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 under the follow‐
ing conditions:
R
The vehicle is subjected to severe jolts and
vibrations, e.g. as a result of uneven surfaces
or potholes.
R
The vehicle loses traction, e.g. on snow or ice
or when aquaplaning.
R
The driver is performing sudden and large
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.
Crosswind Assist is active above a vehicle speed
of 80 km/h when the vehicle is driving straight
ahead or cornering gently.

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
®
trailer stabili‐
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.
Function of EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distri‐
bution)
EBD has the following characteristics:
R
monitoring and controlling the braking force
on the rear wheels
R
improving driving stabilisation when braking,
especially on bends
