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. | ||||||||

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. | ||||||||
