Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal matter: height, arm length and driving habit all push people towards different settings. Two drivers sharing one car rarely agree on the same position, which is why comfort preferences are worth treating individually.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Learning where lights, wipers and demisting are before setting off means those actions are already known when weather or dusk changes mid-journey. Preparation of this kind costs a minute while parked and nothing afterwards.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Short urban trips rarely restore much battery, so a phone used for navigation can finish a journey lower than it started. If charging is available on board, plugging in early in the trip is more useful than late.
