FAQs — Car Emergency Kit
How do I jump-start safely with the cables?
Red clamp to the dead battery's positive, then to the good battery's positive; black to the good battery's negative, then to bare metal on the dead car's engine block — never its negative terminal. Start the good car, wait two minutes, then start the dead one.
Is the tow rope strong enough for my car?
It is rated for passenger cars up to about 2 tons, which covers hatchbacks and sedans. Tow gently at low speed to the nearest workshop — it is a get-you-home tool, not a recovery rope for stuck SUVs in mud.
Does the kit include a first-aid box?
No — this is a vehicle-emergency set. Adding a small personal first-aid pouch to the same bag is a good idea for family travel.
How often should I check the kit?
Twice a year is enough: before the summer travel season and before winter. Check torch batteries and that nothing was borrowed and not returned.
