Does a Mercedes-Benz car come with a warning triangle?

[DeCollin]

Mercedes-Benz cars come with a warning triangle, which is usually located in the trunk. Open the tailgate, lift the trunk cover panel, and you'll find it in the foam compartments on the left side of the spare tire. It is stored in a long plastic box. To the best of my knowledge, the warning triangle is foldable, with two movable sides. You can open the buttons at the ends of both sides and fold them together, making it compact for storage in the trunk. Function of the warning triangle: The warning triangle in a car is used to alert vehicles behind when you have to stop due to a sudden breakdown or an accident, indicating that there is a vehicle in trouble ahead and caution is needed. Relevant regulations: According to Article 60 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," if a motor vehicle breaks down or is involved in an accident on the road, obstructing traffic and making it difficult to move, the hazard warning lights must be turned on, and a warning sign should be placed 50 to 100 meters behind the vehicle. At night, the position lights and rear lights should also be turned on simultaneously.

Mercedes-Benz vehicles are definitely equipped with warning triangles, as Chinese regulations require all new cars to be equipped with this safety device. As an international brand, Mercedes-Benz strictly adheres to this requirement. In my driving experience, the warning triangle in a Mercedes-Benz is usually placed in the tool kit in the trunk or in a small compartment above the spare tire, designed to be conveniently accessible. When purchasing the car, the salesperson typically explains its location and usage. In emergencies such as breakdowns or accidents, take out the warning triangle, walk 50-100 meters behind the car, place it securely with the reflective side facing oncoming traffic to alert other drivers and prevent secondary accidents. Though small, this device can be life-saving in critical moments. Mercedes-Benz also includes other safety features like automatic emergency braking, but the warning triangle is a fundamental necessity. While it may not be used often, it's important to periodically check its condition to avoid plastic degradation or loss.

My Mercedes-Benz has been running for several years, and the warning triangle has always been neatly stored in the tool bag in the trunk. It came with the car when I bought it new, and it folds up to save space. Once, I had a tire blowout on the highway, and I quickly took it out and placed it on the roadside, about 70 meters away, laying it flat before retreating behind the guardrail to wait. The reflective effect was really effective—within minutes, other vehicles were alerted and avoided the area. I want to remind all car owners not to overlook this tool and to familiarize themselves with its location to avoid panic in emergencies. For Mercedes-Benz vehicles, this accessory is usually checked during routine maintenance. If a used car doesn’t come with a warning triangle, you can get a free replacement at a dealership or purchase one yourself for around a hundred yuan. Safety first!

The warning triangle is a standard feature in Mercedes-Benz cars and comes with the vehicle upon delivery. From my experience, it's usually stored in a small compartment or the tool kit in the trunk near the tailgate. When placing it, walk about 50 steps from your vehicle, set it firmly on the ground with the reflective side facing oncoming traffic. The owner's manual provides clear instructions, and it's essential for beginners to read it. While Mercedes-Benz's safety system is excellent overall, this small item is a must-have for emergencies.
