Comfort and Convenience
Preferred cabin temperature varies widely. Some people feel comfortable only with cool air moving around them, while others dislike any draught, so the same setting rarely suits everyone travelling together.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Learning where the wipers, lights and hazard switch sit takes only a few minutes when parked. Searching for them later means looking away from the road, which is better sorted before setting off.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Charging and audio are separate needs: a phone can be playing music through the car while its battery still drains. Where a charging point is available, using it keeps navigation running on longer journeys.
