4 No matter how you drive, or how far, seat comfort is a vital necessity. The Opel Astra delivers it with a fully orthopaedic ergonomic sports seat that adjusts 6 ways. Also it has an adjustable seat cushion extension for relaxing leg support. At the top end perforated leather, with heating, brings the Opel Astra into the luxury category. But, if you prefer it, the cloth-covered version provides the same level of orthopaedic support. The ergonomic sports seat is approved and recommended by AGR (Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.v.), a German medical association that has set orthopaedic requirements for car seats. *Available in Cosmo only Electric park brake The touch operated electric park brake offers both increased parking security and decreased driver effort. Also in combination with Hill Start Assist preventing the car rolling backwards when stopped on a hill, it gets you moving smoothly and effortlessly for increased comfort and safety.*available in Cosmo only Dual zone air conditioning Air quality and control is a major aspect of the Opel Astra interior comfort. The Electronic Climate Control (ECC) offers a new quietness and sense of control, including individual driver setting memory. The air is charcoal filtered and both front seat occupants can choose their preferred temperature separately. The ECC also features controlled partial air recirculation for improved heat up and cooling performance. A perfect platform Superb ride comfort, driving dynamics, and steering response, with reduced noise and vibrations are the main benefits gained from the Opel Astra chassis. The high torsional stiffness of the Opel Astra body provides optimum preconditions for excellent handling precision, ride comfort and extremely low levels of noise and vibration. The broad stance ensures high stability in curves, the long wheelbase a smooth ride even on bumpy roads. Watt s link rear suspension The unique rear suspension of the Opel Astra is Watt s link in all models apart from the 1.6 Essentia which has compound crank. While the principle of Watt s linkage has been known for over 200 years, more recently it has been used mostly in race cars. In effect the principle is straightforward.

5 A steel crossmember just behind the wheel centre line carries the two struts of the linkage. These are pivoted in the middle and the ends attached to the lower wheel carriers. The result is that any lateral impact on one side is immediately compensated by an equal amount of force on the other side, increasing stability. The major benefit of this compact system effectively prevents any lateral movement of the axle, providing a smoother ride and improved handling. With its advanced passive and active safety equipment and the innovative driver assistance systems, the Opel Astra is one of the safest cars in its class. Cruise Control with speed limiter Whilst Cruise Control is practical in fluid traffic on motorway etc., the advantage of the speed limiter function is that it can also be used in town driving and dense traffic, where it enables the vehicle to be hold under a set speed. The speed limiter function allows the driver to set a maximum speed up from 25 km/h for the vehicle. The limiting function can be very helpful in staying in compliance with speed limits in 30 km/h zone in urban settings. The driver can override the speed limit with kickdown. In this case a warning is displayed in the DIC. The speed limiter function is automatically reactivated after any deceleration or braking, bringing the vehicle below the selected speed limit by reducing torque. Park Assist The Park Assist helps detect obstacles in both front and rear. The distance to the obstacles is indicated acoustically via a pulsing sound and a diagram in the display. Passive safety The Opel Astra is not only equipped with state-of-the art active safety systems, but also protects its occupants with exemplary passive safety technologies. Robust bumpers and highly efficient energy absorption systems deal with minor impacts. The bumper beams are precisely positioned for maximum protection in car to car low speed impacts, helping cut repair bills and leading to excellent insurance classification. The rigid passenger cell is mainly fabricated from high strength steel and surrounded by optimized deformation zones that protect in a controlled manner. Inside the seat belt pretensioners on the front seats, front, side and curtain airbags, Pedal Release System and active headrests all work together to safeguard you.
