Comfort and Convenience
Cabin temperature is a personal matter: some people settle quickly at a cooler setting, others feel a draught at the same level. Clothing, time of day and how long the car has stood outside all play a part.
Safety and Driver Assistance
A few seconds spent while parked, setting mirrors and confirming how the parking brake and gear selector operate, means the first junction is met without improvising. Preparation of this kind costs nothing and needs no special knowledge.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Calls taken on the move are best handled without holding a phone, which in most places is also the legal expectation. Where a hands-free function is offered, setting the phone up before departure keeps the process brief.
