Related to GUMPS:
In driver's education, I learned DSMBV [doors (locked), seats (adjusted), mirrors (adjusted), belt (seatbelt, attached), ventilation (adjusted as needed)].
It's not needed in my own car, but it is still useful to me for rentals and borrowing other people's cars (or in driver's ed, where the driver changes between students), since it can be overwhelming figuring out where everything is and everything is out of adjustment for myself.
I quickly made my own version by adding one more letter to the list, by experience: DSMBVL... L for Lights!
Apparently, the acronym that more people actually use is DSSSM (aka cockpit drill), which includes steering but not ventilation or lights.
