Despite all of the technology found in cars today, along with convenience of roadside assistance, there are certain items that you should always have in your car. Perhaps you get a flat tire, or your in-car navigation system freezes: a tire-pressure gauge and a good old fashioned map would come in handy. If a symbol illuminates in your instrument cluster that you’re unfamiliar with, (we’ve all had this happen at some point), you’ll probably want to look it up in the owner’s manual.
In no particular order, the list of must-have items is as follows:
1. Flashlight
2. Tire Pressure Gauge
3. First-Aid Kit
4. Owner’s Manual
5. Tire-changing Tools
6. Warning triangles
7. Multi-tool
8. Fuses
9. Jumper cables
10. Tape
11. Map/Atlas
12. Paper towels (if nothing more than to blow your nose!)
13. Spare key
14. Pail or bucket
15. Garbage bags
16. Gloves
17. Old Cell Phone
