Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal matter: height, arm length and long-held habits mean two drivers rarely settle on the same distance from the wheel. That is why the first minutes are usually spent settling in rather than driving.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Before a long trip it is worth locating the basics while parked: lights, hazard switch, demister, horn. Preparation of this kind means one less unfamiliar thing to look for once you are moving.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged on the move is a routine need, particularly when navigation runs for hours. If a suitable power outlet is available, it is worth knowing where the cable can sit without sliding around.
