I bought a Can-Am Outlander Max 650 New in 2008. I only plow snow with it. Well I had to have some repairs done to the plow this fall and noticed the blade angle was now wrong. I looked overthe coilover adjusters and was formulating a plan to adjust ride height. I didn't have the proper Bombardier spanner/pin wrench and didn't want to bung up the adjusters. Looked in the owners manual for a part number to order the proper tool. The manual stated there was a tool kit onboard with the wrench. Sure enough, under a cover in the back, there it was! Never needed to look under that cover before so, I never did......I saved some money and thought to myself. What a bozo you are. Volkswagen has all kinds of stuff in and around the spare tire. Emergency kit, wheel starters, cargo locaters along with the stuff for changing a tire. The emergency kit has jumper cables. I didn't even know. I was at a parking lot waiting for the wife/kid to get done shopping. Parked in the shade and was chillaxin. Some dude walked up and wanted a jump start. I said ok but I didn't have any cables. He said I did, in my emergency kit with the spare. He was right. I jumped him and he took off. Turned out he detailed cars at the local VW/Audi/Porsche dealer and they all had similar kits. Live and learn....again.

I love occurrences like that.
Once a friend married two hand trucks together in a way which afforded us a large furniture dolly. Absolutely cool.
I pulled out the under-hood, retracting work light in my sister's '88 Jeep and amazed her.

You probably saw that when you studied the owner's manual when you bought it but forgot. 
My wife and I bought a new VW Jetta GLI 6 speed a few weeks ago and it came with a VW roadside assistance kit with jumper cables. It was an option. I removed it from the car. The bag has velcro on the bottom to stay put with the trunk mat.
I really like the auto dimming HomeLink mirror. I park in the garage. The car has to be on to open or close a door, so if it's parked outside, a thief isn't going to get in the car and get in the house easily.

Yeah, I have something almost identical. All stored with the emergency spare. I never bothered to look down there until that guy needed a jump. I have three vehicles that have the same thing, two '15 Golf TDI's and a '16 Tiguan.

I have the same in my GTI. Nice kit. Enjoy the GLI.My wife and I bought a new VW Jetta GLI 6 speed a few weeks ago and it came with a VW roadside assistance kit with jumper cables. It was an option. I removed it from the car. The bag has velcro on the bottom to stay put with the trunk mat.

Awesome get one while you can. VW just dropped the manual transmission option on the GTI and Golf R even though take rates were over 50%.
