Comfort and Convenience
Cabin temperature is a preference people rarely agree on. Someone stepping in from a cold car park wants warmth quickly, while a passenger who has been walking with bags would rather have air moving instead.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Time spent before setting off, locating the hazard switch, the parking brake and the mirror adjuster, pays back on errand days, because the first junction is a poor place to start reading unfamiliar symbols.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Errands often involve a call about a collection time. Where hands-free calling is set up, it keeps the phone out of the driver's hands; audio playback and any charging arrangement remain separate matters to sort out.
