If traction on the road surface is not sufficient,
even ASC will not allow you to pull away without
difficulty. The type of tyres and total weight of the
vehicle as well as the gradient of the road also
play a crucial role.
If ASC intervenes, the

instrument display flashes.

Functions of ESP
®
Crosswind Assist
Crosswind Assist does not work if ESP
®
is deacti‐
vated or disabled due to a malfunction.
Crosswind Assist does not react:
R
in the event of severe jolts and vibrations,
e.g. as a result of uneven surfaces or pot‐
holes
R
if the vehicle loses traction, e.g. on snow or
ice or when aquaplaning
R
in the event of sudden or large steering move‐
ments by the driver
Crosswind Assist is operational again as soon as
the driving conditions return to normal.
Crosswind Assist detects strong crosswind gusts
that can impair the roadholding of your vehicle
when driving 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.
Crosswind Assist is active above a vehicle speed
of 80 km/h when the vehicle is driving straight
ahead or cornering gently.
