Crosswind Assist
General information
Strong crosswinds can cause your vehicle to
deviate from a straight course. The crosswind
driving assistance function integrated into
esp
®significantly reduces these effects.
esp®intervenes automatically according to
the direction and intensity of the crosswinds
affecting your vehicle.
esp
®intervenes with stabilizing braking to
assist you in keeping the vehicle in the lane.
crosswind assist is active at vehicle speeds
above 45 mph (70 km/h )when driving straight
ahead or cornering gently.
Important safety notes
crosswind assist does not work if esp®is dis-
abled because of a malfunction.
EBD (electronic brake force distribu-
tion)
General information
EBD monitors and controls the brake pressure
on the rear wheels to improve driving sta-
bility while braking.
Important safety notes
iObserve the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (Ypage 47).
GWARNING
If EBD is malfunctioning, the rear wheels
can lock, e.g. under full braking. This
increases the risk of skidding and an acci-
dent.
You should therefore adapt your driving
style to the different handling character-
istics. Have the brake system checked at a
qualified specialist workshop. Observe information regarding indicator
and warning lamps (
Ypage 134) as well as
display messages (Ypage 120).

slip, tip over or be flung around and
thereby hit vehicle occupants. There is a
risk of injury, particularly in the event of
sudden braking or a sudden change in
direction.
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping before
the journey.
