Often must be ordered with power rear side windows, if these are available. | ||||
Enter and start the vehicle without removing the key from your pocket. | ||||

Brakes, Airbags, and Other Safety | ||||
Rear disc brakes. | ||||
If active, automatically move forward when the vehicle is rear-ended. Note: becoming less common. | ||||
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. | ||||
Applies the brakes to hold the vehicle in place on an incline. Incomplete data, so only displayed when pricing a single vehicle. | ||||

Alerts driver when the vehicle seems to be wandering out of the lane. | ||||
Prepares brakes (and sometimes also seat belts) for use when radar detects an imminent collision. Might also move seats and close windows. Early Lexus system used laser. Since automatic braking became common it has been unclear which models have this feat | ||||
Rearview camera connected to display screen on the instrument panel. Often requires navigation system. | ||||
Airbags contained just above the window level. Except in cars without a rear seat usually cover first and second row. | ||||
Selectively applies the brakes to prevent excessive understeer or oversteer (spinning). | ||||
Two types: a warning light when a tire is low on air and a pressure readout for each tire. | ||||
When a drive wheel slips, it is braked and/or engine power is reduced, restoring traction. | ||||
Cargo Management | ||||
Usually part of an overhead console. | ||||
Large storage area beneath the load floor, often compartmentalized. | ||||
Climate Control | ||||
Maintains set temperature in front row. Requires air conditioning and does not include its value. | ||||

Ionizes air to clean it. Might create high levels of ozone. | ||||
Ducts under front seats direct heated air to the second row. | ||||
Time between wipes can be precisely adjusted. | ||||
Makes rain bead up and roll off the windows. | ||||
Exterior | ||||
Can be small lip spoiler or a larger raised spoiler. | ||||
Solar cells power fans that help keep the car's interior cool when it is parked. With electric vehicles also provide a negligible amount of energy for running the car. | ||||
Infotainment | ||||
Jack for an iPod or similar device. No value because of incomplete data. Will soon be standard on nearly every car. | ||||
Uses Bluetooth rather than a cable to integrate audio device. Requires compatible audio device and/or phone. | ||||

Clears ice and fog from mirrors. | ||||
Includes value of non-illuminated vanity mirror. | ||||
Includes value of non-illuminated vanity mirror. | ||||
Standard or optional in some hybrid vehicles. Fancy display of power flows, enhanced trip computer information. | ||||
LED headlights last longer and use less energy than other types. | ||||
Front row reading lights. | ||||
Includes value of manual remote mirrors. | ||||
Reports average fuel economy, and perhaps also instantaneous fuel economy, distance to empty, average speed, and other stats. | ||||
Seats and Interior Trim | ||||
Seat folds to enlarge cargo area. Unless the seat is also removable, it usually folds flat or nearly flat. | ||||
Seating surfaces are trimmed in leather; other upholstery tends to be leatherette. | ||||
