Comfort and Convenience
Preferred cabin temperature differs widely between people; body size, clothing and seating position all change how warm the same air feels, which is why travelling companions rarely settle on one setting without discussion.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a few minutes with the basic controls before setting off — lights, wipers, mirrors, demisting — is worth the effort. Locating them while parked is simpler than hunting for them with passengers aboard and traffic moving.
Multimedia and Connectivity
On longer trips, keeping a phone charged is the request that comes up most, since navigation and messaging drain batteries quickly. Where a suitable power outlet is available, passengers can share it rather than rationing what's left.
