The warm weather has more people hitting the road, whether in a car, on a bike, or just walking. This means you have to be more alert than ever to keep you, your passengers, and other drivers\/ pedestrians safe. So below, we took the time to lay important information about what should be in your vehicle for safe travel, summer maintenance trips, and best practices once you hit the road. Once you\u2019ve reviewed the information, be sure to schedule a service appointment, as service helps ensure your safety behind the wheel! Then hit the road safely this summer!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Update What\u2019s Inside Your Vehicle:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First aid kit<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flashlight<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flares and a white flag<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jumper cables<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tire pressure gauge<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jack (and ground mat) for changing a tire<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Work gloves and a change of clothes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basic repair tools and some duct tape (for temporarily repairing a hose leak)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Water and paper towels for cleaning up<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nonperishable food, drinking water, and medicines<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Extra windshield washer fluid<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maps<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emergency blankets, towels, and coats<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cell phone and charger<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Before You Hit The Road:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check for recalls on your vehicle\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Service your vehicle to avoid a breakdown down the road<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Review your owner\u2019s manual to really know your vehicle\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plan your travel route, this includes research for rest areas, food, or even hotels<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Vehicle Maintenance Checklist:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Battery<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lights<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cooling system\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fluid levels\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Belt and hoses<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wiper blades<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A\/C unit<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Floor mats\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tire pressure and tread levels<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Once On The Road:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay Alert: keep your gas tank close to full,\u00a0 plan enough time to stop to stretch, get something to eat, return calls or text messages, and change drivers or rest if you feel drowsy.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid risky behavior: <\/span><b>Do not text <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or drive distracted, obey speed limits, ALWAYS drive sober<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"body-content\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">*Information provided by <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/summer-driving-tips\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/summer-driving-tips<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row blog_row\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"row blog_row\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"row blog_row\">\n<div id=\"featured_video\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"cta\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youngernissan.com\/service-appointment.html\"><button class=\"cta_button\">Stay Safe Behind The Wheel With Service!<\/button><\/a><\/div>\n<div id=\"social-media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fredericknissan\/\"><img id=\"find-us-live\" src=\"https:\/\/clients.oomdo.com\/blog_dev\/images\/find-us.png\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summertime is all about hitting the road for another adventure, but here at Younger Nissan of Frederick, we want to take the time to refresh you on some important information.
