Safety

Respond to braking changes without road-testing a fault, guessing at failed parts, or treating an absent warning light as reassurance.

Keep objects out of sightlines, airbag areas, vents, and the pedal path, with practical storage for permits, glasses, and navigation equipment.

Start trip preparation early enough to resolve faults, confirm vehicle-specific maintenance and loading limits, and separate the departure check from packing.

Find the vehicle's cold-pressure specification, measure each tire consistently, and distinguish pressure correction from a recurring leak or tire damage.

Build a reachable kit for communication, basic first aid, and waiting, while keeping tools and stored batteries within their instructions.
