Functions of ESP Crosswind Assist
Crosswind Assist does not work if ESP
vated or disabled due to a malfunction.
Crosswind Assist does not react under the follow‐
ing conditions:
The vehicle is subjected to severe jolts and
R
vibrations, e.g. as a result of uneven surfaces
or potholes.
The vehicle loses traction, e.g. on snow or ice
R
or when aquaplaning.
The driver is performing sudden and large
R
steering movements.
Crosswind Assist is operational again as soon as
the driving conditions return to normal.
Crosswind Assist detects strong crosswind gusts
that can impair ability of your vehicle to drive
straight ahead. Crosswind Assist intervenes
depending on the direction and strength of the
crosswind.
A stabilising brake application helps you to keep
the vehicle on track.
Information is shown in the instrument cluster in
the event of a clearly discernible intervention by
Crosswind Assist.

Function of ESP trailer stabilisation
& WARNING Risk of accident in poor road
and weather conditions
In poor road and weather conditions, the
trailer stabilisation cannot prevent lurching of
the vehicle/trailer combination. Trailers with
a high centre of gravity may tip over before
®
ESP detects this.
Always adapt your driving style to suit
#
the current road and weather condi‐
tions.
®
ESP trailer stabilisation counteracts critical driv‐
ing situations in good time and thereby provides
considerable assistance when driving with a
trailer. Trailer stabilisation is part of ESP
If the sensor system and evaluation logic detect
trailer swinging movements, ESP
sation initially brakes individual vehicle wheels in
a targeted manner. It thus counteracts swinging
movements. If the swinging movements do not
stop, the vehicle is braked until the vehicle/
trailer combination is stabilised. If necessary, the
vehicle's engine output is limited.
If your vehicle with trailer (vehicle/trailer combi‐
nation) starts to swerve, you are able to stabilise
the vehicle/trailer combination only by braking.
®
ESP trailer stabilisation helps you to stabilise
the vehicle/trailer combination in this situation.
®
ESP trailer stabilisation is active above speeds
of 65 km/h.
®
If ESP is deactivated because of a malfunction,
trailer stabilisation will not function.
