Provides a rearward view along the passenger side of the car at any speed. | |||||||
When a panic stop is sensed, fully applies the brakes. | |||||||

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 | |||||||
Climate Control | |||||||

Wipers automatically turn on and adjust their speed based on input from a rain sensor. | |||||||
Ducts under front seats direct heated air to the second row. | |||||||
Time between wipes can be precisely adjusted. | |||||||
Engine / Motor | |||||||
Valves open in the exhaust at high rpm and/or during brisk acceleration, for power boost and/or richer sound. Valves can also be opened with a switch. | |||||||
