Comfort and Convenience
Cabin temperature is a preference people rarely agree on. Build, clothing and how long someone has been sitting all shape what feels pleasant, so the same setting can suit one occupant and not another.
Safety and Driver Assistance
A couple of minutes before setting off is enough to locate hazard lights, wipers and mirror adjustment. Doing this while stationary means fewer decisions later, when conditions change and attention is better kept on the road.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged over a long day out matters more than it sounds, since navigation drains a battery quickly. If a charging point is available, it is worth knowing which cable or pad it expects.
