Opel introduces full LED adaptive lighting to new Zafira Tourer and Mokka X

Opel is introducing Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL) and full LED headlamps to its new Zafira Tourer and Mokka X models. The optional AFL LED headlamps produce a bright white light that automatically adapts to the driving situation, with nine individual functions that both optimise visibility and save energy.

"The widespread availability of intelligent LED technology is the best way to significantly reduce the risks of night-time driving," said Brit Mark Adams, Vice President, Design Europe.

"The new Opel Zafira Tourer and Mokka X with their optional AFL LED headlamps are important steps towards realising this potential."

Opel recognised the risks of night driving a number of years ago. It was the first manufacturer to bring AFL with bi-xenon headlamps to the compact market in 2003, and the Opel Astra was the first compact car with cornering lights in 2004, followed by the Zafira in 2005.

Embracing its tradition of making innovative technology features available across the product range, Opel introduced halogen headlamp-based AFL in the Corsa in 2006.

Opel now offers AFL in almost every passenger car model and the technology is developing constantly. For example, IntelliLux LED Matrix Light, which takes LED technology to the highest level, made its world premiere in the compact class last year on the new Opel Astra which was launched locally last month.
