Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal preference. Some people like sitting high with a clear view over the bonnet, others prefer a lower, more enclosed feel, and differences in height and build mean no single setting suits everyone.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Before setting off, it is worth locating the basics: lights, wipers, mirrors and the hazard switch. Doing this while parked means that later, when conditions change, the movement is already known rather than something to search for.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged matters on longer drives, particularly when navigation is running for most of the journey. Where a charging option is provided, a settled place to rest the phone also stops it sliding about.
