#1: Make your own emergency supplies

You should make your own emergency supply kit. Don't rely on pre-made kits. It's best to make your own, so you know exactly what's in it. Yours should include batteries and a flashlight. You should make sure you always have a blanket. Make sure to bring extra food and water. If you get stranded in your vehicle during a snowstorm, there is a very good chance you're going to be in your vehicle for an extended period of time. Make sure you have enough survival supplies to last that period of time and more. Also, any member of your family is on medication, make sure to have extras of that in the vehicle as well.

#2: Check that battery before you head out

Check your battery now with a trained professional. You don't want to get out onto a highway drive and get caught in a snowstorm with a dead battery. That could put you in significant danger. Bring your vehicle into our service department, and we can check your battery. We can even switch out your battery if that is what is needed.

#3: Check the tread on your tires

Please make sure you get your tires checked for the tread. Having bald tires on icy roads is very dangerous. You want lots of tread on your tires so they can hug the road.

#4: Do a fluid check

Check all of your fluid levels to make sure they are topped off. You need to have a good amount of transmission fluid and antifreeze as well. Don't forget wiper fluid. We hope these steps help you, and we hope you have a great winter. Come to USA 1 to get your car prepped for winter.
