Comfort and Convenience
Cabin temperature is one of the clearest examples of divided opinion: the same air that feels pleasant to the driver can feel cool to a rear passenger. Clothing, habit and seating position all play a part.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Before setting off, it is worth checking mirrors, seat position and how the transmission selector moves between modes. Preparation done while stationary leaves attention free for the road rather than for unfamiliar controls in traffic.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Taking a call on the move is a hands-free matter rather than a listening one. If the car supports phone pairing, setting it up beforehand means an incoming call needs no searching through menus.
