Comfort and Convenience
Some occupants prefer a stream of fresh outside air, while others would rather keep the cabin closed and quiet. Height, seating place and personal sensitivity to draughts all pull the decision in different directions.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Controls learned in advance can be used without hunting for them, so attention stays on the road ahead rather than the dashboard. Sorting out the basics before moving off belongs to the same unhurried preparation.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Taking a call while driving is a different requirement from choosing what to listen to. Where hands-free telephony is available it handles conversation only; music sources and a place to power a phone remain separate questions.
