VDIM uses an active control strategy that takes signals from the steering angle, yaw rate, deceleration, brake pressure, brake pedal stroke, wheel speed and other sensors. Their signals are used individually by the various safety systems but collectively by VDIM. These signals are processed faster by the VDIM computer’s special (proprietary) software and control is actuated before the vehicle exceeds its movement threshold. It also influences the variable gear ratio steering. With VDIM interaction, the amount of assist can be instantly varied.

Very nice explantion Koz, I was reading about this last year and loved the safety design. The IS-F has a sport mode for the VDIM. It allows for more fun I take it. Maybe IS350 CL members can post their success in accident avoidance with VDIM?
