Summer Car Travel TipS
• Consider having your car checked by an automotive technician before a long trip. An ounce of prevention can be worth a pound of cure.
• Hot weather can shorten the life of a car’s battery – if there’s concern, have it tested by a qualified automotive technician. AAA can provide a mobile battery test.
• Carry an emergency kit with a flashlight, extra batteries, warning devices such as flares or reflective triangles, jumper cables, a first-aid kit and extra water.
• Don’t let the gas level get below one-quarter of a tank.
• Select your route on a map ahead of time and study it to know exactly where you’re going.
• Reserve all accommodations in advance.
• Lock your car when you leave it and keep valuables out of sight.
• Secure children and adults in safety seats, booster seats or seat belts as required by law.
