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:
Active emergency braking can help to
reduce the damage and injury from
crashes with vehicles and
pedestrians directly ahead, when the
driver does not actively take action
either by manual braking or by
steering. Before the active
emergency braking applies, the driver
is warned by the forward collision
alert...
Following a cold start, the operating
temperature programme increases
engine speed to quickly bring the
catalytic converter to the required
temperature.
Special programmes automatically
adapt the shifting points when driving
up inclines or down hills...
