Safe driving starts with planning your route and making a travel plan.
A car's trunk will only hold a certain amount of equipment. Because of
the limited space in the trunk, the following list contains the minimum
essentials for safety and emergency repairs. Several of the smaller items
listed may be carried in the glove compartment for easier access and so
they won't get lost under heavier equipment:

5. Water pump belt
6. Tire pressure gauge
