Opel Corsa: Forward collision alert / System limitations
Forward collision alert is designed to
warn on vehicles, but may react also
to other objects.
In the following cases, forward
collision alert may not detect a vehicle
ahead or sensor performance is
limited:
- driving on winding or hilly roads
- driving during nighttime
- weather limits visibility, such as
fog, rain, or snow
- the sensor in the windscreen or
the radar unit behind the front
bumper are blocked by snow, ice,
slush, mud, dirt etc.
- the windscreen is damaged or
affected by foreign objects, e.g.
stickers
The system can only be deactivated
by deactivating the active emergency
braking in the vehicle personalisation. When ignition is switched on
next time, system is activated...
Front pedestrian protection may help
to avoid or reduce the harm caused
by front-end crashes with pedestrians
when driving forward.
The system uses the front camera in
the windscreen and depending on the
vehicle configuration a radar unit in
the front bumper to detect a
pedestrian directly ahead in the path...
Other information:
Brake assist
If brake pedal is depressed quickly
and forcefully, maximum brake force
is automatically applied.
Operation of brake assist might
become apparent by a pulse in the
brake pedal and a greater resistance
when depressing the brake pedal...
The system monitors the driver's level
of vigilance at speeds above
65 km/h. A camera at the top of the
windscreen detects variations in
trajectory compared to the lane
markings.
If the trajectory of the vehicle
suggests a certain level of
drowsiness or inattention by the
driver, the system triggers the first
level of alert...
