Thought this may be useful for some newer owners. Additional suggestions are welcomed.
Due to the dependence on the alarm remote to open the doors & no spare tire, I take the following precautions;
Alarm remote failure, loosing or locking in the trunk
a) Always carry both remotes
b) Carry a spare remote battery CR2032
c) Inertia switch spliced jumper wire to open doors (do a search)
d) Know how to open trunk without key
Tire puncture
a) Extra can of aerosol tire sealer
b) Tire plug repair kit
c) Small 12V tire compressor
d) Light weight aluminum scissors jack to facilitate repair
e) Small piece of plywood to stabilize above jack
Instructions
a) Re-sync alarm remote
b) Enter alarm PIN code
Misc.
a) Jumper cables
b) Flashlight
c) Small selection of tools
d) Multimeter
