It is simply not possible to prepare for every possible emergency you may face on the road, but by keeping a few essential items in your vehicle at all times, you can handle some of the most common minor situations with ease! Your Toyota has ample storage space for keeping a few things on hand, and your Pennsylvania Toyota dealership recommends the following items to help prepare for minor situations while traveling:
Stock a First Aid Kit for Your Car
A first aid kit isn’t going to help you much if you’re involved in a serious accident, but it will come in handy if your child falls at the park or gets stung by a bee, or you find yourself with a headache on a road trip. Keep pain relievers, alcohol wipes, bandages, antibiotic ointment and other first aid supplies in your car for relieving minor situations. For a vehicle first aid kit, you can also put a blanket, flashlight and road flares into your trunk in case you break down and are stuck waiting for help.
Put Money or a Credit Card Under Your Seat
While you will almost always travel with your wallet or money on you, if your wallet or purse is stolen or lost while traveling or you otherwise run out of money – you will want to have a backup plan. You may need to pay for road tolls, parking, or get a sandwich on the run! Just make sure you don’t keep cash or a credit card where it is visible – hide it under your seat or in the glove box.
