Vehicle Stability Features

[1]2010 model year shown.

Utilizing a sophisticated network of sensors that monitor everything from speed, to steering, to braking, the available Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) [1] system can anticipate a loss of traction and correct it before it occurs. When VDIM detects a potential loss of traction, it seamlessly integrates steering, braking, Traction Control (TRAC) and Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) [1] to help the driver maintain control. All within a fraction of a second. The system is so advanced it can even sense if the wheels are driving on different surfaces—a wet road on the left and an icy shoulder on the right, for instance—and add steering torque to either side to help account for the difference.

[1]Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) are electronic systems designed to help the driver maintain control under adverse conditions. They are not substitutes for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether VSC and VDIM will be effective in preventing a loss of control.
