Several modifications to all of the most important chassis components have resulted in a noticeably better driving comfort of the Opel Corsa whilst its agile driving characteristics are not compromised respectively further improved.
Find out more about advanced chassis technology features such as Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Interactive Driving System (IDS) and Electric Power Steering (EPS).
Advanced Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
In the Opel Corsa, ABS is much more than “just” ABS. It is the latest generation system incorporating a number of additional functions:
Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD): optimizes the braking performance according to the vehicle load.
Cornering Brake Control (CBC): improves stability when braking in curves by reducing brake pressure to the inner front wheel.
Straight Line Stability Control (SLS): detects and corrects any tendency to instability when braking in a straight line by reducing brake pressure to the relevant wheels.
The new Opel Corsa can be upgraded with the optional IDS (Interactive Driving System) chassis including following functions: Electronic Stability Program Plus (ESP®Plus) with Traction Control Plus (TCPlus) and with Enhanced Understeering Control (EUC). EUC optimizes the maneuverability in addition to standard ESP®. In case of ESP®Plus intervention, brake pressure is applied to up to four wheels for the most effective stabilization when needed.
The speed-sensitive power-assisted steering provides maximum assistance when parking, and ensures good road contact and steering precision at higher speed. An extra direct, high response system is optionally available on all trims.
