The Electric E Brake can be set up to hold the Car from rolling back on a hill when you take your foot off the Service Brake and before you put it on the Gas Pedal. It is a bit of a pain when you change Brake Pads, cause the Screwjack, used has to be retracted before you can press the Caliper Piston back in.
My Car has a feature where it will apply the Brakes if something suddenly appears in front of Me, or the Vehicle ahead abruptly slows down. It also detects Jaywalkers(though to me they are Fair Game... Got one added to my Scorecard in Dec 2007)
Even when it far colder than Freezing, I rarely turn on the Seat Heaters(have had them in pretty much every car since the mid 90s), but I have the Seat Fans going as soon as the temp is above Freezing. That is why I like Cloth over Leather for Seats. The Heated Steering Wheel comes on at about 8, way too warm out, it shouldn't come on until about 10 below. One one of my Car that feature Quit, the cost of the Wheel was over a Grand, fortunately it was Warranty.
A real useless feature is the Rain Sense Wipers. One Current Car it can be disabled in the menus, the Earlier Car, unhooking the Sensor on the Windshield would revert the System to regular Intermittent Wipers.
I feel like a peasant in my van without heated steering wheel, paralell park assist, brake HOLD,and blind spot indicators on side views.
