Must Have Winter Car Accessories

Let’s imagine a situation- you live in a hill station and on a chilly winter night, it has snowed in the night. You wake up and see a clear blue sky and clear roads. When you are ready to leave for work, the car is all covered with snow and you open the car trunk to take out the scraper but suddenly you realise it is not there in the car. Winter car preparation is necessary and crucial to stay safe in cold winter emergencies on the road. Being prepared makes things easier if the car breaks down or gets stuck in snow situations. Here is the list of items/accessories that one should have in their car:

Gloves and Winter clothing

Wearing gloves and other warm clothes make any task easier if you are in a chilly winter morning/day time. Even if you need to pick up something the gloves keeps your hands warm and gives you the right grip to pick up the thing you want. In the same way always keep a bundle of warm inners, gloves and clothes as they would help you from frostbite. You will always do a better job of cleaning your car if you are warm.

Blanket

In case you have extra blankets kept at home, put on in your car. If you get stranded in case of a car breakdown and the car doesn’t turn on again, the blanket would help you quite a lot as the car heater won’t switch on in case of a breakdown.

Emergency reflectors

These are really crucial and should always be there in the car. In case the weather gets dark and foggy/hazy, these play a vital role as you can see a vehicle stopped on the side of the road as these would glow and reflect.

Rock Salt/Sand

These coarse materials will help your tires gain traction if your vehicle is stuck in the snow. Spread the material near your tires and in your car’s path to get out of a slippery situation.

First Aid Kit

A first aid kit is crucial if someone is injured in a car crash. Although it’s essential year-round, this is one of the most important things to keep in your car during winter because emergency vehicle response time may be slow.

Windshield Washing Fluid

Make sure the washing fluid in the car has antifreeze properties to prevent the windshield from freezing. Clearing the windshield with the fluid will help you while driving on a chilly winter night.

Flashlight

The use of flashlight is quite important. In case you get stranded on the road and the car is not in a position to move, you can switch on the flashlight and give direction to other vehicles.

Rope or Chain

A towing material should always be included while preparing your car for winters. And if you are still confused, come and check out the accessories at Noida Sector 63 at Capital Hyundai and get a wider glance here.
