respond to the emergency situation.
First aid kit (if equipped)

an injured person.
Triangle reflector (if equipped)
Place the triangle reflector on the
road to warn oncoming vehicles
during emergencies, such as when
the vehicle is parked by the roadside

Tyre pressure gauge (if equipped)

add a few pounds of air periodically
and it is not usually a sign of a leak-
ing tyre, but of normal wear. Always
check tyre pressure when the tyres
are cold because tyre pressure
increases with temperature.
To check the tyre pressure, take the
following steps;
1. Unscrew the inflation valve cap
that is located on the rim of the
tyre.
2. Press and hold the gauge against
the tyre valve. Some air will
escape as you begin and more will
