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. | ||||
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. | ||||
Deploys extended duration side curtain airbags when the vehicle rolls over. Usually included on tall vehicles. Rare on others. | ||||
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 | ||||

Usually part of an overhead console. | ||||
Center console that can be removed for use as a cooler. | ||||
Large storage area beneath the load floor, often compartmentalized. | ||||

Ducts under front seats direct heated air to the second row. | ||||

Infotainment | ||||
Jack for an iPod or similar device. No value because of incomplete data. Will soon be standard on nearly every car. | ||||

Seats and Interior Trim | ||||
Seat folds to enlarge cargo area. Unless the seat is also removable, it usually folds flat or nearly flat. | ||||
Seat adjusts back and forth to vary the split between the second row and the third row or cargo area. | ||||
Seat must be removed for maximum cargo capacity and a flat load floor. | ||||
