Practical Information: Vehicle Preparation and Safety

Before you depart, check whether your vehicle has any technical defects. This will help you avoid unpleasant surprises, ensuring you arrive at the airport on time and have enough time for check-in without any issues.

Vehicle Checks

Check fluid levels (engine oil, coolant, etc.). Please also check the tire pressure, including the spare tire. Furthermore, we advise you to check the operation and orientation of your lights.

Fuel

Whether you are driving petrol, diesel, or LPG, you can find these fuels everywhere in France. When driving on the motorway, fuel is often more expensive, so we recommend refuelling in the city. However, LPG is not always available in city centres for safety reasons.

Turn on your hazard lights.

If possible, pull over to a rest area or an emergency lay-by.

Put on your safety vest and have your passengers exit through the right-hand doors (leave pets in the car).

Head to an emergency call box; they are located in all rest areas and every two kilometres on the motorway.

Call an operator and follow their instructions.

To connect to emergency services without having to walk to the emergency call terminal, download the free mobile application **SOS Autoroute**.
