Opel Corsa: Exterior lighting / LED headlights

The Matrix-LED headlight system contains a variety of particular LEDs in each headlight which enables the control of the adaptive forward lighting functions.

Light distribution and intensity of light are variably triggered depending on the lighting conditions, road type and driving situation. The vehicle adapts the headlights automatically to the situation to enable optimal light performance for the driver.

The adaptive forward lighting and the Matrix-LED headlights functions can be deactivated or activated in the vehicle personalisation menu.

The glare-free high beam function of the Matrix-LED headlights are only available with light switch in position AUTO.

Country light

Activated automatically at a speed above 50 km/h when driving in rural areas. The illumination of the current lane and the side of the road is adapted. Oncoming and preceding vehicles are not dazzled.

Town light

Activated automatically at a speed up to approx. 50 km/h. The light is wide and symmetrical.

Cornering light

Activated at a speed of up to 40 km/h when turning off. The light consists of particular LEDs which illuminate the direction of travel. These LEDs are triggered depending on the steering angle or the activation of the turn lights.

Curve light

Particular LEDs, based on steering angle and speed, are additionally triggered to improve lighting in curves. This function is activated at speeds from 40 km/h to 70 km/h.

Glare-free high beam

Warning

The glare-free high beam function may dazzle other road users when the vehicle is driven in countries where traffic moves on the opposite side of the road. E.g. when the vehicle was designed for left hand drive traffic and it is driven in a country with right hand drive traffic.

Switch off glare-free high beam function whenever you are driving in countries mentioned above!

The system enables a glare-free high beam when driving in dark surroundings.

Each LED on right or left side is triggered or faded out particularly according to the traffic situation. This gives the best light distribution without dazzling other road users.

Glare-free high beam is switched on automatically at a speed above 50 km/h. It is switched off at a speed below 35 km/h, but the system remains active.

Motorway mode

Activated automatically at a speed above 105 km/h. Illumination is adapted to the higher speed driven on motorways. If there is no oncoming traffic, the visibility on the side of the vehicle is increased. When following vehicles ahead or passing, dazzling for these vehicles is reduced.

Fault in LED headlight system

When the system detects a failure in the LED headlight system, it selects a preset position to avoid dazzling of oncoming traffic. A warning is displayed in the Driver Information Centre.
