PEACE OF MIND.

The Opel Insignia is not only equipped with state-of-the-art active safety systems, but also protects its occupants with exemplary passive safety technology. Passive safety means high tensile steels, rigidity, deformability, strategically placed crash boxes and impact load paths all working together to ensure that the new Opel Insignia offers one of the strongest safety structures on the market.

Inside, the front airbags are dual powered to reduce injuries caused by rapid inflation. The front seat side impact airbags and curtain airbags guard against side impact and intrusion. The front passenger airbags can be deactivated when a child seat is used in the front seat.

This attention to detail and all-round protection has earned the Insignia the respected NCAP 5-star rating, the highest European recognition of passive safety.

Further Insignia passive safety features include:

Active-safety front head restraints protect against whiplash and neck injuries. Standard on all models except Insignia S and Insignia OPC.

The Insignia is available with Adaptive Forward Lighting – one of the most advanced headlight systems in the mid segment.

The movable elements in the sleek bi-xenon headlights automatically adjust themselves to different conditions, ensuring safer and more relaxed driving. Various adaptive light functions make the best of every situation, improving road illumination by up to 90% versus fixed headlamps - without dazzling other drivers.

AFL+ greatly enhances visibility through bends and sharp corners, making night driving significantly safer. And much more relaxing.

The Front Camera system in Opel Insignia is a camera system with four functions: It reads and remembers speed limit and ’no overtaking‘ signs and displays them. The system also gives the driver advanced warning of unintentional departure from traffic lanes, constantly indicates the distance to the vehicle ahead and alerts the driver if a collision is imminent.

Opel Insignia’s Traffic Sign Assistant (TSA) system keeps the driver informed in real time about traffic restrictions – and lets him know if they are still valid. The camera recognises speed limits or ’no-overtaking‘ signs, immediately displays them, and also signals the end of the restrictions.

The camera also observes the lane marking lines for the Lane Departure Warning (LDW), which is instantly activated when the car crosses a line without signaling. An audible warning and a sign in the instrument warn the driver immediately.

Following Distance Indication (FDI) constantly shows the distance to the leading vehicle in the instrument panel, helping to avoid tailgating tickets. Forward Collision Alert (FCA) is active when the car is moving faster than 30 km/h and gives visual and audible warning when a collision is likely.

A radar sensor maintains your cruise speed and the chosen gap to the car in front using throttle and brakes. The following distance to the preceding vehicle can be adjusted via a steering wheel control. A green ‘vehicle ahead’ telltale illuminates if the radar sensor detects a vehicle. If you approach the preceding car too fast, the system triggers visual and audible warnings and applies the brakes, retarding the car to 15 km/h.
