New <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong>.<br />

The flexibility champion.<br />

In 1999 the <strong>Opel</strong> Zafira with its unique Flex7® seating<br />

system revolutionised the compact monocab segment.<br />

Four years later the <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> brought the concept of<br />

the <strong>Opel</strong> Zafira into the small monocab segment. Its<br />

innovative FlexSpace® seating concept appealed to<br />

older, socially active customers and young families.<br />

The new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> was developed to build and improve<br />

upon proven strengths and to set new standards<br />

in flexibility, combined with an upmarket, high quality<br />

impact that would exceed all the expectations in this<br />

class.<br />

• Its revolutionary FlexDoors® concept enables<br />

comfortable and ergonomically optimal access to the<br />

rear seats and offers many other advantages in<br />

everyday use.<br />

• The successful FlexSpace® seating concept has been<br />

optimised for ease of use.<br />

• The exclusive FlexRail® aluminium centre console<br />

system and up to 32 storage possibilities are unique in<br />

this class.<br />

3<br />

But the new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> has far more to offer than just<br />

unique flexibility:<br />

• Compared to the previous model the new <strong>Meriva</strong> is a<br />

totally new development in which many technological<br />

and component advances of the <strong>Opel</strong> Astra have been<br />

incorporated.<br />

• The refined design is also aimed to win customers from<br />

the premium class, for example the Mercedes A class.<br />

• Efficient and fun to drive, downsized petrol engines<br />

make the purchase decision easier.<br />

We have assembled the most important facts,<br />

arguments, and background of the new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> on<br />

the following pages. As you will see, the new <strong>Opel</strong><br />

<strong>Meriva</strong> has all it takes and more, to bring a new impetus<br />

to the successful career of the previous model.

Flexibility<br />

The possibility to alter the inner<br />

configuration of the car with just a few easy<br />

adjustments to fit everyday requirements is<br />

a major sales criterion for <strong>Meriva</strong> customers.<br />

The new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> offers a versatile<br />

seating system that is easier to operate than<br />

ever before, and with exclusive innovations<br />

in storage and luggage transport it<br />

comfortably outperforms all of its<br />

competitors in terms of ergonomic flexibility.<br />

Ergonomics<br />

Well thought out ergonomics are a<br />

foundation stone for high comfort levels. The<br />

new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> enlivens the automotive<br />

every-day in every respect – from<br />

comfortable entry and exit to the high<br />

seating position with excellent outward<br />

vision and ergonomically correct seat<br />

positioning through to ergonomically<br />

optimised loading and unloading.<br />

Feel-good factor<br />

Customers in the <strong>Meriva</strong> target groups have<br />

a highly emotional relationship with their<br />

cars, often regarding them as a mobile<br />

household or an extension of their home.<br />

This characteristic is further strengthened in<br />

the new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> by many class-leading<br />

comfort features, high quality seat covering<br />

and trim materials, and active safety<br />

systems that relax the driving experience.<br />

Design<br />

The design of the new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> stands in<br />

marked contrast to the overriding<br />

functionality of most rivals. A powerful<br />

physical presence, flowing lines, and<br />

recognisable features from the new <strong>Opel</strong><br />

design language combine to provide an<br />

impression of high quality elegance that is<br />

further underlined by the interior.<br />

A half class higher<br />

With a longer wheelbase and markedly wider<br />

track fore and aft, the new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong><br />

makes a powerful first impression, and both<br />

handling and comfort have benefited.<br />

The increased length, a tribute to pedestrian<br />

protection legislation, and the wider<br />

bodywork mean that the <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> has<br />

grown out of its current segment and now<br />

has an intermediate position between small<br />

and compact monocabs.<br />

That means it also appeals to new target<br />

groups who want a “grown-up” car.

