Whether you just bought a brand-new vehicle or have been driving a Hyundai for many years, you should always be prepared for unexpected events. In order to help you prepare for unforeseen breakdowns and emergencies, the team at Massey Hyundai has put together this helpful guide to supplies you should always be sure to keep in your car.
Emergency Checklist
- Spare Tire Equipment: In case of a flat tire, make sure you’ve got a quality spare along with a tire jack and tire iron.
- Jumper Cables: All it takes is accidentally leaving a light on in the car and you could be looking at a drained battery. Don’t get stranded by making sure you have a set of jumper cables in the trunk.
- Owner’s Manual: Your dashboard may start lighting up with symbols you don’t understand. That’s why it’s always a good idea to have your owner’s manual to identify anything you don’t understand.
- Insurance Card/Driver’s License/Registration: If you get pulled over or get into a collision, you’ll want to make sure that you have all of this paperwork on hand to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible.
- Sand/Kitty Litter/Traction Mats: Be prepared for getting into a sticky situation by bringing around sand, kitty litter, and/or traction mats to help get your vehicle out of mud, snow, or other low traction situations.
- Water and Snacks: Your car can break down anywhere and anytime. Be prepared for every contingency by bringing along some water and snacks in case of a long wait.
- Blankets: It’s always a good idea to keep a few blankets in the trunk, or warm winter clothing, in case your car brakes down in the cold.
