Exactly. I feel that's a typo. I'll send a note to my Lexus contacts.

Full-time all-wheel drive, with standard Vehicle Dynamics Integrated
Management (VDIM)4 (GS 350 AWD)

But doing the VSC/TRAC defeat is not a VDIM off function.

Agree. Whether the GS350 has VDIM or not, the defeat button only disables VSC/Trac and not the entire (VDIM) system.

It could still have VDIM, the IS350 doesnt have ECB or VGRS, but does indeed have VDIM and the defeat button.

Let's see what Flip's contacts have to say . . .