Market<br />

Young families<br />

These customers are future oriented and use<br />

their cars for family activities such as<br />

shopping and school runs. In addition they<br />

are active in their free time, for instance<br />

driving to the starting point of a cycling trip.<br />

Besides high levels of flexibility they expect<br />

modern, stylish design. This gives the new<br />

<strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> a clear and convincing<br />

advantage.<br />

Older couples without children<br />

Although traditionally conservative in<br />

outlook, these people are active seniors who<br />

take friends with them and care for their<br />

grandchildren. The <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> has<br />

established a tradition of strength with this<br />

target group. For this reason they will<br />

continue to be an important customer base.<br />

Additional potential<br />

With its outstanding design and high<br />

functionality the new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> not only<br />

appeals to both primary target groups, but<br />

also to customers in other market segments,<br />

among them families with children who<br />

actually drive a compact monocab, station<br />

wagon or saloon.<br />

Older customers who look for a prestigious<br />

car with high seating position with easy<br />

ingress and egress and superior<br />

functionality will also be attracted by the<br />

new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong>.


New <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong>.<br />

A winning first impression.<br />

Expressive design meets flexibility<br />

The <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> is the first car to pack the<br />

full versatility of a small monocab into a<br />

dynamic and expressive design.<br />

It is a logical expression and interpretation<br />

of the <strong>Opel</strong> design language successfully<br />

introduced by the Astra.<br />

• The windscreen is pulled forward, forming<br />

an unbroken line with the bonnet, which<br />

bears the characteristic <strong>Opel</strong> centre<br />

crease, delivering optimum outward vision.<br />

• The eagle-eye headlights are similar to<br />

those of the <strong>Opel</strong> Astra, adding a high<br />

quality appearance and incorporating the<br />

“wing” shape daylight running lights that<br />

are a part of the current <strong>Opel</strong> design<br />

signature.<br />

• The form of the headlights is echoed by<br />

the openings carrying the fog lights.<br />

• The trapezoid grille with the broad chrome<br />

strip housing the 3-D form of the <strong>Opel</strong> logo<br />

conveys self-confidence.<br />

• The V form of the grille and front bumper<br />

also carry an <strong>Opel</strong> family resemblance.<br />

Flowing lines.<br />

Elegant and purposeful<br />

The impressive silhouette of the new <strong>Opel</strong><br />

<strong>Meriva</strong> underlines its dynamic character<br />

while simultaneously highlighting its<br />

practicality.<br />

• The long wheelbase and recognisably<br />

longer overall length highlight the<br />

generous spaciousness.<br />

• The shallow curve of the A pillars elegantly<br />

merges into the gently rearward sloping<br />

roof, giving a sporting impression.<br />

• The window profile with the pronounced<br />

wave form behind the B pillar draws<br />

attention to the innovative door system<br />

and adds a dynamic accent.<br />

• In addition it improves the outward vision<br />

of the rear passengers.<br />

• The feature line extends from the front<br />

wings right through the shoulder contour<br />

into the rear light clusters.<br />

• The blade form side sculpture, first seen on<br />

the <strong>Opel</strong> Astra, builds a dramatic<br />

counterpoint against the feature and<br />

window lines.<br />

The perfect ending.<br />

Powerful and high class<br />

The rear design underlines the individuality<br />

and premium character of the new <strong>Opel</strong><br />

<strong>Meriva</strong>. Right from the first glance the<br />

recognisably wider track conveys a dynamic,<br />

powerful impression.<br />

• The rear window is framed by a V-formed<br />

graphic that draws attention to the 3-D<br />

<strong>Opel</strong> logo and includes the number plate.<br />

• The rear window glass is visually extended<br />

by a high-gloss black panel which<br />

increases the perception of its size.<br />

• The three-dimensional rear light cluster<br />

extends into the shoulder area and reflects<br />

the <strong>Opel</strong> specific design of the front lights.<br />

The horizontal line of the tailgate chrome<br />

bar is complemented by the reversing light<br />

lenses, creating a greater impression of<br />

width.<br />

The feel-good factor at its best.<br />

Perfect ergonomics, high quality materials<br />

The interior of the new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong><br />

