| 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. | |||
| Cargo Management | |||
