Abstract
A device for triggering a control and/or warning process in a motor vehicle has sensors for determining the existing value of the crosswind actually acting on the vehicle. A crosswind warning device for motor vehicles which permits of a reliable warning for the driver even under varying conditions of the wind, has a first device for the determination and evaluation of the limiting value of crosswind in the motor vehicle for determining a crosswind speed limiting value which is dependent on the actual travel conditions of the vehicle. The values detected by a second device for the determination of the existing crosswind value are fed to the first device and compared with the detected crosswind speed limiting values. A driver-information device is actuated as a function of the comparison.