confirms the high expectations aroused by<br />

the exterior style. Harmonious flowing<br />

contours, high quality throughout, with<br />

ergonomics thought out to the last detail,<br />

deliver a special ambience that is unique in<br />

this class.<br />

• The wrap-around dashboard flows<br />

seamlessly into the door trims and gives a<br />

friendly and welcoming atmosphere.<br />

• The high seating position and low<br />

mounted dashboard, together with the<br />

extreme forward location of the<br />

windscreen delivers a generous feeling of<br />

space and commanding outside vision.<br />

• The driver-oriented, lowered position of<br />

the instrument panel further contributes<br />

to the feeling of spaciousness.<br />

• The slim A pillars and large triangular side<br />

9<br />

front windows deliver optimal visibility.<br />

• The high positioned gear lever and the<br />

adjacent location of the infotainment and<br />

air-conditioning controls enable<br />

ergonomically intuitive operation.<br />

• The high position of the colour navigation<br />

screen puts it in optimum view.<br />

• Unequalled storage possibilities for driver<br />

and passengers from the unique FlexRail ®<br />

system, and up to 25 storages in the<br />

interior and seven in the luggage<br />

compartment.<br />

• Class-leading travel and height<br />

adjustment of the front seats offers<br />

perfect positioning for everybody.<br />

• The intuitive and easy-to-operate<br />

FlexSpace ® seat system adapts<br />

comfortably to all needs.<br />

New <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong>.<br />

Getting in and out was never easier.<br />

A quantum leap in ergonomic flexibility<br />

For the development team of the new <strong>Opel</strong><br />

<strong>Meriva</strong> the vision was always clear: to<br />

develop a car that is the most flexible<br />

5-seater small monocab.<br />

To do this they analysed not only the<br />

demands, but also the way that these<br />

customers used their cars. With the <strong>Opel</strong><br />

<strong>Meriva</strong>, regardless of the age of the<br />

customer, the rear seats are in frequent daily<br />

use, as opposed to the occasional<br />

occupancy of other small cars.<br />

From this research the idea arose to offer<br />

these customers something better or more<br />

suitable to their needs, and at the same<br />

time to set a new standard in ergonomics<br />

and flexibility.<br />

10<br />

The unique FlexDoors ® system is the result of<br />

this direction of thought. The opposite<br />

opening portal doors offer distinct<br />

advantages in everyday use to all customer<br />

target groups.<br />

• Getting in or out of the rear seats takes<br />

place where the roof is at its highest point,<br />

making it much more comfortable.<br />

• The B pillar allows – in contrast to other<br />

portal door systems without B pillar – the<br />

independent opening of front and rear<br />

doors.<br />

• The 84º opening angle of the rear doors<br />

enables a natural and ergonomic body<br />

motion during ingress and egress that is<br />

further aided by the large handle on the<br />

B pillar.<br />

• In tight parking spaces entry is easier,<br />

since no contortions around the half open<br />

door are needed.<br />

• Four opening stages mean that opening<br />

the doors in tight spaces is better<br />

controlled.<br />

Ergonomics<br />

• For parents the FlexDoors ® system offers a<br />

clear advantage when securing children in<br />

or releasing them from their child seats, as<br />

well as mounting the child seats.<br />

• When both front and rear doors are open,<br />

a safety zone is created in which it is easier<br />

to control children leaving the car, parents<br />

are closer to the children and not<br />

separated by the rear door.<br />

• In use the FlexDoors ® system eases loading<br />

and unloading, for instance while shopping<br />

or carrying more unusual loads.<br />

• A light mounted in the lower B pillar<br />

illuminates the ground beside the car,<br />

adding yet another convenient safety<br />

feature.<br />

• Finally the FlexDoors ® system makes<br />

access to the FlexSpace ® easier, making it<br />

even more simple to reconfigure the<br />

interior.

