Brakes, Airbags, and Other Safety | ||
Rear disc brakes. | ||
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. | ||
In some convertibles. Automatically raise when a rollover is sensed. | ||
When a panic stop is sensed, fully applies the brakes. | ||
Mandatory, in all cars. | ||
Rearview camera connected to display screen on the instrument panel. Often requires navigation system. | ||
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. | ||
Can be driven deflated for about 50 miles. Usually harm ride quality. Cars with these often have no spare tire. | ||
When a drive wheel slips, it is braked and/or engine power is reduced, restoring traction. | ||

Wipers automatically turn on and adjust their speed based on input from a rain sensor. | ||
Vents at aft end of center console, in B-pillars, and/or in ceiling. | ||
Ducts under front seats direct heated air to the second row. | ||
Time between wipes can be precisely adjusted. | ||
Drivetrain | ||
When one rear wheel spins, the differential locks up, sending power to the wheel with better traction. | ||
The center differential can be manually locked using a button. Only for use at low speeds on loose surfaces. Engaging low range (where available) usually locks the center differential automatically. | ||
Exterior | ||
Protective cladding extending partly onto the doors. | ||
Increasingly often these are not actually connected to the exhaust. | ||
Flaps mounted behind two to four wheels, to protect the body from mud and rocks. | ||

Large spoiler stands well above the trunk or hatch. | ||
Infotainment | ||
Jacks for a video camera, game console, or other device with A/V output. | ||
Jack for an iPod or similar device. No value because of incomplete data. Will soon be standard on nearly every car. | ||
