Heated seats in automobiles are a convenience feature using electric coils to warm seat cushions at the push of a button, usually located with the other climate controls or on the seats themselves.

A head-up display (HUD) is a system that projects important information onto the back of the windshield just below the driver’s line of sight. Considered a safety and convenience feature, the head-up display allows drivers to check their speed, the posted limit in their location, and some vehicle functions without taking their eyes off the road ahead.

Forward collision warning is a driver safety system that uses radar, lasers, or cameras to detect other vehicles ahead of the driver’s car and uses that data to trigger warnings to the driver. Such safety systems can also detect other obstacles, like people, cyclists, and animals, in the path of the moving vehicle.

Dual-zone climate control, sometimes called dual-zone automatic climate control, divides the vehicle’s cabin into left and right zones, allowing the driver and front passenger to each select their preferred temperature settings.
