If your car breaks down or becomes otherwise inoperable at night or when visibility is poor, you should have a flashlight. Keep a battery-powered flashlight with you and extra batteries (checked monthly) or a crank-powered flashlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardenasbmw.com\/blog\/how-do-i-connect-my-phone-to-my-2020-bmw-x5\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How Do I Connect my Phone to my 2020 BMW X5?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4>Road Flares<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Emergency Vehicles are most likely to find you if you have a road flare. If you can\u2019t get road flares, collapsible high-visibility street markers may be of use. In much the same vein, you should keep a few high-visibility vests with you in case you do need to get out of your car at nighttime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardenasbmw.com\/blog\/does-the-2020-bmw-x5-do-well-off-road\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Does the 2020 BMW X5 Do Well Off-Road?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4>Protein-Rich Snack Food<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Want an excuse to store some delicious snacks in your car? In an emergency, you will be glad you did. Just make sure you store non-perishable foods like dried fruits, nuts, jerky, and other nutrient-dense snacks. Rotate these out of your vehicle every month or two so they stay fresh. These may be lifesavers if you get stranded somewhere and need energy to get to safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever put together an emergency kit for your vehicle?
