Greenville area Honda: Are you prepared for a roadside emergency?

In this day of technology, drivers often depend on cell phones

, auto service memberships and onboard emergency systems to report roadside incidents. There are certainly more tools at our disposal today to get help in the event of an emergency, however they should not replace the trusty roadside emergency kit that has been recommended for years. Greenville area Honda dealers reminds drivers that each vehicle should be equipped with the following basic components in an emergency roadside kit.

Basic first aid kit

Two quarts of oil

Extra fuses

Multi-purpose tool

Flashlight and extra batteries

Blanket (wool)

Tire inflator

Pen and paper

Water and nonperishable food

Candles

Matches, lighter

Flares

South Carolina Honda knows that not every vehicle has room for all of the items that are recommended in an emergency roadside kit. If after packing the basics in a sturdy nylon bag, you still have room for addition items, consider placing the following in a milk crate or other rugged plastic container:

Travel shovel

Washer fluid

Ice scraper

Duct tape

Paper towels

Rags

Adjustable wrench

Jumper cables

Honda of Greenville also suggests that each driver become familiar with basic repairs, such as changing a tire to ensure should the time come that you need to do it yourself, you are prepared. Basic knowledge of each tool and how to use them as well as a periodic check of items in the emergency kit is also needed. Make sure water is fresh, food is dry, batteries are charged and other supplies are current. In doing this you can rest assured that you have the necessary items to survive and remain in relative comfort until help arrives.
