For added peace of mind, there’s a sensor-based load indicator that warns you if the van is overloaded. And once the engine is switched on, a white LED lights up if the weight exceeds 80 per cent of the permitted payload, keeping the van safe.
If the weight is above the limit, an orange signal with an exclamation mark lights up.
Other innovations include a rear-view camera that acts as a digital rear-view mirror, and a second camera in the passenger-side door mirror which gives the driver an additional blind-spot detection aid.
The Flank Guard is a sensor-based system that supports the driver while turning at low speeds. This provides a warning when there’s a risk that the vehicle’s side will collide with an obstacle. IntelliGrip, Vauxhall’s electronic traction control system, is also available.
The permanent rear-view camera displays the area behind the van on the infotainment screen as soon as reverse is selected, showing guidelines to assist manoeuvring. It also displays an area (4m to 30m behind the vehicle) when driving, meaning it can be used as a digital rear-view mirror.
A second camera fitted in the exterior door mirror on the passenger side further improves the overall view. As soon as the passenger side indicator is activated, the passenger-side view is shown on the monitor, helping to improve safety for all road users.
An impressive list of driver-assistance tech is available, including:
- Forward collision alert, with pedestrian detection and automatic emergency braking
- Lane keep assist
- Hill descent control
- Intelligent speed adaptation
- Automatic cruise control
- Driver drowsiness alert
- Speed sign recognition
