Comfort and Convenience
Cabin temperature is a personal matter: one occupant feels comfortable with cool air moving, another prefers it still and warmer. Clothing, the time of day and individual sensitivity account for the gap, so settings often need negotiating.
Safety and Driver Assistance
A car that is new to a driver rewards a few unhurried minutes at the kerb: adjusting mirrors, settling the seat and locating the light and wiper stalks. Preparation done while stationary need not be repeated in motion.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Calls in traffic are mainly a question of keeping hands free and eyes forward; where a hands-free function exists, it serves that purpose. Music and charging remain separate matters, each with its own settings and habits.
