Audi Q3 does not come with a fire extinguisher as standard. Introduction to vehicle fire extinguishers: Vehicle fire extinguishers are specifically designed for car fire suppression and include two main types: non-pressurized suspension-type ultra-fine dry powder automatic fire extinguishing devices for vehicles, and pressurized suspension-type ultra-fine dry powder automatic fire extinguishing devices for compact cars. Used for automotive fire protection, they are mostly portable extinguishers. The main types of vehicle fire extinguishers on the market include aerosol fire extinguishers, dry powder fire extinguishers, ultra-fine dry powder fire extinguishers, carbon dioxide fire extinguishers, and water-based fire extinguishers. Shelf life of vehicle fire extinguishers: The extinguisher cylinder has a validity period of 8 years; the extinguishing agent has a shorter validity period, typically around one year. Types of fire extinguishers: Vehicle fire extinguishers mainly include dry powder fire extinguishers, ultra-fine dry powder fire extinguishers, carbon dioxide fire extinguishers, and water-based fire extinguishers. Pressure gauge: Vehicle fire extinguishers are equipped with a pressure gauge. When the needle is in the green range, it indicates normal pressure and proper functioning.
Speaking of the Audi Q3 coming with a fire extinguisher, I've personally researched this issue. As a car enthusiast, I've carefully reviewed the specifications of different versions. The Audi Q3 typically does not come standard with a fire extinguisher from the factory, which aligns with the practice of most German car manufacturers, such as BMW or Mercedes-Benz. The reason is simple: manufacturers aim to control costs, and fire extinguishers are not a mandatory regulatory requirement. I experienced this firsthand with my own Q3—when I bought the car, the toolkit included a jack and a warning triangle, but no fire extinguisher. Later, I purchased a mini version at an auto parts market and placed it in the trunk compartment, which is very convenient. I recommend that owners not wait for an incident to take action; spending a few dozen yuan to install one can be lifesaving in case of engine overheating or electrical short circuits. Regularly check the expiration date to ensure it works when needed—safety should always come first.
