At Cadillac Of Turnersville, we want to make sure you are prepared for whatever the winter weather throws at you.

Some of the items you should include in your winter survival kit for cars include:

• Battery cables
• Ice scraper
• Portable shovel
• Basic first-aid kit
• Cell phone charger
• Camera
• Flat tire kit
• Useful items when stranded: flashlight, warning signaling cones, backup batteries, safety vest, and roadside triangles
• Winter items: gloves, blanket, rain poncho, rags, boots, socks, a hat. Pack anything to keep you warm if you get stranded during a snowstorm. 

Important Items for Winter Road Trips

If you plan on going on any road trips during the winter, we recommend adding these additional items to your winter car safety kit.

• Tow strap: This will help you if you get stuck anywhere around Turnersville, and you need another vehicle to rescue you. You should always consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual to prevent any damage to your vehicle when using the tow strap. There is a designated area to place a tow strap on your Cadillac vehicle. 
• Fire extinguisher: Just in case you have a small fire, it’s best to bring along a fire extinguisher that is designed for use with vehicles. 
• Enough food and water: Just in case you get stuck, it’s best to be safe and bring some non-perishable food and water with you. This could include protein bars and granola bars that can last for six months before needing to be replaced.

If you get in trouble on the Turnersville roads during the winter, you should always remain inside or close to your vehicle if it’s safe. Never venture out on your own. Remaining with your vehicle will make it much easier for emergency personnel to locate you. This is why the winter emergency car kit is important in these situations.
