2019 SUBARU IMPREZA - 4S3GTAB68K3746162 - BADVIN Report

A keyless ignition system permits starting a car without a physical key being inserted into an ignition. Instead, a small device known as a "key fob" transmits a code to a computer in the vehicle when the fob is within a certain close range. When the coded signal matches the code embedded in the vehicle's computer, a number of systems within the car are activated, including the starter system. This allows the car to be started by simply pressing a button on the dashboard while the key fob is left in a pocket or a purse. The vehicle is usually shut down by pushing the same button.

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.

A CIB system is an automatic emergency braking system designed to detect an impending forward crash with another vehicle. CIB systems automatically apply the brakes in a crash imminent situation to slow or stop the vehicle, avoiding the crash or reducing its severity, if the driver does not brake in response to a forward collision alert.

An FCW system monitors a vehicle's speed, the speed of the vehicle in front of it, and the distance between the vehicles. If the vehicles get too close due to the speed of either vehicle, the FCW system will warn the driver of the rear vehicle of an impending crash so that the driver can apply the brakes or take evasive action, such as steering, to prevent a potential crash. FCW systems provide an audible, visual, or haptic warning, or any combination thereof, to alert the driver of an FCW-equipped vehicle of a potential collision.

An LDW system monitors lane markings and alerts the driver if their vehicle drifts out of their lane without a turn signal or any control input indicating the lane departure is intentional. An audio, visual or other alert warns the driver of the unintentional lane shift so the driver can steer the vehicle back into its lane.

An LKA system prevents a driver from unintentionally drifting out of the intended travel lane. LKA systems use information provided by Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system sensors to determine whether a vehicle is about to unintentionally move out of its lane of travel. If so, LKA activates and corrects the steering, brakes or accelerates one or more wheels, or does both, resulting in the vehicle returning to its intended lane of travel.

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.

ACC automatically adjusts the vehicle's speed to keep a pre-set distance from the vehicle in front of it.

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.

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.

This is a catch-all field for storing additional engine information that does not fit in any of the other engine fields.

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.

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.

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 higher bound of GVWR range for the vehicle.

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.

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).

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.

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 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).

This field describes the type of seat belt, such as manual or automatic. Automatic seat belts automatically close over riders in a vehicle. Automatic seat belts were mainly used in some older model GM, Nissan, and Honda vehicles and are rarely seen now.

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 knee air bags, which deploy from a car's lower dashboard, are meant to distribute impact forces on an occupant's legs in the case of a crash, thereby reducing leg injuries.

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