New 2008 Ford Mondeo Improves Lighting

 

The new Ford Mondeo now has smarter, safer lighting.   AFS incorporates halogen lamps linked to sensors which detect steering input and can swivel up to 15 degrees.   This system improves visibility when negotiating tight bends, particularly on roads where the only light source is the car’s headlamps.

 

In comparative tests between conventional halogen reflector lamps and AFS, the AFS lamps cast light an additional 10 metres into the bend.   Allied to static corner lighting, AFS greatly improves visibility.

 

The new Ford Mondeo can also be specified with Bi-Xenon lamps which include static cornering lights, plus automatic headlamps levelling and washer jets.    Bi-Xenons offer twice the light density on the road at one third of the energy input of conventional lights.

 

Tests show that while AFS headlamps have a range of 155metres Bi-Xenons illuminate up to 245metres of the road ahead.

 

AFS is standard on Ford Mondeo Titanium X models and is optional on Zetec, Ghia and Titanium models.   Bi-Xenon is optional on all models.
