Minimize distraction: Internet access via voice activation for more safety
Siri for everybody: Free IntelliLink update in ADAM models manufactured before June
Opel ADAM GLAM, SLAM, JAM
The Opel ADAM with the IntelliLink infotainment system is now also
available with full integration for Siri Eyes Free, the unique
intelligent assistant from Apple that helps you get things done whilst
driving just by asking. Using a steering wheel-mounted button, customers
with a compatible iPhone1 running iOS 6 can direct Siri Eyes
Free to perform a number of tasks while they safely keep their eyes on
the road and their hands on the wheel. This is more than traditional
voice activation – you can speak to Siri Eyes Free in ADAM just as you would a person with a conversational tone.
To minimize distraction, Apple and Opel take hands-free functionality
even further than before with the Siri Eyes Free mode which enables you
to interact with your Apple device using nothing more than your voice.
Users will notice that their device screen does not display the Siri
text conversation whilst using the feature in ADAM. This is one of the
important safety measures Apple took together with Opel during the
integration development to ensure upmost focus on safety.
Opel ADAM GLAM Purple interior with IntelliLink
This unique feature is available free of charge in all
IntelliLink-equipped ADAMs which are ordered now on. Customers who
already own an ADAM with IntellilLink can also benefit from Siri Eyes
Free. As Opel is offering a software update free of charge which enables
the Siri Eyes Free functionality to be added to IntelliLink. The
innovative IntelliLink system can be continually updated throughout the
customers’ ownership to ensure in-car infotainment is just as up to date
as their mobile communication. Opel ADAM customers should visit their
Opel dealer to get the update.
To start sessions with Siri in Eyes Free mode, ADAM owners simply
connect their Apple iOS device with the IntelliLink infotainment system
via Bluetooth, pair with the system, and use the steering wheel voice
activation button. Siri Eyes Free can be activated while other apps such
as BringGo continue running in the background. Music or nav directions
are automatically muted during this time.
In the Opel ADAM equipped with the IntelliLink infotainment system, owners can use Siri Eyes Free to:
Make voice-activated, hands-free calls to Contacts on their iPhone
Play chosen songs in their iTunes libraries without having to spend
time scrolling through menus – and therefore being distracted while
driving
Listen to, or compose and send an iMessage, text message or mail to a phone number or anyone in saved Contacts
Access Calendar and add appointments, read incoming notifications as well as configuration for alarm and notification settings
And, of course, Siri also answers simple questions such as game scores, weather or the dates of national holidays

On top of that, customers with the FlexDock system can also benefit
from full Siri Eyes Free integration with their smartphone device front
and centre on the dashboard. Simply dock any Apple smartphone, including
iPhone 5, in the cradle and Siri Eyes Free can support with voice
activation on other Apple Apps including Apple Maps. With Apple Maps in
use, you can even ask Siri Eyes Free ‘Are we nearly there yet?’.

A further advantage of using the Opel FlexDock: the iPhone is
automatically charged without the need for an additional cable so a
discharged battery can be avoided.
Many capabilities for ADAM’s IntelliLink infotainment system
Opel’s new IntelliLink infotainment system, which made its debut in
ADAM, is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, as well as Android
devices. The full scope of options IntelliLink offers in Opel ADAM also
includes TuneIn, a global radio access app, BringGo, a navigation app,
and Stitcher, a global podcast internet radio app. IntelliLink brings
the connectivity and functionality of smartphones safely inside the car
via a seven-inch, high resolution, full color touch-screen display with
Bluetooth or USB connections. IntelliLink, the ultra-modern infotainment
system, can therefore be as personal to use as the content kept on an
iPhone or Android device. At the same time, OpeI IntelliLink is an
affordable system: it costs 300 euros in Germany.
Standard infotainment for ADAM JAM, ADAM GLAM and ADAM SLAM (in
Germany) is a CD 3.0 BT system with radio and CD players, featuring
Bluetooth to enable hands-free calling and USB connections. In common
with with IntelliLink, the AM/FM double radio tuner can be combined with
DAB digital radio. And the whole infotainment system can be further
enhanced with an impressive Infinity Sound System including eight
loudspeakers.
1 Siri is available in Beta only on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5,
iPad (3rd and 4th generations), iPad mini and iPod touch (4th
generation), and requires Internet access. Siri may not be available in
all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area. Cellular
data charges may apply.

