Investing in your safety. State-of-the-art in-car safety doesn’t happen by accident.
It happens by continuous investment in award-winning technology. Innovations like
front, side and curtain airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, pedal release system
and active-safety front seat head restraints – all standard on every new Astra model –
are aimed at helping to protect you in every type of impact situation. The front
passenger’s front and side airbags can be easily deactivated when carrying a child
seat on the front passenger seat. And new Astra’s advanced braking features together
with the options of a sophisticated FlexRide chassis with Continuous Damping
Control (CDC) and Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL) technology play an equally
important role in helping prevent accidents in the first place. It won’t surprise you to
learn that Vauxhall innovation is helping to keep your insurance premiums down with
advanced security systems and smart new bumpers that minimise damage in low
speed impacts. That same engineering innovation is also reducing the risk of injury to
pedestrians should an impact occur.
Active-safety front seat head
restraints – minimise the risk of
whiplash injury and guard against
other head and upper body injuries.
Front and rear parking distance
sensors – sound a warning if they sense
anything behind, or in front of, the vehicle
when parking. Optional at extra cost.
