2009 Lexus IS IS 250 All Wheel Drive Description

The 2009 Lexus IS 250 AWD midsize sedan comes equipped with Lexus's all-wheel-drive system, which distributes torque 30/70 front to back under normal driving conditions to provide the feel of a rear-wheel-drive car. However, when road conditions require optimal traction, or when the driver manually changes the configuration, the system shifts to a 50/50 torque split between the front and rear wheels. The AWD system works in conjunction with the IS 250 AWD's other performance- and safety-related features, including active traction control, electronic stability control, and antilock brakes with brake assist and electronic brakeforce distribution. Power for the '09 IS 250 AWD comes from a 204-hp, 2.5-liter all-aluminum V6 engine, which links to a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission with intelligence. The engine posts fuel economy numbers of 21/29 mpg.
Inside, the '09 IS 250 AWD receives a number of updates, including a new instrument cluster, knee airbags for the driver and passenger, and fold-down rear-seat headrests, which help improve visibility out the back when the rear seat is unoccupied. Other standard interior features for the '09 IS 250 AWD include leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, 10-way power-adjustable front seats, and dual-zone automatic climate control. To keep passengers entertained, the IS 250 AWD comes with a 13-speaker audio system with an automatic sound levelizer and an in-dash 6-CD changer. In addition, owners can opt for a 14-speaker Mark Levinson surround-sound audio system with a 6-CD/DVD auto-changer. Other options include heated front seats, a voice-activated DVD navigation system, a backup camera with a full-color display, and Bluetooth wireless connectivity.Outside, updates for 2009 include revised front and rear bumpers and taillights, as well as a restyled grille. In addition, Lexus relocated the turn indicators from the front fender to the exterior side mirrors. The '09 IS 250 Base sedan rides on 17-inch, 10-spoke alloy wheels with all-season tires.
Packages Installed on this vehicle: Leather Package, Leather W/Moon Roof Package, X Package, Sport Package, Luxury w/Navigation Package. Nothing was spared on this vehicle every possible upgrade was purchased, including the Adaptive Headlight System which simply means that if you turn left the headlights will actually point left 15 degrees (versus just pointing straight ahead)

Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management

Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) is the most sophisticated handling and control system Lexus offers. Specially tuned for each vehicle on which it’s fitted, VDIM uses information from computer-linked sensors to compare actual vehicle performance to driver commands. In this way, it’s able to anticipate potential vehicle stability problems such as a skid or slide. VDIM then makes subtle interventions through a combination of braking, throttle, and steering – in most cases, invisible to the driver – to maximize control.

Vehicle Stability Control

The Lexus Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system is an active safety system that automatically helps to control a vehicle when it starts to slide – for example, when trying to turn at too high a speed. VSC compares driver braking and steering commands to the vehicle’s actual performance then activates individual brakes as needed and adjusts the throttle setting to help maintain stability and keep the vehicle on course.

Traction Control

The Lexus Traction Control (TRAC) system helps the vehicle maintain traction when accelerating in slippery conditions. It also engages when the available grip differs from one side of the vehicle to the other, such as when two wheels are on a gravel or grass verge. When drive wheels begin to slip, TRAC automatically adjusts engine power to keep the wheels from losing traction.

Antilock Braking System

The Lexus Antilock Braking System (ABS) uses sensors to monitor speed, traction, vehicle load and the driver’s applied brake force. The ABS then controls brake applications to minimize wheel lock-up, reducing the chance of the vehicle skidding. The result is shorter stopping distances on wet, gravely, sandy or other surfaces where traction is questionable.

Brake Assist

The Lexus Brake Assist (BA) system is a system designed to assist the driver during emergency braking by supplementing the braking power applied if the driver has not pushed hard enough on the pedal in an emergency braking situation. It works in conjunction with ABS to minimize lock-up during emergency situations.

Electronic Brake Force Distribution

The Lexus Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) system minimizes stopping distances by maximizing the braking power applied to those wheels that have the best grip. This system also automatically adjusts the fore/aft brake balance according to vehicle load, and the right/left brake balance if brakes are applied during cornering.

High-Intensity Discharge Headlamps

a Xenon gas bulb, these projector-beam HID headlamps use less power, last significantly longer and provide considerably more illumination than halogen bulbs.

Adaptive Front Lighting System

The Lexus Adaptive Front Lighting System pivots the driver-side headlamp up to 15 degrees to the left and the passenger-side headlamp up to five degrees to the right to help illuminate the road through turns.
