport
switch and you get a sharper throttle
and more responsive steering. With
optional IDS-plus you also get sportier
chassis dynamics with more body
control. It also controls the automatic
transmission's Sport mode. For further
information please see page 39.
Six-speed. Zafira comes with
a six-speed manual gearbox as
standard on all 2.2i 16v, 1.7CDTi and
1.9CDTi 150PS engines. Others come
with a five-speed manual as standard,
with four- and six-speed automatic
and five-speed Easytronic transmission
options also available at extra cost.
Automatic transmission. The
electronically-controlled, six-speed
automatic has an adaptive driving
function and a Winter mode, which
selects third gear for standing starts in
slippery conditions. It's available on both
1.9CDTi diesels. A four-speed automatic
is available on 2.2i 16v Direct models.
Easytronic transmission. Choose
the optional Easytronic transmission
and you'll get a five-speed manual
gearbox with a fully automatic mode.
In manual mode, you simply push the
lever forward or back to shift gears
up or down. The facia display tells
you what gear you're in – 1 to 5, N for
Neutral or A for Auto. Switch to fully
automatic mode and it has many of
the features of a regular automatic
including a kickdown function. There's
no clutch pedal so you can drive it on
an automatic-only driving licence.
