General
Cockpit
The interior design of the new Opel Astra harmonizes
convincingly with the bold and modern exterior. The
first impression for the driver is of well-organized comfort.
The 4-way adjustable seat is comfortable but supportive, and everything is within easy reach. Both this and
the 6-way adjustable ergonomic sports seat (available
in the 1.6T Sport) have increased travel both in height
and length for maximum comfort in positioning and legroom. The steering wheel can be adjusted for reach
and rake. The gear lever is short, sporty, and ergonomically shaped for the hand. Together these features add
up to give an impression of quality and control.
The instruments are housed in pods, and the main dials
are angled inward towards the driver, emphasizing the
driver-focused feeling. New attention to detail includes
the high quality feel of the steering wheel controls and
the whole impact of higher quality materials throughout
the cockpit.
The centre stack, mounted at a user-friendly 30degree
angle, houses the main display, infotainment, air controls, and centre vents. All are easily reachable and intuitively easy to use. The driver’s convenience is
maximized by details such as outstanding storage possibilities within easy reach, including a special driver’s
storage bin.

Interior
Friendly, stylish, and functional the new Opel Astra
keeps the comfort of all passengers in mind. The
longer wheelbase and wider track have translated
into a feeling of generous roominess. The interior
also offers a new sense of high quality and friendliness to maximize this increased spaciousness. Soft
curves and surfaces which overlap rather than meet
at a dividing point form awelcoming environment.
Quality and tactility have also played a dominant role
in the choice of fabrics at all trim levels.
Another up-markettouch that further reinforces the
welcoming nature is that much attention has been
paid to the ambient interior lighting. At night
red diffused light illuminates the base of the centre
stack and the door panels.
In the rear, the generous leg- and shoulder- room, improved deep-sculptured rear seats, and practical storages for items and drinks make the passengers
instantly feel at home.
Overall, the interior is one of the most effective
"first impression" sales factors with the new Opel
Astra.

TRAINING
Opel Astra Safety
The highly rigid, computer-designed and optimized body structure utilizes high- strength steel grades,
defined load paths and deformation zones to enable a high level of passive safety performance. The
safety cell of the new Opel Astra offers one of the largest crash protection survival spaces in this
class. In high-speed front impacts, the energy is distributed along three controlled load paths including the front sub-frame. In side- impact events, the diagonally mounted door beams effectively
transfer load into ultra high strength steel B pillars, side sills, and floor cross-members.
Low Speed Concept
The new Opel Astra is the first car in its class designed to meet the new bumper design guidelines
from Research Council of Automobile Repairs(RCAR),an international association for insurance industry research.The aluminium bumper beam sections and crash boxes are strategically positioned
to avoid override/ underride events in low speed crash impacts. This results in reduced damage and
helps to save repair costs. In addition, the new Opel Astra has special radiator and headlamp
mountings to avoid the need to replace expensive components in low speed impacts.

Pedal Release System (PRS)
Opel’s Pedal Release System decouples the clutch and brake pedals in the event of
a serious frontal accident. This reduces the risk of injury in the foot region.

Suspension
One of the largest innovations of the new Astra
is its new rear suspension.It uses what is called
a “watts” linkage.The axle assembly attaches
to the underbody through a rubber bushing and
bracket located at the front of each trailing
arm.The Watt linkage is used as a performance
improvement.This method is intended to prevent relavant sideways motion between the
axle and body of the vehicle.

Parking Brake
There are two parking brake systems for the Astra:
Self adjusting manual parking brake
Electric parking brake
Self adjusting parking brake
The SACS automatically adjusts the tension of the cable by a mechanical tension spring.
The park brake system does not require adjustment under normal operating conditions and the
plastic coated cables do not need lubrication.The tension on the cables can be disable and enabled
when necessary for servicing of the brakes.
Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
The electronic parking brake replaces the manual parking brake. It can be ordered as an option and
may be standard with certain trim levels.
In the Electronic Parking Brake System the brake cables are pulled by the motor in the electric
parking brake contol module.
The EPB is mounted behind the left rear wheel arch.

Advanced adaptive forward lighting(AFL)
The improved Adaptive Forward Lighting of the
new Astra, based on the 3rd generation of Hella’s
Vario Xenon-System, is an innovative, high-tech
feature which increases driving safety and drastically reduces the stress of night time driving. The vehicle adapts the headlights automatically to the
driving situation so that in every case the best possible light performance is given. Through movable
elements the light pattern can be changed and the
automatic high beam makes sure that on coming
traffic is not disturbed.
AFL functions include: Country light
Motorway light
Town light
Pedestrian light
Adverse weatherlight
Increased high beam
Dynamic bending light Static bending light

AFL High Beam Assist (HBA)
High Beam Assist makes use of a camera mounted
in front of the rear view mirror that picks up light
conditions in front of the vehicle. When the camera detects head lights from oncoming vehicles it
switches the high beam off and back on when vehicle has passed. The system also detects taillights from slower moving vehicles.

of oncoming vehicles

Passenger Airbag De-activation
The passenger airbag can be de-activated by the switch that is located on the right outer
side of the dashboard.
When the passenger airbag OFF indicator is illuminated,the front passenger airbag is deactivated and will not inflate in the event of a collision.
A child restraint system can then be fitted on the seat.
Head Restraints
The new Astra also fetures active head restraints in the front that move up and forward in
the event of a rear end collision.

Restraint System
TRAINING
Euro NCAP
Euro NCAP awarded the new Astra a five star rating.
Adult occupant
The passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal impact, the windscreen pillar
moving rearward less than 2mm. Dual pretensioners restrained the dummies well and
readings indicated that the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger were well
protected. Opel were able to show that occupants of different sizes, and those sat in different seating positions, would be similiarly well protected. The Astra scored maximum
points for its protection of the front passenger occupant in the frontal impact. Protection
of the chest was adequate in the side barrier impact and marginal in the more severe side
pole test, with good protection of all other body regions in both tests. Protection against
whiplash injuries in rear impacts was rated as good.
Child occupant
Based on dummy readings in the frontal and side impacts, the Astra scored maximum
points for protection of the 3 year dummy. Forward movment of the head was well controlled. In the side barrier test, both dummies were properly contained by their restraints.
The passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward facing child restraint to be used
in that seating position. However, information provided to the driver regarding the status
of the airbag is not sufficiently clear. The dangers of using a rearward facing child seat in
that position without first disabling the airbag are clearly explained in a label attached to
the passenger's sun visor.
Pedestrian
The car scored maximum points for the protection offered to pedestrians' legs by the
bumper. However, the protection provided by the front edge of the bonnet was poor and
scored no points in Euro NCAP's tests. In most areas likely to b struck by the head of a
child, the bonnet offered marginal protection. In all areas likely to be struck by an adult's
head, the bonnet provided poor protection.
Safety assist
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is standard equipment across the whole of the model
range as is a seatbelt reminder system for the driver and front passenger seats.
