A real bright idea to ensure the highest standards of safety even in the darkest conditions, the optional AFL is controlled by the movement of the steering wheel and your speed, and swivels round corners to illuminate the direction you're heading on.

Whether it's a wet roundabout or a greasy road, one day you might meet a slippery surface that catches you out. That's the day you'll be glad of the TwinTop's latest generation ESP-Plus (standard on Design models). Sensing if a car starts to slide, ESP-Plus quickly applies corrective braking to the appropriate wheels to help you regain control.

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Cornering Brake Control (CBC), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Emergency Brake Assist (BA) interact to help the driver maintain control.

The Astra TwinTop offers excellent occupant protection in the event of an accident. A rigid roll-over protection system is built into the head restraints and high-strength steel tubes are designed to ensure the safety of all passengers, should the vehicle threaten to roll over.

As part of the Opel SAFETEC safety system, this feature decouples the clutch and brake pedals under the force of a front impact, reducing the risk of foot and leg injuries.

This ingenious system checks that the driver and front passenger are wearing their seat belts. If they are not, a warning is conveyed.
