A really 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 to illuminate the direction you're heading in.

Fitted as part of the optional Hill Start Assist pack, this innovative system constantly measures wheel speed to determine any tyre pressure loss.

Sometimes we need to set some limits. Preset a maximum speed and this handy safety device sounds an audible warning should it ever be exceeded. Settings can be stored and activated within the memory chips of individual car keys.

For added safety, when travelling at speeds of over 30 km/h, the rear brake lights flash five times to warn the driver in the vehicle behind that your ABS braking has been activated.

Central to Opel's unique SAFETEC® system is the extremely rigid passenger cell - helping to minimise potential damage to both the car and its passengers. In the case of a collision, impact energy is controlled and absorbed by 'crash boxes' and a monoblock system - drastically minimising repair costs.

The new Opel Corsa is fitted with front and side airbags for both the driver and co-driver. The passenger airbag can be deactivated at the touch of a button, giving you the freedom to safely use child seats on the front passenger seat. Club, SXi and Design models extend this protection further with head (curtain) airbags.

The Corsa's safety system has been so exhaustively engineered, that the protection doesn't just stop with passengers, but extends to pedestrians too. Low density foam and energy-absorbing features built into the bodywork offer maximum pedestrian protection in the event of an impact.

The new Corsa is the first car in its class to benefit from this extra protection. The pre-tensioners act not only on the shoulder restraint but also on the lap, working in conjunction with the front airbags, for maximum protection in the event of a collision.

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.

Opel's active head-restraint system is activated by upper body pressure during a collision, causing the head restraints to move forward and upward and reduce the risk of neck injury.
