Especially if youre headed out for a long trip in your Mercedes-Benz, youll want to know what you might need in your emergency roadside kit.

What Should You Pack?

  • Snacks and bottled water- No matter where you are, youll need to stay hydrated and ready for what comes your way.
  • Blankets- If you happen to get stuck at night, the air might get too cool for comfort.
  • Phone charger- As long as your cars battery works, you can charge your phone to get in contact with someone who can help you.
  • First aid kit- You never know when youll need to care for a wound. Its always good to be prepared with a full stocked first aid kit
  • Sunblock- During the day, if you happen to get stuck on the side of the road, youll want to protect yourself from the sun.
  • Jumper cables- Having your own jumper cables makes it a lot easier to get a jump, especially if the other person wasnt prepared.
  • Emergency contact information- Ensuring you have access to a towing service or roadside assistance is the first step to getting your vehicle back on the road.
  • Extra oil and coolant- On the hotter days, having these on hand will help prevent your engine from overheating.
