Preparing the car for the winter season starts back over their design and manufacture. Opel presents us with some of the technologies and systems that assist car drivers these brand in winter Driving.

Opel offers an adaptive all-wheel drive, the AFL + system adaptive headlights and a heated steering for the driver to provide a safer and more comfortable driving in low visibility, darkness, ice and snow. During the ice on the road, the chassis and drive system play a central role. All Wheel Drive (AWD), which is activated on demand, is particularly effective in conditions of ice and snow on the road. When you travel on dry roads, the front wheel drive car, providing excellent fuel economy. At the same time, the power can be reprogrammed so that the relations between the ranges 100-0 (front / rear wheels) up to 50-50 when driving in deep snow. AWD system is optimally adapts to current road conditions. The system is activated automatically in a split second, when it comes to traction on the front axle, thus providing maximum grip. It turns off to save fuel when you do not need additional support for the rear wheels. Equally important, especially on wet and slippery roads, the Electronic Stability Program (ESP ® Plus).

Another technology that distinguishes the Opel is the AFL + system adaptive Front-lighting. The dark mornings and early sunsets are part of the daily routine for many who drive during this time of the year. When snow and heavy rain falling on the windshield, visibility becomes even more important.This include lights for open roads, highways, urban roads, the presence of pedestrians, adverse weather conditions, increased high beam, low beam static and dynamic low beam, LED daytime lights with the assistance of long-lights. The AFL + also increases the safety of all road users and makes night driving or driving in bad weather conditions relaxed. In addition to this system, there are also useful accessories like electrochromatic mirror that prevents blinding glare shielding driver of the light coming from behind his vehicle, automatically turn wipers with rain sensor and exterior mirrors with electric heating.

For more comfort over winter driving, customers can order steering with heating available as an option. The steering wheel is heated within one minute. When the system is activated, the entire circumference of the wheel is heated, but the heat is distributed quickly in areas where the driver holds the steering (position 15 to 3). Driver and passenger comfort can be enhanced thanks to the seats with heating , which are optionally available for all models of Opel.
