Rear disc brakes. | ||||||||||||||||||
If active, automatically move forward when the vehicle is rear-ended. Note: becoming less common. | ||||||||||||||||||
Automatically pulse the brakes in hard stops to prevent wheels from locking up, making it possible to brake and steer at the same time. | ||||||||||||||||||
When a panic stop is sensed, fully applies the brakes. | ||||||||||||||||||
Mandatory, in all cars. | ||||||||||||||||||
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. | ||||||||||||||||||

Ducts under front seats direct heated air to the second row. | ||||||||||||||||||
Time between wipes can be precisely adjusted. | ||||||||||||||||||
Drivetrain | ||||||||||||||||||
When one front wheel spins, the differential locks up, sending power to the wheel with better traction. | ||||||||||||||||||

Moldings on the bodysides, to protect against door dings in parking lots. | ||||||||||||||||||
Increasingly often these are not actually connected to the exhaust. | ||||||||||||||||||
Can be small lip spoiler or a larger raised spoiler. | ||||||||||||||||||
