Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal preference. Height, arm reach and preferred posture differ from one person to the next, so a setting that feels natural to one driver feels awkward to another, and shared cars are often reset.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a moment with the basic controls before setting off is simply preparation. Knowing where the hazard lights, demisting and wiper settings sit means a sudden change in weather or traffic does not begin with searching.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged during a journey is a practical need of its own, separate from calls or music. Where a charging point is available, a long drive can end with enough battery left for navigation on foot.