Portal doors, a brief history<br />

Due to their convenience opposite opening<br />

portal doors eased access to the rear seats<br />

even in the days of horse-drawn carriages.<br />

They were also common on early luxury cars.<br />

However, as automotive performance increased<br />

the door lock technology did not<br />

keep pace. Due to the resulting safety concerns<br />

they were banned in 1961.<br />

One exception was made for the legendary<br />

London taxis, to enable the passengers to<br />

enter comfortably even when wearing a hat.<br />

Since 2006 a new ECE regulation ensuring<br />

maximum safety and security opened the<br />

path for the reintroduction of rear-hinged<br />

doors. They are an outstanding feature of<br />

the new Rolls-Royce Phantom and have been<br />

seen on special models from, among others,<br />

Mazda and Mini.<br />

The new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> with the FlexDoors ®<br />

system is the first vehicle that offers the advantages<br />

of portal doors with independent<br />

opening.<br />

More access space<br />

As opposed to conventional doors that usually<br />

open to about 67° the portal doors of<br />

the new <strong>Meriva</strong> open to 84°. This means they<br />

offer more room for comfortable, ergonomically<br />

optimal entry and exit, made even easier<br />

by the large handle on the B pillar.<br />

Safety zone<br />

As the diagram on the left shows, with both<br />

front and rear doors open there is a partially<br />

enclosed area. This creates a secure feeling<br />

and makes it easier to control children as<br />

they step in or out of the car. This safety feature<br />

will especially appeal to younger family<br />

customers.<br />

Arguments<br />

• Unique door system with the comfort<br />

features of a luxury limousine<br />

• Comfortable access and exit<br />

• Easier access in tight parking spaces<br />

• Ergonomically perfect access to child<br />

seats<br />

• Better child control on entry or exit<br />

• Easier to load or unload

In addition all FlexDoors ® logic-related<br />

connections, modules, and cables are<br />

permanently and constantly monitored and<br />

checked. In case of any failure a strong<br />

visual and audio warning is sounded.<br />

Optimal side impact protection<br />

As opposed to other cars with portal doors,<br />

the new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> has a substantial B<br />

pillar. This gives the following benefits:<br />

• Front and rear doors can be opened<br />

independently of each other<br />

• Better side-impact protection<br />

• Higher strength and stability throughout<br />

the bodywork that in turn increases the<br />

premium-quality feeling<br />

Ergonomics<br />

Smart advanced safety logic<br />

<strong>Meriva</strong> customers, whether old or young,<br />

have a high level of safety consciousness.<br />

With this in mind the safety systems of the<br />

new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> received high priority. They<br />

were conceived to deliver maximum safety<br />

under all imaginable circumstances, without<br />

disturbing the comfort or demanding more<br />

attention from the driver or passengers. To<br />

fulfil this aim <strong>Opel</strong> engineers worked<br />

together with one of the world’s leading<br />

research institutes.<br />

The Fraunhofer Institute IPA has developed<br />

much of the underlying technology that we<br />

use every day without thinking about it. For<br />

example the MP3 technology that enabled<br />

today’s leading audio technology.<br />

The FlexDoors ® safety system developed in<br />

combination with the Fraunhofer Institute<br />

contains the analysed data from some 1,000<br />

system configurations and activities.<br />

Specially constructed robots were used for<br />

all the long-term component tests to ensure<br />

the functional reliability and safety of the<br />

mechanical closing elements and the<br />

electronic control modules.

