Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is personal. Some drivers want to sit high for a clear view over the bonnet, others prefer a lower, more enclosed posture, and a setting that suits one person feels wrong to the next.
Safety and Driver Assistance
A few minutes spent locating the essentials, lights, wipers, hazards and the demister, is worth more than working them out in moving traffic. Familiarity of this kind is simply preparation done at a calm moment.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Battery level shapes an errand run: a phone used for navigation drains quickly, so if a charging point is available, using it on the way out avoids reaching the last stop with nothing left.
