| Embedded airbag pops glove compartment door outward in a collision. Provides protection similar to a knee airbag. | |||||||||
| 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. | |||||||||
| Automatically brakes car to avoid low-speed collisions. | |||||||||
| Mirror-mounted lights indicate when another vehicle is in a blind spot. | |||||||||
| When a panic stop is sensed, fully applies the brakes. | |||||||||
| Ceramic composite front brake rotors. | |||||||||
| Warns of traffic coming from either direction when vehicle is in reverse, to prevent accidents when backing out of parking spaces. | |||||||||
| Only listed if not standard on all trims. No value because no way to compare across models. | |||||||||
| 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. | |||||||||
| Alerts driver when approaching the preceding car too quickly. | |||||||||
| Mandatory, in all cars. | |||||||||
| Only listed if not standard on all trims. No value because no way to compare across models. | |||||||||

| Beeps signal distance to object behind vehicle. Parking aid. | |||||||||
| Warns driver of pedestrians in path of car. | |||||||||

| No default value because incomplete coverage acroass all models in database. | |||||||||
| When one rear wheel spins, the differential locks up, sending power to the wheel with better traction. | |||||||||
