• Inspect the trunk to see if the spare is properly inflated and both the lug wrench and jack are there
• Familiarize yourself with the car. Adjust the mirrors and seats to your liking, and figure out how to turn on the lights and wipers
• Figure out how to work the entertainment and GPS (if available). You don't want any unneeded distractions in a new city
