Comfort and Convenience
Break frequency is a personal matter. Some travellers want to stretch and walk every hour or so, while others would rather cover a long stretch uninterrupted, so it helps to settle expectations before setting off.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Preparation means knowing the small routines too: how the mirrors are set, where the parking brake and fuel flap release sit. Reading the handbook once at home makes the first hour far less fiddly.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Calls on the move are worth thinking about separately from entertainment. If hands-free telephony is set up in advance, a ringing phone becomes a simple matter rather than something to hunt for mid-journey.
