Brakes, Airbags, and Other Safety | |||
Rear disc brakes. | |||
Automatically pulse the brakes in hard stops to prevent wheels from locking up, making it possible to brake and steer at the same time. | |||
Mirror-mounted lights indicate when another vehicle is in a blind spot. | |||
When a panic stop is sensed, fully applies the brakes. | |||
Warns of traffic coming from either direction when vehicle is in reverse, to prevent accidents when backing out of parking spaces. | |||
Applies the brakes to a slipping drive wheel to transfer torque to the other side, simulating the effect of a limited-slip differential. We haven't identified all applications, often implied by traction control. | |||
Mandatory, in all cars. | |||
Rearview camera connected to display screen on the instrument panel. Often requires navigation system. | |||
Deploys extended duration side curtain airbags when the vehicle rolls over. Usually included on tall vehicles. Rare on others. | |||
Airbag inflates under leading edge of seat cushion to prevent the passenger from sliding forward. | |||
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 | |||

No crossbars. | |||

Ducts under front seats direct heated air to the second row. | |||
Time between wipes can be precisely adjusted. | |||
Drivetrain | |||
The center differential can be manually locked using a button. Only for use at low speeds on loose surfaces. Engaging low range (where available) usually locks the center differential automatically. | |||
Exterior | |||
Protective cladding extending partly onto the doors. | |||
Moldings on the bodysides, to protect against door dings in parking lots. | |||
