A rear window wiper is a mechanically driven device that can clear moisture from the rear window glass with its rubber or synthetic blade, usually in a large, half-circle swath from the bottom edge.

Satellite-radio ready is when the receiver in the dash can receive satellite radio signals via the onboard antenna but may need a tuner or service subscription to decode and play them. Activating one or both will enable you to listen to satellite radio in your car.

A rear entertainment system delivers media to second-row and third-row passengers. A rear entertainment system may include media players, ceiling- or headrest-mounted displays, gaming hardware, and headphones.

Rear heated seats are an option usually reserved for higher trim levels on vehicle models. The controls for the rear heated seats are accessible to the backseat passengers, activating electric heating coils embedded in the seat backs and seating cushions.

If you opened and shut a second-row door before driving somewhere, a rear seat reminder will prompt you to check for children, pets, or ice cream before getting out at your destination.

Rain-sensing wipers are automatic windshield wipers that use infrared sensors to detect moisture on the windshield. When the sensors detect a pre-determined amount of moisture, they activate the wipers, clearing the glass to improve driver visibility.
