to give your car a jump, but he might be without the cables to do it. Having your own cables can ensure that should you be the bene ficiary of any Good Samaritans, you’ll at least be capable of accepting their help. • Fire extinguisher. Many times vehicles are not as easily adaptable to warmer temperatures as human beings. This can lead to your car overheating, especially if it’s exceptionally hot outside or if you’ve been driving your car for an extended period of time. Should your car overheat, it’s not uncommon for engines to burst into flames. A small fire extinguisher stored in a safe place in your trunk won’t take up much space and should keep you and your car protected from any spontaneous fires. • Books or magazines. Even if you have the best emergency roadside assis tance provider, it typically takes at least an hour for them to arrive. More often than not, it takes sub stantially longer than that. A book or a magazine will help pass the time, and before you know it, help will have arrived.
Maintain A Healthy Environment Inside Your Vehicle
Over the last several years, homeowners have in creasingly emphasized clean air in their homes. The growing popularity of home air purifiers suggests today’s homeowners want to make certain the environment inside their home is as healthy as possible. While protecting the environment in a home is important, it’s equally as important for motorists to maintain a healthy environ ment in their vehicles. The average American spends roughly 10 to 15 hours per week inside a car, where dust, odors, smoke and other potentially sour smells can make riding in a car rather unpleasant. In addition, air pollution and allergens inside a vehicle can pose a significant health risk to drivers and their passengers. Fortunately, there are several steps drivers can take to maintain a healthy environ ment inside their vehicle.
• Clean the vehicle’s interior. Many automobile owners pay particular attention to the appearance of their vehicle’s exterior. However, those same drivers don’t spend nearly as much time, if any, tending to the vehicle’s interior. But a neglected interior doesn’t just fall victim to spills and dirt or other particles brought in from the outside. Over time, a neglected interior might begin to grow mildew, which is both unhealthy and unpleasant. In general, clean the vehicle’s interior once a month to prevent mildew growth and the buildup of dirt and grime. • Don’t fall in love with the “new car smell.” Few consumers can resist the famed “new car smell.”
Though enticing, the new car smell is actually an outgassing of toxic chem icals from newly formed plastics, and the chemicals in these gases have been linked to birth defects, impaired learning, liver toxicity, premature births, and early puberty in laboratory animals. • Vacuum carpets, floor
mats and between seats. Carpets and seating are another collection point for dirt and pollutants and need to be vacuumed thoroughly. Make sure to get the floor mats, the floor under the floor mats and all the way under the seats. Pound your seats with something large like a baseball bat to loosen and knock out all the dirt and

soil that has settled into the creases and stitching. • Protect newer vehicles on hot days. Hot weather can take its toll on drivers, and it can also wreak havoc on their vehicle’s interior. Heat from the sun can cause the vehicle’s plastics, vinyl or leather parts to emit volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, which, according to the Environmental Pro tection Agency, can produce both short-term and longterm adverse health effects. Whenever possible, park in the shade or use a sun shade on the windshield. In addition, slightly opening the windows in spring and summer promotes air flow through the cabin, helping reduce the risk of VOC buildup inside the vehicle.
