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. | ||||||

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. | ||||||
Alerts driver when approaching the preceding car too quickly. | ||||||
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. | ||||||

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. | ||||||
Automatically applies a front brake to counteract sway induced by a trailer. | ||||||
Cargo Management | ||||||
Usually part of an overhead console. | ||||||
Requires roof rails. Together constitute a roof rack. | ||||||
No crossbars. | ||||||
Climate Control | ||||||
Maintains set temperature in front row. Requires air conditioning and does not include its value. | ||||||
Temperature can be separately set for left and right sides of the passenger compartment. Requires air conditioning and does not include its value. | ||||||
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. | ||||||
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. | ||||||

Protective cladding extending partly onto the doors. | ||||||
Protective cladding extending partly onto the doors. | ||||||
Moldings on the bodysides, to protect against door dings in parking lots. | ||||||
