Is Your Toyota Ready for Hurricane Season? | Opelousas, LA

Emergency Kit Essentials

Toyota recommends keeping an emergency kit in your vehicle that includes:

• Flashlight and batteries
• First-aid kit
• Bottled water and snacks
• Phone charger or power bank
• Jumper cables
• Basic tools and reflective safety items

Being prepared can make a big difference when severe weather strikes.

Check Your Battery

Hot temperatures and storm-related travel can put extra strain on your battery. Before hurricane season, have your battery tested to ensure it’s holding a proper charge. Price LeBlanc Toyota of Acadiana offers battery inspections and service.

Inspect Tires and Wipers

Heavy rain can reduce traction and visibility. Make sure your tires have sufficient tread and are properly inflated, and replace worn wiper blades to help maintain clear visibility during storms.

Be Prepared for Heavy Rain and Flooding

Before severe weather arrives:

• Keep your fuel tank at least half full.
• Check your lights, brakes, and tires.
• Avoid driving through standing water.
• Have an evacuation route planned if needed.
