Comfort and Convenience
Cabin temperature divides passengers more than almost anything else. One person's comfortable setting is another's chill, which is why agreeing on ventilation and airflow direction early avoids quiet negotiation over the dial for hours.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Preparation covers the controls you rarely touch: adjusting mirrors, knowing where the parking brake operates and checking how headlight settings are selected. Doing this in a stationary car keeps the first kilometres uncomplicated.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Calls on the move are a separate matter from music. Where hands-free telephony is supported, knowing in advance how a call is answered and ended saves fumbling when the phone rings unexpectedly.
