Brakes, Airbags, and Other Safety | |||
Rear disc brakes. | |||
If active, automatically move forward when the vehicle is rear-ended. Note: becoming less common. | |||
Only listed when pricing a single model because insufficient data for all cars. | |||
Automatically pulse the brakes in hard stops to prevent wheels from locking up, making it possible to brake and steer at the same time. | |||
Mandatory, in all cars. | |||
Airbags contained just above the window level. Except in cars without a rear seat usually cover first and second row. | |||
Two types: a warning light when a tire is low on air and a pressure readout for each tire. | |||
Cargo Management | |||
Usually part of an overhead console. | |||
Climate Control | |||
Filters exterior air before it enters the passenger compartment. No default value because most cars have them, even in cases where they're not in the official list of features. | |||
Ducts under front seats direct heated air to the second row. | |||
Time between wipes can be precisely adjusted. | |||
Exterior | |||
Side skirts and possibly a front air dam and rear apron. | |||
Moldings on the bodysides, to protect against door dings in parking lots. | |||
Increasingly often these are not actually connected to the exhaust. | |||
Can be small lip spoiler or a larger raised spoiler. | |||
Infotainment | |||
Jack for an iPod or similar device. No value because of incomplete data. Will soon be standard on nearly every car. | |||
Includes CD player. | |||

Seats and Interior Trim | |||

Suspension, Wheels, and Tires | |||

Lug nuts that can only be removed using a special key. Prevents theft of wheels. |
