For additional control, the LS features the breakthrough Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) [1] system. While conventional vehicle control features wait until a loss of traction has occurred, VDIM can predict and take steps to help prevent loss of traction during a turn by employing multiple vehicle features. When a series of sensors detects a problem, the system is designed to use a combination of individual-wheel braking, throttle activation and steering assistance to seamlessly correct the situation before a skid actually occurs, helping the driver keep the vehicle on track. On slippery surfaces, Traction Control (TRAC) helps maximize the grip of each driven wheel separately to reduce wheelspin.

[1]Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) is an electronic system designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control under adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether VDIM will be effective in preventing a loss of control. Please see your Owner's Manual for further details.
