Active Safety System
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) means a portion of a service brake system that automatically controls the degree of rotational wheel slip during braking by: (1) Sensing the rate of angular rotation of the wheels; (2) Transmitting signals regarding the rate of wheel angular rotation to one or more controlling devices that interpret those signals and generate responsive controlling output signals; and (3) Transmitting those controlling signals to one or more modulator devices that adjust brake actuating forces in response to those signals.

Auto-Reverse System for Windows and Sunroofs
An auto-reverse system enables power windows and sunroofs on motor vehicles to automatically reverse direction when such power windows and panels detect an obstruction. This feature can prevent children and others from being trapped, injured, or killed by the power windows and sunroofs.
Standard
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
ESC is a computerized technology that improves a vehicle's stability by detecting and reducing loss of traction (skidding). When ESC detects loss of steering control, it automatically applies the brakes to help steer the vehicle in the driver's intended direction. Braking is automatically applied to wheels individually, such as the outer front wheel to counter oversteer, or the inner rear wheel to counter understeer. Some ESC systems also reduce engine power until control is regained.
Standard
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Type
A TPMS is an electronic system designed to monitor the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on various types of vehicles. TPMS can be divided into two different types - direct and indirect. Direct TPMS employ pressure sensors on each wheel, either internal or external. The sensors physically measure the tire pressure in each tire and report it to the vehicle's instrument cluster or a corresponding monitor. Indirect TPMS does not use physical pressure sensors but measure air pressures by monitoring individual wheel rotational speeds and other signals available outside of the tire itself.
Direct
Traction Control
When the traction control computer detects a driven wheel or wheels spinning significantly faster than another, it invokes an electronic control unit to apply brake friction to wheels spinning due to loss of traction. This braking action on slipping wheels will cause power transfer to the wheels with traction due to the mechanical action within the differential.

Active Safety System / Backing Up and Parking
Backup Camera
A backup camera, also known as a rearview video system, helps prevent back-over crashes and protects our most vulnerable people - children and senior citizens - by providing an image of the area behind the vehicle. A backup camera helps the driver see behind the vehicle while in reverse.
Standard
Active Safety System / Forward Collision Prevention
Dynamic Brake Support (DBS)
A DBS system is an automatic emergency braking system designed to detect an impending forward crash with another vehicle. DBS systems automatically supplement the driver's braking in an effort to avoid a crash if the driver does not brake hard enough to avoid it.
Standard
Active Safety System / Lighting Technologies
Daytime Running Light (DRL)
DRL is an automotive lighting system on the front of a vehicle or bicycle, that automatically switches on when the vehicle is in drive, and emits white, yellow, or amber light to increase the conspicuity of the vehicle during daylight conditions.
Standard
Semiautomatic Headlamp Beam Switching
A semi-automatic headlamp beam switching device provides automatic or manual control of beam switching at the option of the driver. When the control is automatic, the headlamps switch from the upper beam to the lower beam when illuminated by the headlamps on an approaching car and switch back to the upper beam when the road ahead is dark. When the control is manual, the driver may obtain either beam manually regardless of the condition of lights ahead of the vehicle.

Cab Type
Cab type applies to both pickup truck and other medium- and heavy-duty trucks. The cab or cabin of a truck is the inside space in a truck where the driver is seated. For pickup trucks, the cab type is categorized by the combination number of doors and number of rows for seating. For medium- and heavy-duty trucks (MDHD), the cab type is categorized by the relative location of engine and cab.
For pickup trucks, there are four cab types.
- Regular: 2 door, 1 row of seats
- Extra/Super/Quad/Double/King/Extended: 2 doors, 2 rows of seats
- Crew/Super Crew/Crew Max: 4 doors, 2 rows of seats
