Brakes, Airbags, and Other Safety | |
Rear disc brakes. | |

In some convertibles. Automatically raise when a rollover is sensed. | |
When a panic stop is sensed, fully applies the brakes. | |
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. | |
Torso-level front row airbags, usually contained in the seats. Many also protect the head, but not as well as side curtain airbags. | |
Applies the brakes to hold the vehicle in place on an incline. Incomplete data, so only displayed when pricing a single vehicle. | |
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. | |
Periodically uploads and emails a vehicle diagnostic check. | |

Flaps mounted behind two to four wheels, to protect the body from mud and rocks. | |

Enables hands-free communication by wirelessly connecting a cell phone to a microphone and the vehicle's stereo speakers. | |
Integrates an iPod with the vehicle's controls and speakers. Usually included if there is a USB port, but can also rely on a proprietary port. | |
Audio system capable of playing discs with MP3 files. | |
Screen-based navigation system. | |
SD, CF, PCMCIA, or other digital media reader. | |
In-vehicle security, communications, and diagnostics system. For 2011 and newer cars often includes a remote app. Monthly fee after the first 1-12 months. | |
Instruments, Lights, and Mirrors | |
We haven't given this feature a value because it's hard to tell which cars have it. | |
Lights illuminate area just ahead and to the side of the vehicle when the turn signals are used or the steering wheel is turned. | |
Light wide area close in front of the vehicle. | |
Clears ice and fog from mirrors. | |