Premium-class adjustment<br />

The standard driver’s seat of the new <strong>Opel</strong><br />

<strong>Meriva</strong> sets new class standards. It is directly<br />

derived from the current generation of <strong>Opel</strong><br />

seating. It is not only supremely comfortable<br />

and supportive, it also has the longest travel<br />

and height adjustment in this segment:<br />

• 240 mm travel<br />

• 65 mm height adjustment (best in class)<br />

Together with the standard tilt and<br />

telescope steering column and the high<br />

mounted shifter, this enables every driver to<br />

find their ideal driving position, while<br />

enjoying a level of comfort previously only<br />

available in premium-class cars.<br />

Improved all-round vision<br />

In addition to the high seating position,<br />

good external vision is a major buying<br />

consideration for monocab customers. The<br />

large, forward mounted windscreen with slim<br />

A pillars and wide triangular front side<br />

windows, together with the deep lower<br />

window line and generous glass area of the<br />

rear doors, ensures optimal all-round<br />

external vision.<br />

Intuitive operation<br />

The gear lever of the new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> has<br />

been mounted higher, ensuring that the<br />

hand falls directly and comfortably onto it.<br />

In addition the shallow angle of the centrally<br />

mounted controls for the infotainment and<br />

air conditioning enables optimal ergonomic<br />

operation.<br />

The following ergonomic details also help<br />

make the driving day easier.<br />

• The controls for the power windows are not<br />

vertical, but installed at the natural angle<br />

taken by the hand as it reaches for them.<br />

Arguments<br />

• Class-leading adjustment of the front<br />

seats<br />

• Tilt and telescope steering column is<br />

standard equipment<br />

• Much improved external vision<br />

• Ideally positioned gear lever and<br />

controls

system sets the standards for interior<br />

flexibility for the whole class.<br />

The basic advantage of FlexSpace ® , that the<br />

rear seats stay in the car and fold into the<br />

floor to give a flat load space, remains<br />

unchanged. The system was optimised for<br />

easier and more intuitive operation.<br />

• The back seats can be folded as easily<br />

from the passenger cabin as from the<br />

luggage compartment. This was not<br />

possible previously.<br />

• Only one unlocking operation is necessary<br />

to fold the seat backs and the seats into<br />

the floor, on the current <strong>Meriva</strong> two<br />

operations are needed.<br />

• The outer seats can be moved<br />

independently forward to create more<br />

space in the luggage compartment.<br />

• When the centre seat is folded, sliding the<br />

outer seats backwards automatically<br />

brings them closer to each other, so giving<br />

extra leg- and shoulderroom for maximum<br />

4-seater comfort.

• An especially practical feature is the loadspace<br />

floor. In the higher position, with the<br />

rear seats folded flat, it offers a flat load<br />

space, making loading and unloading easier.<br />

Under the floor there is a covered compartment,<br />

offering another 86 litres of useful<br />

behind the rear seats is maximised.<br />

• Closed storage compartments in the side<br />

walls of the luggage compartment are<br />

standard on the new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong>.<br />

• A hard cargo tray with anti-slip surface<br />

protects the interior against dirt and wet<br />

Flexibility<br />

FlexRail ® centre console<br />

A standard feature of the new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> is<br />

the advantageous electric parking brake.<br />

One of the benefits gained from this is that<br />

in combination with the high mounted gear<br />

lever, a large storage space is freed between<br />

the front seats. The unique new FlexRail ®<br />

aluminium rail system uses this to maximum<br />

advantage, providing highly versatile<br />

modular multi-level storage capacity.<br />

• In the standard lower console there are<br />

two cupholders and two storage spaces for<br />

mobile phones, MP3 players, etc., with 12-<br />

V power outlet and optional aux-in and<br />

USB connection.<br />

• In the Cosmo the aluminium rails of the<br />

FlexRail ® system are added. It holds an<br />

extra cupholder module that can be slid<br />

and positioned anywhere in the system,<br />

allowing it to be used by front or back seat<br />

occupants. In addition, it features a<br />

comfortable armrest with a closed storage<br />

that can be conveniently slid and fixed into<br />

position anywhere along the upper rails.<br />

• When the cupholders and armrest are<br />

pushed rearwards, a roomy, protected<br />

storage space between the rails offers<br />

easily accessible space for a notebook<br />

computer or a handbag.<br />

• When not needed, all the moveable<br />

components can be easily and quickly<br />

removed.<br />

• The console lighting ensures that even at<br />

night there is illumination enough to find<br />

whatever is stored.<br />

• A special adapter for the middle rear seat<br />

back allows the modular FlexRail ® armrest<br />

and cupholder modules to be mounted on<br />

the forward folded seatback for the rear<br />

passengers.

