The 2026 Roadside Checklist

1. Visibility First: Before checking the engine, set up your reflective triangles at least 50 meters behind your vehicle.

2. Power Check: Ensure your jumper cables are in good condition. VCAN cables feature copper-clad aluminum for high conductivity and flexible PVC insulation for cold-weather performance.

3. Self-Rescue Tools: Always keep your safety hammer within reach of the driver’s seat—not in the trunk.

4. Update Your Kit: Check your first aid supplies and any battery-powered lights every six months.
