A Winter Car Kit for Michigan Back Roads
Rural Michigan roads can be quiet, icy and a long way from the nearest service station. A small kit in the trunk makes a breakdown much less stressful.
Start with a roadside kit
A ready-made kit gives you jumper cables, a tow rope, basic tools, a warning triangle and a reflective vest in one bag.
Check tire pressure often
Tire pressure drops about 1 PSI for every 10°F the temperature falls. A cordless inflator lets you top up in your driveway.
Stay warm and visible
- Blanket, hat and gloves.
- Ice scraper and small shovel.
- Flashlight with spare batteries.
- Water, snacks and a phone charger.
If you get stuck
Stay with your car, keep the exhaust pipe clear of snow if you run the engine, and call for help.
