Comfort and Convenience
Preferred seating position is a good example: some people like sitting high and upright, others further back and lower. Height, build and long-standing driving habits all shape which arrangement feels natural.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Wipers, lights, mirrors and demisting are worth locating while parked rather than mid-journey. Knowing where they sit keeps the search short when weather or light changes without warning.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Battery level matters over a long drive, since navigation draws on a phone steadily. If a charging point is available, a cable of the right type and length is worth packing beforehand.
