Opel Corsa: Active emergency braking / Brake preparation system
When approaching a vehicle ahead
or a pedestrian so quickly that a
collision is likely, the brake
preparation system slightly
pressurises the brakes. This reduces
the response time, when braking is
requested.
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...
After activation of brake preparation
system and just before the imminent
collision, this function automatically
applies limited braking to reduce the
impact speed of the collision or
prohibit a crash...
Other information:
Caution
If the vehicle is equipped with alloy
wheels, tighten the wheel bolts
manually at least for the first five
turns.
There are two different types of
wheels with two different bolts and
tightening torques.
Tightening torque for alloy wheels is
115 Nm...
Use the adaptive cruise control
carefully on bends or mountain
roads, as it can lose the vehicle
ahead and needs time to detect it
again.
Do not use the system on
slippery roads as it can create
rapid changes in tyre traction
(wheel spinning), so that you
could lose control of the vehicle...
