Comfort and Convenience
How much fresh air feels comfortable differs between people. Some enjoy an open window on a familiar local trip, while others prefer a still cabin with windows closed.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a moment with the horn button and hazard switch before joining a busy ring road means those controls are already known when the car is moving.
Multimedia and Connectivity
On a regular commute, some people want modest background music rather than a silent cabin. Simple playback controls, if the system has them, make it practical to start or pause a track.
