31Conspicuity for the rear of a vehicle is provided by rear position lamps (also called taillamps or tail lamps, taillights, or tail lights). These are required to produce only red light and to be wired such that they are lit whenever the front position lamps are lit, including when the headlamps are on. Rear position lamps may be combined with the vehicle's stop lamps or separate from them. In combined-function installations, the lamps produce brighter red light for the stop lamp function and dimmer red light for the rear position lamp function. Regulations worldwide stipulate minimum intensity ratios between the bright (stop) and dim (rear position) modes, so that a vehicle displaying rear position lamps will not be mistakenly interpreted as showing stop lamps, and vice versa.
LEDs are gradually coming to be preferred over filament bulbs as the light sources for vehicle rear lamps.
Stop lamps (brake lights) Edit
Red steady-burning rear lights, brighter than the rear position lamps, are activated when the driver applies the vehicle's brakes. These are called stop lamps in some countries and brake lights in others. They are required to be fitted in multiples of two, symmetrically at the left and right edges of the rear of every vehicle. International UN regulations specify a range of acceptable intensity for a stop lamp of 60 to 185 candela. In North America where the UN regulations are not recognised, the acceptable range for a single-compartment stop lamp is 80 to 300 candela.
The Corsa E debuted at the 2014 Paris Motor Show. The basic chassis architecture of this fifth-generation Corsa is the same as its predecessor’s, so exterior and interior dimensions are identical, give or take a few millimetres, but every exterior panel is new. Led by Brit Mark Adams, Opel’s design team has taken various style cues from the brand’s latest models and distilled them into a supermini shape. Interior space stayed the same, as has the 285-litre boot, but every part of the instrument panel and dashboard is completely new. All of the exterior sheet metal (except the roof) has been revised, but the underlying chassis and body structure (especially the glasshouse) is carried over from Corsa D.
IntelliLink infotainment system can be connected up to Apple or Android smartphones via USB or Bluetooth. The newest iteration of this will "mirror" your phone onto the touchscreen, allowing you to use things like your Google Maps or Spotify through voice command as well as use Siri voice control.
A reinforced, stiffer front sub-frame and new front suspension geometry, plus a new speed-sensitive electric power-steering system, have been designed to sharpen the handling and provide more front-end bite. Two types of suspension – comfort and sport – will also be offered.
It has been revealed that a new Corsa (likely named the Corsa F) will be released in 2018, with the Corsa E finishing production that year.
