Comfort and Convenience
Preferred cabin temperature is a common point of disagreement, because people differ in clothing, activity and where they sit relative to the vents. Agreeing on a setting early tends to reduce repeated adjustments during a journey.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a few minutes with lights, wipers, mirrors and hazard switches before setting off means fewer unfamiliar movements later. Preparation is easiest while parked, when there is no traffic competing for attention.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Passengers often arrive with low phone batteries, and a power source is usually the first thing they look for. Where charging is available, a cable long enough to reach the rear keeps devices usable in place.
