Reduced stopping distance with EBA.
Stopping distance without EBA.
Stopping distance at 60mph. Actuating time: 150 milliseconds.
D2. Emergency Brake Assist (EBA)
Emergency brake assist detects the urgency with which the brake pedal is pressed and
rapidly increases the pressure to the maximum the system can provide, shortening stopping
distances. It also enhances pedal feel.

Features explained
D1. Electronic Stability Programme-plus (ESP-plus) with Enhanced Understeering Control
The system works in conjunction with the car’s traction control set-up, sensing when the
vehicle is about to slide on a bend and applying corrective braking to the appropriate wheel
or wheels, correcting the slide and helping you regain control more rapidly.
D3. Adaptive Forward Lighting – halogen
Optional at extra cost on SE, SXi and SRi, Adaptive Forward Lighting is a sophisticated
lighting system that ‘allows you to see around corners’! Corsa was one of the first cars in its
class to offer such technology;
Autocar
magazine described it as a ‘must-have’ feature. There
are two main functions:
D1
D3
Curve light
Activated by movements of the
steering wheel, the curve light allows
the headlight beam to move up to
15 degrees outwards (8 degrees
inwards) in the direction you’re about
to go.
Cornering light
When turning into a junction or
rounding a tight corner, the cornering
light projects an additional beam of light
at approximately 90 degrees, giving a
‘wide angle’ effect.
Start/Stop technology
New Corsa’s Start/Stop system offers real
benefits by improving fuel economy and
reducing CO
2
emissions, particularly in town.
It does this by automatically stopping the
engine when you come to a standstill, and
then restarting as you prepare to move off.
Before automatically stopping the engine a
number of system checks are carried out to
ensure that it is both safe and practical to do
so. To ensure safety, the driver must depress
the clutch pedal, shift in to neutral, and then
release the clutch pedal.
System checks carried out before Auto Stop
activates include:
• Start/Stop system is not manually
deactivated via the facia button
• Sufficient brake vacuum is available to
prevent the car rolling down an incline
• Battery is in good condition and charged
• Outside air temperature and engine
temperature are above specified minima
• Electronic climate control (where fitted)
is not in maximum heating or maximum
cooling mode
• Self-cleaning function of the diesel
particulate filter is not active
If all of these conditions are satisfied then
the vehicle will Auto Stop.
When you are ready to pull away from
standstill, Auto Restart is activated by
depressing the clutch pedal.
Whilst at a standstill the vehicle is continually
monitored. If necessary, the engine will
automatically be restarted. Conditions that
would initiate an Auto Restart include:
• Low battery level
• Brake vacuum below specified minimum
• Start/Stop system is manually deactivated
• Stationary for 5.5 minutes
