Comfort and Convenience
Some people prefer a cooler cabin on a summer run, while others feel a chill quickly, so the same setting can feel pleasant to one occupant and harsh to another.
Safety and Driver Assistance
A brief check of how the indicators cancel, and where the fog-lamp switch sits, is easier on the driveway than during a first dark approach to a junction.
Multimedia and Connectivity
If audio from a phone can be played through the car, a cabin control, where provided, lets the driver pause it without handling the device at the lights.
