Comfort and Convenience
Low evening sun across the glass makes shade a comfort issue for some occupants and extra daylight welcome for others. That split comes from different glare tolerance and from which seat a person occupies.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Preparation for a night-time family visit starts with learning the basic stalks and switches in a still, well-lit car park. That way, lights, wipers, and indicators are already familiar before the journey begins.
Multimedia and Connectivity
During a weekend family visit, passengers often want their own music rather than silence. Music playback, if the system can provide it, is separate from placing a call or charging a handset.
