Crosswind Assist
General information
Strong crosswinds can cause your vehicle to
deviate from a straight course. The crosswind
driving assistance function integrated in ESP
noticeably reduces these impairments.

ESP intervenes with stabilizing braking to assist
you in keeping the vehicle in the lane.
