For instructions, see "If you cannot shift transmission selector lever" on page 358 in Section 4. Vehicle dynamics integrated management (VDIM) is designed to control vehicle motion continuously using all possible functions to stabilize the motion. It is important to keep the tires in good condition for the system to properly control vehicle motion. Refer to the information for tires on pages 390 through 398 in Section 7−2. The system has the functions listed below. Each function becomes operational when the vehicle speed exceeds the speeds as shown below. CAUTION D Do not rely excessively on the VDIM.