World premiere at Frankfurt Motor Show in September
Opel Insignia 2014 - AFL+ Bi-Xenon headlights with new design
The Opel model offensive moves to the next level with the new Opel Insignia that celebrates its world premiere at the 65th
Frankfurt Motor Show (September 12 - 22, 2013). The top model shines
with even more attractive interior and exterior styling, taking the
award-winning design philosophy “sculptural artistry meets German
precision” to the next level. New powerful and ultra-efficient direct
injection engines like the two new-generation Turbo gasoline units and
the 99 g Turbo diesel expand the wide portfolio. This minor emission
puts the new 2.0-liter turbo diesel engine in the A+ efficiency class.
Both variants (the 88 kW/120 hp and 103 kW/140 hp according to EG Nr.
715/2007) consume either as the four or five-door model with six-speed
manual transmission and Start/Stop system just 3.7 liters of fuel per
100 km in the combined cycle (Sports Tourer: 3.9 l/100 km). Therefore
the Opel Insignia 2.0 CDTI is the most fuel efficient diesel car in its
class.
Opel Insignia 2014 - Front fascia in new fresh design
A host of chassis enhancements ensures higher agility and comfort.
And a completely new infotainment system generation is now available for
the Insignia. It integrates many Smartphone functions into the car and
can be operated intuitively and simply via a Touchpad in the center
console.

“The successful Insignia has already won 580,000 Opel drivers. The
new Insignia will thrill even more – with a more expressive design,
high-quality cockpit, intuitive operation of infotainment systems,
exemplary powertrains like our trailblazing 99 gram Turbo diesel,” Opel
CEO Dr. Karl-Thomas Neumann describes the mid-size model’s revolution.
“Our flagship is now more sophisticated and eye-catching – but even in
midst of all this elegance, don’t forget what it’s all about: to offer
drivers and passengers a comfortable and safe driving experience with
state-of-the-art technologies at a really attractive price.”

Sleek: Clearly arranged cockpit with new infotainment generation
The spotlight was on three criteria during the enhancement of the
cockpit: clear, simple and thus intuitive operation, customization of
the infotainment offer, and of course comfort and safety for driver and
passengers, which is increased even more thanks to lowest-possible
distraction from road traffic.
Opel Insignia 2014 - Improved cockpit with new steering wheel
Intensifying the human-and-machine connection is the newly designed HMI (Human Machine Interface) instrument panel with an up to 8-inch high-resolution color display. In addition to the classic readouts like speed, rpm and fuel tank level, further information on navigation, smartphone use and audio options are directly in the driver’s line of sight and can be adjusted.
Opel Insignia 2014 - Newly designed Instrument Panel with 8 inch High-Res color display
The center console has a completely new feeling of subtlety and
refinement, and it harbors a host of state-of-the-art technologies and
functions. The black piano lacquer and chrome control panel was
drastically simplified. It now has just a few buttons so that operation
of the infotainment system and e.g. air conditioning is fast and
intuitive.
Opel Insignia 2014 - New center console
The new infotainment generation in the Opel Insignia can be controlled
over an 8 inch color display with touch operation. From the starting
screen the driver can access all function and sub-menus such as radio
stations, song titles, smartphone connection or 3D navigation map via
button, touchscreen, voice control or the brand new touchpad. And the
infotainment system can be individualized – up to 60 personal favorites
(e.g. playlists, phone contacts, navigation addresses) can be stored.
Opel Insignia 2014 - Ergonomically integrated Touchpad
The touchpad is ergonomically integrated in the center console and
offers a completely new way of quickly and intuitively accessing the
infotainment system. Its illuminated, touch-sensitive surface reacts
immediately to finger movements including haptic feedback and makes
operation of the new infotainment generation child’s play without
distracting the driver from the traffic situation. Even individual
letters – for instance when searching for a song title in the database
or a city in the navigation system – can be entered by fingertip on the
touchpad.

