Often must be ordered with power rear side windows, if these are available. | |||
Unlock and lock the car using buttons on the keyfob. | |||
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. | |||
When a panic stop is sensed, fully applies the brakes. | |||
Mandatory, in all cars. | |||
Deploys extended duration side curtain airbags when the vehicle rolls over. Usually included on tall vehicles. Rare on others. | |||
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 | |||
Do not have to open entire tailgate to access the cargo area. | |||
Usually part of an overhead console. | |||
Center console that can be removed for use as a cooler. | |||
Large storage area beneath the load floor, often compartmentalized. | |||
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. | |||
Exterior | |||
Increasingly often these are not actually connected to the exhaust. | |||
Can be small lip spoiler or a larger raised spoiler. | |||
Protects part of the underbody from rocks when off-roading. | |||
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. | |||
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. | |||
XM or Sirius. Includes a subscription for three to six months, after which monthly fees apply. | |||
No value because no way to compare across models. | |||
Instruments, Lights, and Mirrors | |||
Light wide area close in front of the vehicle. | |||
Front row reading lights. | |||
Includes value of manual remote mirrors. | |||
Reports engine speed. | |||
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. | |||
Seat must be removed for maximum cargo capacity and a flat load floor. | |||
Suspension, Wheels, and Tires | |||
Lug nuts that can only be removed using a special key. Prevents theft of wheels. |
