Comfort and Convenience
Preferred cabin temperature is a good example: some travellers settle at a cooler setting, while others feel chilled by the same air. Body size, clothing and seating location all shift where that preference lands.
Safety and Driver Assistance
It is worth locating the wipers, lights and demisting functions while stationary and unhurried. Learning where everything sits at the kerb means less searching later, when attention is better spent on the road ahead.
Multimedia and Connectivity
A phone that arrives flat is little use for navigation. Where a charging point is available, checking that the cable genuinely replenishes the battery during use, rather than merely holding it steady, is worth doing early.
