Crosswind Assist
Crosswind assist helps keep the car on course when strong side winds push it sideways.
What is Crosswind Assist?
It is common in vans and tall vehicles. It works at higher speeds. It uses stability control. Gusts on bridges, in cuttings and when overtaking trucks are typical situations where the system helps. Roof boxes and empty vans are more affected by side wind. Reducing speed gives the driver more time to react. The system supports the driver but does not replace attention.
How it works
The system detects sideways drift and brakes individual wheels or adds steering correction.
Why it matters for your car
Slow down in strong winds. Hold the wheel firmly.
