Before you pack the car with presents and get rolling on your holiday road trip, consider this 7-point safety checklist and you will have a better chance of arriving at your destination safely and on schedule.

  1. Keep an empty gas can on board in case you run out of fuel and need help fast.
  2. Pack a few flashlights in case you break down in the night, and bring new batteries too.
  3. Keep a roll of duct tape handy to make some minor repairs.
  4. A gallon of engine coolant in the trunk will make certain you get rolling after car overheats.
  5. Bring a couple cans of tire inflator in case of flat tires.
  6. Pack a bag with a variety of tools.
  7. Be sure the spare tire is full of air and you have a jack.

One last thing to consider, come over to Barnes Crossing Kia in Tupelo, MS and let one of our Kia service technicians do a check-up on your vehicle as well.
