Forward movement of the 3 year dummy, sat in a forward facing restraint, was not excessive. Both the 3 year dummy and the 18 month dummy were properly contained within the shells of their restraints in the side impact, minimising the risk of dangerous head contact. 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. Permanently attached labels on the sun visor clearly warn of the dangers of using a rearward facing child seat in that position.

In all of the areas likely to be struck by an adult's head, protection was poor and no points were awarded for this part of the assessment. Conversely, the area likely to be struck by small adults and children provided good protection and scored maximum points. The bumper provided good protection to pedestrians' legs. However, the protection offered to a pedestrians hip and pelvic area was poor.

Advanced Rewards
Most driving decisions are based on what the driver can see. In daylight, forward visibility is usually adequate, provided the weather is clear. Night time driving, on the other hand, can be challenging. Adaptive Headlights turn their beams around each curve in the road, giving the driver a better view of what is ahead. Night vision systems further improve night-time visibility beyond what can be seen with conventional headlights by using night imaging technology.
Lane Support Systems can assist and warn you when you unintentionally leave the road lane. Sometimes a moment of inattention is enough to make your vehicle stray from its lane. The systems continuously monitors the position of the vehicle in the road lane: Lane Departure Warning warns you if the car unintentionally wanders from the path; Lane Keeping Support helps you to correct the course of your car.
This technology was introduced in the Overall Rating in 2014.

The passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal impact. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs for both the driver and front passenger dummies. Opel showed that a good level of protection would also be offered to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different seating positions. In both the side and pole impact, dummy readings of rib compression indicated marginal protection of the chest area. However, the front seat and head restraints provided good protection against whiplash injuries in a rear-end collision.
