Often must be ordered with power rear side windows, if these are available. | |||
Enter and start the vehicle without removing the key from your pocket. | |||
Check on car and remotely control various functions (remote start, locks, lights, and/or HVAC) from a telephone or computer. Can require a monthly fee. | |||

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. | |||
If collision detection system senses imminent collision, applies moderate braking. | |||

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. | |||
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. | |||
Wide angle camera allows the driver to see well to each side from the very front of the car when pulling out of parking spaces or side streets. | |||
