| Rear disc brakes. | ||||||||
| If active, automatically move forward when the vehicle is rear-ended. Note: becoming less common. | ||||||||

| Mirror-mounted lights indicate when another vehicle is in a blind spot. | ||||||||
| 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. | ||||||||

| 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. | ||||||||
