Comfort and Convenience
The cigarette lighter and ashtray matter once underway rather than at entry: the lighter element heats on demand and the covered ashtray contains ash and odour inside the cabin instead of letting it escape into the ventilation path.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Side front airbags deploy in a sufficiently severe lateral impact on the struck side, inflating between the occupant's torso and the door structure to spread crash loads over the chest and pelvis rather than a narrow area.
Multimedia and Connectivity
A 12V power outlet carries only electrical supply, not signal: it can run or charge a device, but any audio or phone content still needs a separate path such as AUX, USB or Bluetooth to reach the system.
