A prepared vehicle needs more than a full fuel tank. Keep these essentials ready for everyday driving and longer trips.
What to check before a trip
An emergency kit: Keep a flashlight, first-aid supplies and suitable roadside equipment accessible. Check the Government of Canada’s car emergency-kit guidance for a fuller list.
Your owner’s manual: Use it to understand warning lights, fluid specifications and maintenance requirements. Keep a paper copy or know where to find the correct digital manual.
Vehicle documents: Make sure your insurance and registration information is current and available when needed.
A maintenance record: Know when your next oil change or other scheduled service is due. Bring the record to appointments so completed work and upcoming maintenance are easier to review.
Seasonal supplies: Choose supplies for the weather and route, such as winter washer fluid and an ice scraper during Calgary’s colder months.
