Function of ESP® Crosswind Assist
ESP® Crosswind Assist detects suddenly occurring crosswinds. A targeted brake application on one side stabilises the vehicle and assists you in keeping the vehicle in the lane. In this case, the instrument cluster displays a corresponding message with the traffic sign for a strong crosswind.
ESP® Crosswind Assist is active above a vehicle speed of 80 km/h when driving straight or slightly cornering.
ESP® Crosswind Assist does not react under the following conditions:
The vehicle is subjected to severe jolts and vibrations, e.g. as a result of uneven surfaces or potholes.
The vehicle loses traction, e.g. on snow or ice or when aquaplaning.
