Crosswind Assist
Details & Technology
Crosswind Assist detects strong gusts of crosswind and helps the driver to stay on course. At
speeds of 50 mph and over it corrects the vehicle's course by means of automatic braking
intervention on the wheels on the side of the vehicle facing the wind. The specific braking
intervention by Hydraulic Brake Assist which is activated by ADAPTIVE ESP® produces a yaw
response which markedly reduces the track offset. In this way, Crosswind Assist gives the
driver a substantially enhanced feeling of safety and prevents inappropriate reactions. The
system filters out weak crosswind signals and Crosswind Assist becomes active only when a
certain threshold is exceeded. Crosswind Assist is available for crew buses and panel vans in
the standard, long and extra-long body variants and in the 3.5 t and 3.88 t weight variants.
