Make cambers more negative.
Most Japanese cars give 0° camber, which is no good imo.

recently i notice tayar eat outside. prolly camber out of spec.
will make alignment more negative tarik back

expensive car need to drive faster baru activate

Function of ESP® Crosswind Assist
ESP® Crosswind Assist detects sudden gusts of side wind and helps the driver to keep the vehicle in the lane:
ESP® Crosswind Assist is active at vehicle speeds between approx. 75 km/h and 200 km/h when driving straight ahead or cornering slightly.
The vehicle is stabilised by means of individual brake application on one side.

So for this Crosswind Assist feature to kick in, one has to drive even faster, so that the individual brakes would come on automatically. Why no just drive slower then ? Don't tell me that this Crosswind Assist when it functions at top speed, it will keep the vehicle in the same lane, correct ?

benz say so. their gl serie (gla glc gle those) got support.

1:15 ~1:48 s time stamp are important points to note.

Whether it's fast or slow, I presume it would be safe to assume that generally such truck driver would drive within the speed limit but even then, notice the report went on to say, drivers pulling over when they noticed the trailer started to sway etc. Once swaying fish tail or dog wagging its tail starts to happen it's very hard to recover from it. Actually it's all about forces. The moment crosswind force exceeds the downward force of a vehicle, that vehicle is a goner.

Even it was mentioned that the tow truck on rescue mission wouldn't do anything for the fallen over truck until to strong winds had died down. The risk increases trying to do stupid things.

Come to think of it, Crosswind Assist sounds very much like Lane Keep Assist.
*
lane keep using steering motion. driver alert
cross assist using brake. steering no motion. driver steady

Heavy items is a plus during crosswind but since you went on to say that swaying still happened to Myvi G3 with heavy load, those must be some pretty strong crosswinds.

yalo. kinda rare to get wind from two direction (to right immediately to left).

maybe spring/shock press down nearly end. no more allowance.
i even hit bumpstop (suspension rubber) along d way

fast or slow, surface area matter most in crosswind problems.

low level crosswind gonna push you off course.
if anyone remember force vector (i dont think this is the accurate use of it), add speed, just maybe, less veering off course.
or sell the myvi, get a Merc with crosswind stablization  laugh.gif

high level crosswind...
well, if it gonna flip is gonna flip.
unless you mod (reducing surface area) your car to slide the crosswind. 
but on a serious note, crosswind is no joke.
best solution, pick a route with no to little crosswind or wait for it to die.
*
open both window can or not. i dont mind one.
less surface area.

Did you pump your tire or is your car loaded with people?

For me if I pump my tire before travelling i usually will feel more crosswind compare to didn't pump.
