Comfort and Convenience
Everyday comfort often depends on how easily a driver can reach common controls, and preferred seat height or backrest angle varies from person to person because body proportions differ.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Becoming familiar with basic controls before travel reduces the need to search for switches while moving, such as confirming wiper, defroster and light positions at the kerb.
Multimedia and Connectivity
A practical phone need is keeping the battery charged during longer errands, and if a charging port is present, using it early avoids low-battery interruptions to calls or music.
