Brakes, Airbags, and Other Safety | |
Rear disc brakes. | |

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. | |
Applies the brakes to a slipping drive wheel to transfer torque to the other side, simulating the effect of a limited-slip differential. We haven't identified all applications, often implied by traction control. | |
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. | |
Applies the brakes to hold the vehicle in place on an incline. Incomplete data, so only displayed when pricing a single vehicle. | |
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. | |
Periodically uploads and emails a vehicle diagnostic check. | |

Temperature can be separately set for left and right sides of the passenger compartment. Requires air conditioning and does not include its value. | |
Filters exterior air before it enters the passenger compartment. No default value because most cars have them, even in cases where they're not in the official list of features. | |

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. | |
