Crosswind Stability Control (CSC)

CSC works with ESC and Motor Driven Power Steering (MDPS) to stabilize the vehicle when it shakes, or loses traction from a strong crosswind.

CSC system operation

  1. Crosswind stability control activated.

  • When driving over a bridge or next to a large truck or bus, strong crosswinds may cause the vehicle to shake or lose traction. The CSC automatically adjusts the vehicle position and steering wheel to correct course.

  • When activated, the ESC () indicator light illuminates and warning message appears on the cluster display with a warning sound.

  • When activated, the driver may feel a slight vibration of the vehicle and steering wheel, due to braking and MDPS.
