The American is only a little different:

a – rear windshield
b – windshield wiper
c – trunk
d – bumper
e – license plate
f – exhaust pipe
g – rear lights
h – door handle
i – tire
j - .... i forget. I think it's "turn signal" though

I'll try

a– steering wheel ~ volan
b – seat ~ sedište
c – clutch ~ kvačilo
d – brake ~ kočnica
e – accelerator ~ gas
f – gear-stick ~ menjač
g – dashboard ~ kontrolna tabla (nisam baš sigurna da je to tačan naziv)

ok. .let's see....


a – rear windscreen – rear windshield = zadnje staklo
[front windshield - prednje staklo (šoferšajbna)]
b – windshield wiper - windscreen wiper = brisač
c – trunk - boot = prtljažnik
d – bumper - bumper = branik
e – license plate - number plate = registracione tablice (registracija)
f – exhaust pipe - exhaust pipe = auspuh
g – rear lights - rear lights = zadnji farovi
h – door handle = kvaka
i – tire - tyre = guma
j - indicator ("turn signal") = pokazivač pravca (žmigavac)
k - rear view mirror - wing mirror = bočni retrovizor
l - headrest - headrest = naslon za glavu

Yes, that's it. Here is a few more things:

right-hand drive
4-wheel drive (ovo je bilo), two-seater, semi-cabover, cabriolet, van, estate car, off-road car, mini car, mid-sized family car, top-of-the-rang car
(vehicle with the) styling and smooth drive, manoeuvrable, environmentally friendly car.......

crash test
suspension system
power-steering device (in the engine)
peaceful motoring

fog lights
back support
a side airbag
a totally flat floor
padded seats
folding front/rear seats: fold down to for increased storage space,
fold back to form a bed
......

I can't translate any of those but I have one to add:

glove compartment

I'm not sure either how exactly should I translate it, I let someone to that instead of me.

oh dear... I can't remember what's the word for it! Though.. according to Benson

glove compartment prostor za sitne stvari (u automobilu)

I am absolutely sure though that no driver would say to his assistant driver (?) suvozač - dodaj mi rukavice iz prostora za sitne stvari

Ma nemam ni vozačku dozvolu.
Ali mislim da je dobro da barem znam ove stručne izraze

Thanks Spring, I just want to add:
suspension system - is in my book "amortizacija" tj. amortizeri

suspension - the system by which a vehicle is supported on its wheels and which makes it more comfortable to ride in when the road surface is not even:
the front / rear suspension

"...Bolje nazive za amortizere imaju Englezi (čita se šok apsorber) ili Nijemci (čita se štos demfer). I jedan i drugi naziv, jasno govore, da se radi o apsorbciji šoka, koji se prenosi, rastezanjem ili stiskanjem opruge, uslijed neravnina puta.
Funkcija amortizera jest, sprječavanje opruge, da uslijed neravnina puta nekontrolirano vibrira, uslijed čega bi kotači vozila prilikom vožnje po takvom terenu bili više u zraku nego na cesti, te tako negativno utjecali na stabilnost vozila i zaustavnog puta."

steering - the mechanism of a vehicle that you use to control the direction it goes in. see also POWER STEERING

power steering (BrE also power-assisted steering)
(in a vehicle) a system that uses power from the engine to help the driver change direction

In the text:
"Power-steering is useful for fitting into tight corners in the city."

"Features the car offers include generously padded seats with good back support..."

You 're right Ina
"francuski ključ" doesn't exist in french language. It's "clé anglaise"...
Don't know why you say "francuski ključ" and I don't know too why French say "clé anglaise" ... maybe because this tool has been devised by an English...

Oui, je le sais

francuski ključ : (French) clé anglaise, clé à molette - (Eng) adjustable spanner GB or wrench US.

In Serbia you can buy Fica for only 200-300 eur. It is very cheap, but when you buy it you can sell it for 1000 eur by changing it for a new car (new Yugo - Fiat Punto) Zastava 10
