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:
High beam

High beam assist
This feature activates the high beam
when driving in dark surroundings
and the vehicle speed is faster than
45 km/h.

preceding vehicles...
In some cases, the active emergency
braking system may provide an
automatic braking in situations that
seem to be unnecessary, for instance
in parking garages, due to various
types of objects, i.e., traffic signs or
vehicles in another lane. This is
normal operation, the vehicle does
not need service...
