| 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. | ||||||||
| Applies the brakes to hold the vehicle in place on an incline. Incomplete data, so only displayed when pricing a single vehicle. | ||||||||

| Can be driven deflated for about 50 miles. Usually harm ride quality. Cars with these often have no spare tire. | ||||||||
| Uses the brakes to channel torque to the outside wheels and counteract understeer. Similar to stability control, but proactive, and acting to improve cornering performance rather than prevent loss of control. | ||||||||
| When a drive wheel slips, it is braked and/or engine power is reduced, restoring traction. | ||||||||
| Cargo Management | ||||||||
| Usually part of an overhead console. | ||||||||
| Climate Control | ||||||||

| Drivetrain | ||||||||
| The center differential can be manually adjusted to vary the torque split front to rear. | ||||||||
| When one front wheel spins, the differential locks up, sending power to the wheel with better traction. | ||||||||
| When one rear wheel spins, the differential locks up, sending power to the wheel with better traction. | ||||||||