Flexibility<br />

Up to 32 storage possibilities<br />

Easily reached, flexible, and usefully sized<br />

storage spaces that can cope with almost<br />

any realistic and everyday demand were<br />

given the highest priority in the new <strong>Opel</strong><br />

<strong>Meriva</strong>.<br />

• <strong>Opel</strong> researches issued a questionnaire to<br />

over 400 customers to define the most<br />

frequently used items in a car.<br />

• The aim was to find an easily accessible<br />

place for the top 20 items of their<br />

requirements.<br />

With up to 32 open and closed storage<br />

possibilities this aim was not only met, it was<br />

comfortably surpassed.<br />

In addition to the FlexRail ® centre console,<br />

the new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> offers:<br />

• Front door pockets with 1.5-litre PET bottle<br />

capacity<br />

• Driver’s open and closed personal<br />

dashboard storage<br />

• Divided glove box with coin/pen holders,<br />

the handbook can be stored on a separate<br />

New <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong>.<br />

Convenience, comfort, and refinement.<br />

19<br />

NOTE: Navigation screen not available in South Africa<br />

Comfort<br />

Comfort is not a matter of class<br />

Even the small cars and vans attract<br />

customers who want a high level of comfort<br />

and equipment that not only makes the car<br />

more attractive in everyday use, but also<br />

adds to its prestige and value.<br />

Manual air conditioning<br />

The air recirculation of the manual air<br />

conditioning is push-button operated and<br />

also has an electronically controlled<br />

compressor to reduce fuel consumption.<br />

Electronic Climate Control (ECC)<br />

Efficient air management with low noise<br />

levels even at full power is a feature of the<br />

ECC in the new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong>. It uses a<br />

patented regulation system to ensure<br />

especially consistent and comfortable air<br />

conditioning. It is dual-zone, allowing both<br />

the driver and front passenger to select and<br />

set their ideal temperature.<br />

Other features:<br />

• Sun sensor to control the air stream and<br />

temperature<br />

• Air quality sensor with auto recirculation<br />

• Integrated charcoal and particle filter<br />

• Menu-controlled user input over the<br />

standard Graphic Info Display<br />

• The specific temperature and fan settings<br />

are stored in the ignition key<br />

• The electronically controlled compressor<br />

reduces fuel consumption and maintains<br />

natural humidity levels


Daylight running lights<br />

The daylight running lights use very little<br />

power, so saving fuel, while at the same time<br />

providing maximum daylight visibility.<br />

Panorama sunroof<br />

The full-width panorama sunroof of the new<br />

<strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> stretches over the first and second<br />

seat row, giving a light and airy ambience.<br />

To protect against too much sun it has<br />

an electrically operated sunshade.<br />

20<br />

Front and rear Park Assist<br />

The Park Assist has front- and rear-mounted<br />

sensors to detect possible parking obstacles<br />

and sound warning of potential collisions. It<br />

is automatically activated by selecting reverse<br />

gear, but for forward parking can also<br />

be manually activated.<br />

Comfort<br />

Electric parking brake<br />

The all new electric parking brake is a<br />

standard feature on <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong>. It replaces<br />

