Before setting off on a summer road trip, take a moment to outfit your vehicle with accessories that can help enhance safety, improve organization and prepare you to handle the unexpected along the way.

Read on for our top picks for easy-to-find vehicle safety and convenience essentials, all available at shopwithcaa.com.

Tire Gauge

Did you know having an underinflated tire increases fuel consumption by as much as four percent due to added rolling resistance? Transport Canada also notes a lack of air can cause excess sidewall flex — that’s how much a tire's sidewall bends or deforms — and heat buildup, leading to significantly reduced lifespan and risking potential sudden failure.

Pick up the High Road® Digital Tire Gauge to stay on top of pressure readings. It features an illuminated LED display for clear day or night operation and is ergonomically designed for a good grip.

Auto Escape Tool

Be ready for the unexpected with the Travelon 4-in-1 Emergency Car Tool. A practical addition to any vehicle emergency kit, this lightweight, multi-purpose tool helps keep drivers prepared for situations like a vehicle rollover to an emergency escape scenario, plus provides peace of mind.

Its standout features include:

• Shielded blade designed to cut through a jammed seatbelt
• Window-breaking spike for emergency escape situations
• Built-in flashlight for visibility in low-light conditions
• Red beacon to help alert others to your location
• Integrated magnet for secure attachment to metal surfaces

Deer Horn

Protect yourself and wildlife using a deer horn that emits a high-frequency whistle to alert deer to your approaching car.

Unlike traditional offerings relying on airflow created while moving, The Trailblazer Electronic Deer Alert is powered by an onboard 12-volt system. This boosts the range of the emitted ultrasonic sound to approximately 335 metres; it can be turned on or off with the included switch that mounts to the dashboard.

Car Organizer

A clutter-free car isn’t just more enjoyable to drive in — it also reduces distraction by making it easy to find what you need when you need it. A car organizer also helps keep loose items neatly stored and your vehicle looking tidier and safer.

Looping around the front or back of the passenger seat with adjustable headrest straps, the High Road® SwingAway™ Car Seat Organizer boasts eight protective pockets to hold mobile devices, water bottles, safety accessories, tissues, sunglasses and more.

No matter where you’re headed in the coming months, bring along some peace of mind by grabbing these car accessories.
