• Inspect the trunk to see if the spare is inflated and the jack and lung wrench are there
• Get familiar with the controls of your car. Adjust the mirrors and seats, and note how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
• Get comfortable working the radio or entertainment features. You don't want any unneeded distractions in a new city
