PREMIUM TECHNOLOGIES
FOR THE COMPACT CLASS
The ground-breaking full-LED matrix light of
the next generation enables driving with glarefree high beams and will be available in the
compact class for the first time in the Astra.
Consisting of 16 LED segments – eight on
each side of the vehicle – the new LED matrix
system automatically and constantly adapts
the length and distribution of the light beam to
every traffic situation. In the process, it works
with the Opel Eye front camera. As soon as
the vehicle exits urban areas, the high-beam
lighting is automatically switched on – and
it always remains on. At driving speeds of
80 km/h, drivers detect objects at the side
of the road around 30 to 40 meters sooner
than with conventional halogen or xenon low
beam lighting. This gives them around 1.5
seconds more time to react. Dazzling other
road users is also not a problem. When the
camera detects light sources from oncoming
or preceding traffic, individual LEDs in the relevant zone are deactivated, simply “cutting
out” the area around the vehicles. The rest of
the road and its surroundings remain brightly
illuminated. With this degree of precision and
adaptation, LED matrix light elevates lighting
technology to the next level.
Not only does the system illuminate the surroundings brighter than conventional lighting
systems, it also has a considerably longer run-
ning life than headlamps with halogen or xenon lamps. Another advantage is that mechanical movements are no longer necessary in
the headlamp – the individual LED segments
turn on or off according to the situation, which
also contributes to durability.
Apart from Opel OnStar and IntelliLux
LED®, future Astra owners can look forward
to a string of further safety, driver assistance
and comfort systems – many of which are
unrivalled in this segment. The Traffic Sign
Assistant and the Lane Keep Assist with Lane
Departure Warning along with Following Distance Indication and the Forward Collision
Alert with Collision Imminent Braking not only
make driving the new Astra more comfortable but also safer. Cruise control with speed
limiter ensures that the speed is always within
the legal boundaries. Advanced Park Assist
increases comfort and can park the car automatically at the push of a button. The rear
view camera is activated once reverse gear is
selected. And Side Blind Spot Alert recognizes obstacles within a 3-meter radius on either
side and behind the car that are hidden from
the driver’s vision.
The AGR (Campaign for Healthy Backs) tested and certified ergonomic seats are also
outstanding. They continue Opel’s tradition
in excellent, ergonomic seats and now come
with additional comfort features. The new
Opel Astra will offer 18-way adjustable seats
for the driver. They have a massage function,
ventilation and seat-width setting. And the rear
passengers can also look forward to more
comfort than before with the two heatable outer back seats available as an option.
