Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal preference: some drivers sit upright and close, others further back with straighter arms. Body proportions, habits and the way someone likes to see the road ahead all pull the choice in different directions.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a few minutes with wipers, lights, mirrors and hazard switches while parked means less searching later. Preparation of that kind is simply about knowing where things are before a journey asks for them.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged on longer trips is a common need. Where a suitable power source is available, charging is separate from calls or music: a phone can draw power without any audio link being active.