the conventional manual parking brake and<br />

interacts with several other functions.<br />

• It can feasibly be operated with one finger,<br />

even in fully loaded condition on steep<br />

slopes.<br />

• Auto-Drive-Away allows the customer to<br />

launch the vehicle without prior manual<br />

parking brake release. This is a huge<br />

benefit, especially on gradients where the<br />

driver typically needs to balance clutch<br />

and accelerator pedal with parking brake<br />

to avoid possible roll back.<br />

In combination with the optional Hill Start<br />

Assist this also eases starting on gradients<br />

without using the parking brake.<br />

Arguments<br />

• Standard electric parking brake with<br />

automatic release<br />

• Light, airy cabin with panorama<br />

sunroof


New <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong>.<br />

Advanced passive and active safety.<br />

Active headrests<br />

Improved driver and front passenger safety<br />

is provided by the <strong>Opel</strong> active headrests.<br />

• The risk of neck injuries, such as whiplash,<br />

is significantly reduced.<br />

• Unlike other systems the headrests can be<br />

reinstalled after removal without professional<br />

assistance.<br />

Pedal Release System (PRS)<br />

The Pedal Release System is a patented <strong>Opel</strong><br />

safety feature that automatically releases<br />

the pedals in a major crash situation, so<br />

helping avoid foot and lower leg injuries in<br />

the footwell. The system was further developed<br />

for the new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong>.<br />

21<br />

NOTE: Navigation screen not available in South Africa<br />

ISOFIX child seat system<br />

The ISOFIX child seat fixing system is<br />

standard on the outer rear seats of all new<br />

<strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong>s.<br />

• The secure attachment of the seats to the<br />

body structure improves the safety.<br />

• The seats are easily fitted or removed, the<br />

Top Tether Kit also guards against tipping<br />

forwards.<br />

Security restraint system<br />

The new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> is equipped with front<br />

and side airbags for driver and front<br />

passenger; from Enjoy curtain airbags are<br />

also standard. The front passenger airbag<br />

can be switch-deactivated for child seat use.<br />

A special safety feature is the use of double<br />

pre-tensioned front seat belts. In a crash,<br />

these keep the driver and front passenger in<br />

the ideal position for the airbags to offer<br />

optimal protection. All the seats in the new<br />

<strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> are equipped with seat belt<br />

warning.<br />

Safety<br />

Passive safety<br />

The basis of passive safety in the new <strong>Opel</strong><br />

<strong>Meriva</strong> is a rigid passenger cell that has<br />

minimum deformation, providing maximum<br />

protection to all occupants.<br />

• Within and around this high-tensile steels<br />

are used.<br />

• In a front or rear collision crumple zones<br />

absorb and diffuse crash energy<br />

throughout the structure.<br />

• Special deformation elements front and<br />

rear absorb energy in low-impact crashes,<br />

so saving money on repair costs.<br />

Repair-friendly construction<br />

The new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> follows the<br />

recommendations of the Research Council<br />

for Automobile Repairs (RCAR), an<br />

international organisation of insurers. The<br />

bumpers are mounted to avoid over- or<br />

under-running another vehicle in case of an<br />

accident. In addition expensive parts such<br />

as the headlights and radiator, special<br />

mounting elements that react to a low speed<br />

accident, guard them against damage. The<br />

advantage of this is that the new <strong>Opel</strong><br />

<strong>Meriva</strong> receives lower vehicle insurance<br />

premium classification.<br />

Adaptive brake lights and automatic<br />

hazard warning lights<br />

The adaptive brake lights warn following<br />

traffic by blinking rapidly (5 x per second),<br />

when the ABS is activated at over 30 km/h.<br />

When the airbags are released the hazard<br />

warning lights are automatically activated.<br />

Pedestrian Protection<br />

The special construction of the front<br />

bumper, with harder lower section and<br />

impact-absorbent higher section, reduces<br />

the risk of leg and knee injuries. In case of a<br />

pedestrian head impact, the bonnet is<br />

impact-absorbent to minimise injury.<br />

Arguments<br />

• Crash-optimised high tensile steel<br />

safety structure<br />

• Lower insurance classification<br />

• Six airbags for all-round protection<br />

• Switch-deactivated front passenger<br />

airbag<br />

• Double pre-tensioned front seat belts<br />

• Height-adjustable active front<br />

headrests

Electronic chassis systems<br />

The new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> features the latestgeneration<br />

