Comfort and Convenience
Cabin temperature is one of the clearest personal preferences: what one passenger calls pleasantly warm, another finds stuffy. Clothing, the time of year and simple individual tolerance all pull the setting in different directions.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Time spent in the driveway with mirrors, the gear selector and the parking brake is rarely wasted, particularly in an unfamiliar car. Routines learned while stationary need no thinking about once moving.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Taking a call without handling the phone is the usual reason drivers look at connectivity at all. If such a function is present, it works independently of music playback and of any charging arrangement.
