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.

Engine displacement (in cubic centimeters) is the volume swept by all the pistons inside the cylinders of a reciprocating engine in a single movement from top dead center to bottom dead center.

Engine displacement (in cubic inches) is the volume swept by all the pistons inside the cylinders of a reciprocating engine in a single movement from top dead center to bottom dead center.

Engine displacement (in liters) is the volume swept by all the pistons inside the cylinders of a reciprocating engine in a single movement from top dead center to bottom dead center.

Engine brake is the horsepower (hp) at the engine output shaft. Engine Brake (hp) From is the lower value of the range.

Engine configuration defines how engine cylinders are arranged. Common values are V6 for V-shaped arrangement, I4 or L4 for in-line arrangement.

Engine model is a name that a manufacturer applies to a family of engine.

This is a numerical field to store the number of cylinders in an engine. Common values for passenger cars are 4 or 6.

Fuel type defines the fuel used to power the vehicle. For vehicles that have two power sources, such as plug-in hybrid vehicle, both primary fuel type and secondary fuel type will be provided.

Valve train design defines engine camshaft design and control. Common values are single overhead cam (SOHC), dual overhead cam (DOHC), overhead valve (OHV), etc.

Body Class presents the body type based on 49 CFR 565.12(b): "Body type means the general configuration or shape of a vehicle distinguished by such characteristics as the number of doors or windows, cargo-carrying features and the roofline (e.g., sedan, fastback, hatchback)." Definitions are not provided for individual body types in the regulation.

This is a numerical field to store the number of doors on a vehicle.

Curb weight (in pounds) is the total weight of a vehicle with standard equipment, all necessary operating consumables such as motor oil, transmission oil, coolant, air conditioning refrigerant, and a full tank of fuel, while not loaded with either passengers or cargo.

Gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is the maximum operating weight of a vehicle including the vehicle's chassis, body, engine, engine fluids, fuel, accessories, driver, passengers and cargo, but excluding that of the trailers. Per 49 CFR 565.15, Class 1 is further broken down to Class A-D; Class 2 is further broken down to Class E-H. This field captures the lower bound of GVWR range for the vehicle.

Wheel base is the distance between the centers of the front and rear wheels measured in inches. This field captures the lower bound of the wheel base range.

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
• Mega: 4 doors, 2 rows of seats (with a bigger cabin than crew cab type)

For medium- and heavy-duty (MDHD) trucks, there are several categories as listed below.

• Cab Beside Engine
• CAE: Cab Above Engine
• CBE: Cab Behind Engine
• COE: Cab Over Engine or Flat Nose: Driver sits on top of the front axle and engine
• LCF: Low Cab Forward
• Conventional: Driver sits behind the engine
• Non-Tilt
• Tilt

Per 49 CFR 565, Make is a name that a manufacturer applies to a group of vehicles or engines.

Per 49 CFR 565, Model means a name that a manufacturer applies to a family of vehicles of the same type, make, line, series and body type.

If the model year (MY) is supplied when the VIN is decoded, such as from a crash report or a vehicle registration record, the MY value will be the supplied MY, even if the MY decoded from the VIN differs from the supplied MY. If the MY is not supplied when the VIN is decoded, the MY value will be decoded from the 10th character in the VIN.

This data element captures the city of the manufacturing plant where the manufacturer affixes the VIN.

This data element captures the country of the manufacturing plant where the manufacturer affixes the VIN.

This data element captures the State or Province name within the Plant Country of the manufacturing plant where the manufacturer affixes the VIN.

Per 49 CFR 565, Series means a name that a manufacturer applies to a subdivision of a "line" denoting price, size or weight identification and that is used by the manufacturer for marketing purposes.

Trim levels further identify a vehicle by a particular set of special features. Higher trim levels either will add to the features of the base (entry-level model), or replace them with something else.

This field defines the type of the vehicle based on the World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI).

This field defines the type of different entertainment systems in vehicles.

This data element is a numeric field to store the number of seats in a vehicle.

An internal NHTSA field to capture the body type of the vehicle.

An internal NHTSA field to capture the Make of the vehicle.

An internal NHTSA field to capture the Model of the vehicle.

Brake system type is the type of brake systems used to stop and hold the vehicle or combination of motor vehicles.

Drive type stores information about vehicle drivetrain configuration. The most common drive types for passenger cars, crossover vehicles, and pickup trucks are front-wheel drive (FWD), rear-wheel drive (RWD), all-wheel drive (AWD), and 4-wheel drive (4WD).

Transmission speed is a numerical field to capture the number of speeds for a transmission, such as 6 for a six-speed automatic or manual transmission.

Transmission style provides information about the type of transmissions. The major types of transmissions are manual transmission, automatic transmission, continuously variable transmission (CVT), and dual-clutch transmission (DCT).

Other Restraint Info field is used to code additional information about restraint system that cannot be coded in any other restraint fields.

This yes/no field captures whether or not the vehicle has a pretensioner, a device designed to make seatbelts even more effective by removing the slack from a seatbelt as soon as a crash is detected or if the system senses excessive seatbelt tension on the driver's or passenger's seatbelt.

This field captures the location of curtain air bags. Curtain air bags are side air bags that protect the head.

This field captures the location of frontal air bags. Frontal air bags are generally designed to deploy in "moderate to severe" frontal or near-frontal crashes.

This field captures the location of side air bags, typically designed for three areas of added protection: chest/torso, head, or both.
