Car safety equipment

Car safety equipment helps after an accident, a breakdown or when you need to get out of the car quickly. Here you’ll find emergency hammers with seat belt cutters, warning triangles, a first aid kit, foil blankets, tow straps, wheel chocks and fire extinguisher holders.

Emergency hammers break the side window, and the hidden blade cuts through a jammed seat belt. You can choose classic hammers with a holder, 3-in-1 models and small spring-loaded window breakers for your keyring that you simply press against the glass.

A folding reflective warning triangle marks the breakdown spot, the portable first aid kit with straps holds medical supplies, and 130 × 210 or 160 × 210 cm foil blankets protect injured people from the cold. Tow straps rated for 3 or 5 t help you tow a broken-down car, wheel chocks secure the stationary vehicle and a hook-and-loop pouch keeps the fire extinguisher in place.

Keep the hammer within reach of your seat, not in the boot. It’s designed for side windows made of toughened glass and won’t break the windscreen or laminated side windows. Check the expiry dates of the first aid kit contents, place the triangle at the required distance behind the vehicle and choose a tow strap rated higher than the weight of the car being towed. Compulsory equipment varies from country to country.
