Comfort and Convenience
Cabin temperature suits people differently: one passenger reads cool air as relief while another finds the same setting chilly. Clothing, build and how long someone has been sitting all shift that preference.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a moment before setting off to locate the hazard lights, demisting and wiper controls means less hunting once underway. Preparation of this kind is part of settling into a car that is still unfamiliar.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Phone batteries drain over a long drive, so somewhere to charge is useful. Where a system supports hands-free calling, conversations stay off the handset, while listening to music is a separate matter again.
