Here’s a
suggestion for a gift for your loved ones this holiday: A Winter Emergency Kit!
It could be one of the most useful gifts they get this year. Winter weather
could turn nasty and it is not the best weather for cars or for driving. If
your friend or family is planning on a long journey, then make sure your safety
kit is as ready as your spare tire and jack.
It is not
difficult to assemble your own emergency kit. You need not buy it. Unless you
own a Subaru and feel it is imperative you pick up a Subaru Severe Weather
Companion. It does pay to have Subaru accessories
when you own a Subaru. After all these fit like no other brand will fit, and
their performance, in tandem with the rest of the car, is guaranteed.
A simple car
kit should consist of an air compressor that can be powered by a cigarette
lighter, jumper cables, a radio, flashlights, cell phone, a spare lug wrench, a
shovel and a first aid kit. If you live in a really cold place, your winter kit
should also include blankets to keep you warm.
This kit is
to be used when, if, you are stranded somewhere out of the normal routes. A
couple of breakfast or energy bars would stand you in good stead in such a
situation. You could also add items like gloves, a car cell phone charger, and
any other items that are necessary for your survival. If you are taking any
medication on a regular basis, then make sure you keep one dose of each
medicine in this kit too.
A visit to your
servicing center before a long journey will help ensure that your vehicle is
ready for winters. Ask the mechanic to thoroughly inspect and replace, if
necessary, VW floor mats or the Subaru floor mats.
All rubber parts, for that matter, should undergo this procedure. Make sure the
oil, the coolant and other liquids are all topped up and diluted to the right
proportion. This will reduce the chances of any breakdown at the wrong time of
the day or at the wrong place. Your mechanic should inspect your car and all
its different components, and should repair any damages found in order to make
your car winter ready.
It is a good
idea to be prepared with car safety kit and to visit your servicing center
before beginning your holiday or a journey.
