The new <strong>Astra</strong> line-up 1 offers a host of state-of-the-art electronic<br />
driver aids to make driving a whole lot easier – and safer<br />
too. Adaptive Cruise Control uses a radar to scan the road<br />
ahead while other options are part of the cutting-edge camerabased<br />
Opel Eye system.<br />

Adaptive Cruise Control (acc) with Forward Collision Alert (FCA) and Collision<br />
Imminent Braking (CIB). ACC is an advanced, proactive version of conventional cruise<br />
control for preventing bumper-to-tail collisions at speeds over 50 km/h. It uses a powerful<br />
radar sensor to automatically maintain a safe gap (chosen by you) to the vehicle in front.<br />
ACC also incorporates Forward Collision Alert (opposite page) and Collision Imminent<br />
Braking (CIB), which is active above walking pace. If you close on a vehicle too fast,<br />
CIB chimes and displays an icon. If a collision is likely, it cuts the response time of the<br />
brakes and makes them more sensitive in case you or the system have to brake hard.<br />
If a collision is unavoidable, CIB applies the brakes automatically to lessen the impact.<br />
Opel Eye. The Opel Eye system (opposite page) feeds off a camera mounted behind<br />
the windscreen that monitors the road ahead and relays what it sees to a series of<br />
high-tech optional driver aids like AFL+ (previous page), Traffic Sign Assistant and<br />
Lane Departure Warning.
