Mandatory, in all cars. | |||||
Torso-level front row airbags, usually contained in the seats. Many also protect the head, but not as well as side curtain airbags. | |||||
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. | |||||