Additionally, Opel Insignia driver can control the newest generation
infotainment system over newly designed, clearly laid-out steering wheel
controls as well as voice commands. The advanced voice recognition
function can be activated by the simple push of a button on the steering
wheel controls and can also process more than one command at a time.
The wide range of operating choices is the result of enhancements to the
new infotainment generation.
Top: New-generation 99 gram Turbo Diesel and new SIDI Turbo gasoline units
The new Opel Insignia also makes a statement in terms of powertrain
and chassis. While the mid-size model already received many accolades
for driving comfort, handling and roadholding, the new edition plays in a
higher league. Opel engineers made a host of improvements to the
chassis including to the dampers, stabilizers and steering, resulting in
decreased noise and vibrational behavior and even higher comfort.
The broad, newly expanded engine portfolio is tuned to performance
and comfort without any compromises. The new Opel Insignia offers the
choice between the three propulsion alternatives gasoline, diesel and
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas); power output ranges from 81 kW/110 hp to
239 kW/325 hp.
The new Opel Insignia 2.0 CDTI is the eco and fuel-saving champion. Thanks
to its new 2.0-liter turbo diesel engine, the 88 kW/120 hp and 103
kW/140 hp variants emit just 99 g/km CO2 (Sports Tourer: 104 g/km CO2)
according to EG Nr. 715/2007. This puts it in the A+ efficiency class,
as the four and five-door models with six-speed manual transmission and
Start/Stop system consume just 3.7 liters of fuel per 100 km in the
combined cycle (Sports Tourer: 3.9 l/100 km) – optimum values in this
vehicle class. Both variants also boast superb torque, with the 88
kW/120 hp Turbo diesel providing up to 320 Nm and the 103 kW/140 hp
model even up to 370 Nm – thanks to an automatic overboost function.
Opel Insignia 2014 - New 2.0 liter Turbo Diesel engine with 88 kW/120 hp or 103 kW/140 hp
The top-of-the-line diesel is the 143 kW/195 hp 2.0 BiTurbo CDTI. The
high-performance diesel with sequential, two stage turbo chargers
reaches impressive torque of 400 Nm and is distinguished by its direct
responsiveness as well as exemplary propulsion power across a broad rpm
range.
The most prominent gasoline engines are the two turbo direct
injection units: the 2.0 SIDI Turbo with 184 kW/250 hp and 400 Nm
maximum torque as well as the 1.6 SIDI Turbo from the newest engine
generation with 125 kW/170 hp and 260 Nm, and even up to 280 Nm with
overboost (SIDI = Spark Ignition Direct Injection).
Both boast superb power development and excellent running smoothness
with high fuel economy. They can be coupled with a six-speed manual
transmission and Start/Stop functionality or with a new, low-friction
six-speed automatic gearbox. In addition to front-wheel-drive, the
2.0-liter SIDI Turbo is also available with all-wheel-drive.
Opel Insignia 2014 - 1.6 SIDI turbo with 125 kW/170 hp and 260 Nm (up to 280 Nm with overboost)
An alternative and extremely economic powertrain option is the
103 kW/140 hp Opel Insignia 1.4 LPG with maximum torque of 200 Nm. It
meets – like its petrol version - the stringent guidelines of the future
Euro 6 emissions standard. With fuel consumption of 7.6 l/100 km
(Sports Tourer: 7.9 l/100 km) in the MVEG combined cycle and low CO2 emissions of 124 g/km (Sports Tourer: 129 g/km CO2), the Insignia LPG model is unrivalled in efficiency class A.
A style of its own: Award-winning Opel design language with premium flair
The new Insignia evolves the multi-award-winning Opel design
philosophy “sculptural artistry meets German precision” in the mid-size
segment. The design theme articulates premium aspiration and dynamics
with an unmistakable low-and-wide front graphic to visually pronounce
its wide stance. The high-gloss chrome grille is wider and lower than
before. The brand bar that cradles the Opel logo is leaner and includes
winglets that link the eye to the re-designed headlamps. Depending on
trim version, these come with bi-xenon lamps including the safety
lighting system AFL+. All headlamps are executed in high gloss black
with embedded chrome accents that enhance the technology within. The
up-level headlamps include a wing signature daytime running light
featuring energy-saving LEDs.

The lower front fascia inserts are
designed to appear slim and wide, in order to emphasize the upper grille
size. Fog lamps are combined with wide black inserts and chrome
accents. These grow from thin to thick as they near the wheelhouse to
pronounce the width of the front design and the Opel Insignia’s
top-class design.
Opel Insignia 2014 - New wider front grill
The side view of the new Insignia sedan and hatchback are clearly
more differentiated than before through their unique tailgates and
integrated spoiler design. The roofline of the five-door model fades out
not until it reaches the spoiler trailing edge to emphasize a classic
coupé silhouette. On the four-door variant, the crease line continues
along the edge of the spoiler to emphasize length on the elegant sedan.

Opel Insignia 2014 - New rear end design
This is also echoed in the rear, where the new Insignia features a
wider and lower proportioned rear end design. The high-gloss chrome
brand bar has been positioned lower on the tailgate and includes the
brand logo. It extends into the tail lamps to include the slim-look
reverse functions. The tail / stop functions of the split 2-piece tail
lamps are executed as LEDs on all levels for sedan and hatchback.
Characteristic for all body versions is the light design as a sharp
“wing” signature.

The new Opel Insignia also offers a host of technology, safety and
comfort highlights. These include state-of-the-art radar and
camera-based assistance systems ranging from adaptive cruise control to
side blind zone alert, forward collision alert and premium seats with
the AGR seal of approval and the keyless entry and start system “Open
& Start”, to name just a few.

gasoline engine and Start/Stop, it already comes with extensive
standard equipment. This includes leather steering wheel, comfort seats,
air conditioning and stereo radio 400 B.T. with 4.2 inch colour
display, MP3 compatibility, audio streaming, USB- and Bluetooth
