Description
Strong winds hit the sides of the vehicle, but the system prevents the vehicle from leaving its lane.
How this technology works
Crosswind stabilization is a feature that reduces the wind’s effect on the sides of a vehicle. It helps the vehicle stay in its lane in strong winds or when passed by a large vehicle, like a transport truck.
Operation
Using sensors, this system can detect when strong crosswinds are pushing the vehicle off its course. The system automatically applies the brakes to combat the effect of the crosswind.
