How to tell if a car has ABS and side impact airbags?

[LoveRFD]

I'm interested in a used car. Seller says it has ABS and side impact airbags. Is there anyway I can confirm it when test drive? Thanks.

Go to autos.msn.com and search the car under used cars. Then go to specifications and then click the "interior" sub-tab. It should say if it has it or not, or which trims of the vehicle had it.

Either the seats or the pillar above the window will say "SRS" or "airbag", something along those lines.

ABS just hammer on the brakes, lol.

These are options buyers can choose so I doubt I can find it out that way.

That depends on the model you're looking at. For some models, these features are standard - hence the (good) advice you've received. If the one you're looking at offers these as options, get the VIN and get a manufacturer's dealer to do a search.

Get the VIN and call the dealership, they can tell you all of the information based on the VIN.

look for something like this under the hood. it should be in plain sight.

When you start the car, check if you have an ABS light on the instrument panel.

What type of car is it?

you can easily remove the bulb. i would try if the car has ABS by hard braking.

orrrrrrr ya know, you could have asked us first by atleast mentioning the car's basic information.

easy kick the bumper(or side door) as hard as you can and see if fluffy pillows magically appear.

Sorry guys, I should have said it's an 05 Nisan Altima 2.5 S at the begining.

it does have ABS.
probably doesn't have side airbags, if it does, it'll say on the pillars / side of seat.