Electronic Stability Program Plus<br />

(ESP ®Plus ). It includes the following functions:<br />

• Straight Line Stability Control (SLS), which<br />

recognises any tendency towards<br />

instability under braking and adjusts the<br />

brake pressure for optimum straight-line<br />

braking stability under all road conditions.<br />

• Cornering Brake Control (CBC), which<br />

improves stability in bends by reducing the<br />

brake pressure of individual wheels.<br />

• Drag Torque Control (DTC), which prevents<br />

loss of grip due to engine brake torque on<br />

icy roads.<br />

• Enhanced Understeering Control (EUC),<br />

which can operate on up to all four brakes<br />

to stabilise potentially critical situations.<br />

• Brake Assist System (BAS) respects the<br />

latest pedestrian protection requirements<br />

to give a higher deceleration gain even to<br />

unskilled drivers and results in shorter<br />

braking distances under all circumstances.<br />

• Active Rollover Protection (ARP): in case of<br />

extreme curves with high velocity, the<br />

ESP ®Plus slows down the car to a stable<br />

condition and prevents roll-over. This is a<br />

special benefit e.g. in case of loaded roof<br />

carrier.<br />

• Hydraulic Brake Fade Assist (HBFA), which<br />

automatically raises braking pressure to<br />

compensate potential brake fade.<br />

without SLS<br />

with SLS<br />

Safety<br />

Active safety<br />

The chassis of the new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> is<br />

significantly improved in all criteria.<br />

Architectural components are carried over<br />

from current <strong>Opel</strong> Zafira, with wider track in<br />

front and rear. In line with the longer<br />

wheelbase the customer benefits from<br />

higher ride comfort, improved steering<br />

precision and greater active safety. The new<br />

chassis allows wheel sizes up to 18˝ and<br />

ensures a high level of driving dynamics.<br />

The steering system has been changed from<br />

the current <strong>Meriva</strong> which has an Electric<br />

Power Steering system (EPS) to an Electro-<br />

Hydraulic Power Steering system (EHPS) to<br />

be able to accommodate the increased size<br />

and loads.<br />

Besides active safety, maximum passive<br />

safety was also a main development target:<br />

the new <strong>Opel</strong> <strong>Meriva</strong> features larger brake<br />

sizes in comparison to the current car.<br />

Sight and Light Pack<br />

Several features that increase both safety<br />

and driver satisfaction are available in the<br />

optional Sight and Light Pack:<br />

• Automatic Lighting Control with tunnel<br />

recognition. When the headlights are<br />

automatically activated the daylight<br />

running lights are deactivated.<br />

• Rain sensor. Automatically activates the<br />

windscreen wipers and is regulated by the<br />

vehicle speed and rain density.<br />

• Automatically dimming interior rear-view<br />

mirror protects against dazzle from<br />

following traffic.<br />

Arguments<br />

• Newly developed chassis with high<br />

reserves of dynamic safety<br />

• Strong feeling of security<br />

• Latest generation of electronic chassis<br />

systems<br />

• Driver assist systems to increase<br />

driving satisfaction

Engines and transmissions<br />

More power, less consumption, increased<br />

fun<br />

The 1.4 ECOTEC ® engine offers an excellent<br />

balance of economy and performance and<br />

meets Euro 5 emission standard. It has<br />

16-valve technology and reflects the <strong>Opel</strong><br />

philosophy of downsizing for increased allround<br />

economy.<br />

Efficiency is optimised by the use of<br />

lightweight components such as hollow<br />

crank and camshafts and by the reduction of<br />

internal friction.<br />

The 1.4 Turbo version demonstrates the<br />

downsizing principle convincingly by<br />

delivering 103 kW. Here sodium-filled valves,<br />

close-coupled pre-catalytic converter and<br />

thermal mapping are used together with the<br />

double cam phasing to provide the clean<br />

power. All of these engines also feature<br />

advanced vibration damping to make<br />

driving the new <strong>Meriva</strong> even more<br />

pleasurable.<br />

Arguments<br />

• State-of-the-art technology<br />

• Higher economy with increased<br />

performance
