automotive emergency kit
Road trips can make for great
weekend getaways or even
more lengthy vacations for
those who can't get enough of the
open road. But before embarking
on any road trips, motorists should
replenish their automotive emergency
kits with the following items so they
are fully prepared in the event of an
accident or an injury.
First-aid kit
A first-aid kit can treat cuts and
abrasions suffered whileyou are out of
the car and even some minor injuries
that may result if you are in a car
accident. Include essential items like
adhesive tape, antibiotic ointment,
antiseptic wipes, aspirin, bandages,
a cold compress, gauze, and scissors.
Visit www.redcross.org for a more
extensive list of itemsto include in your
first-aid kit, which should be kept in
your car at all times.
Tools
It's importantto include tools in your
automotive emergency kit. While a full
toolbox might be unnecessary, bring
along an adjustable wrench, a flat
head and Phillips screwdriver, a pair of
pliers, a tire jack and crow bar, an ice
scraper, and a flashlight. Extra roadside
flares and reflectors also should be
packed should you need to pull over
and address an automotive problem,
such as a flat tire. Keep a tire pressure
gauge in your glove compartment or
with your other tools so you can check
tire pressure if you feel your car is not
operating as smoothly as it normally
does.
Fluids
While it's best to check all of your
vehicle's fluids before beginning a
road trip, it does not hurt to bring
along some extra fluids just in case
you start to run low while out on the
road. Fluids to pack include motor oil,
antifreeze, brakefluid, andwindshield
washer fluid. Include a funnel with
these items so you can easily pour
them in should you be running low.
Pack an empty spray bottle as well so
you have something to spray washer
fluid from ifa problem arises with your
wiper blades.
Wiper blades
Include an extra set of wiper blades
in your automotive emergency kit.
Maintaining wiper blades is an oft -
overlooked component of vehicle
maintenance, so bring along an extra
set of blades should your existing
bladessuccumbtowear and tear while
you're on the road.
Miscellaneous items
Some items that may not seem
synonymous with road trips can come
in handy should you find yourself in
an emergency. Pack a blanket so you
and your passengers can stay warm
should your car break down at night.
In addition, pack some energy bars
and bottled water so no one gets too
hungry or thirsty while waiting for
help to arrive. It's also good to keep a
pair of work gloves in your car so you
can still use your tools or change a tire
when the temperatures dip or your
hands get sweaty on hot days.
