Winter Car Safety Kit

When winter arrives, you’ll be on the road when it’s slick and icy. Here at Jaguar Annapolis, we want to ensure you’ve got the emergency tool kit for your car that gets you through whatever the winter throws at you in Crofton. Most supplies for your winter car safety kit can be picked up at our Annapolis parts department, or at home goods and department stores near Edgewater.

This is what you should have in your emergency tool kit for your car:

• Battery cables
• Ice scraper
• Portable shovel
• Basic first-aid kit
• Cell phone charger
• Camera
• Flat tire kit
• Items to help when stranded: flashlight, warning signaling cones, backup batteries, safety vest, and roadside triangles
• Common winter items: gloves, blanket, rain poncho, rags, boots, a hat. Pack anything to keep you warm if you get stranded during a snowstorm.

Of course, the best way to prepare for an emergency is to be proactive. Minimize the risks of winter driving by picking up a set of winter tires and scheduling a tune-up with our service experts. There’s a chance that you’re due for brake pad replacement, and you’ll want to take care of that before winter arrives, as well.

If you can’t get the steering wheel to move on a cold winter morning, don’t panic. You may be dealing with a locked steering wheel, and learning how to unlock it only takes a moment.

Essential Items for Winter Road Trips

If you’re going far from Severna Park this winter, you need to be prepared. This is what you should have on any winter road trip:

• A tow strap to free you from a ditch if you get stranded in one. Refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the right way to use a tow strap for your car.
• A fire extinguisher will come in handy if you encounter a small fire. Make sure the one you get is built for automotive use.
• Long-lasting food and water could prove very advantageous if you’re stuck somewhere without easy access to necessities. Granola, protein bars, and water can last in your vehicle for up to six months before you have to get new supplies.
