Volkswagen Lavida Plus comes with a fire extinguisher. The fire extinguisher is one of the basic configurations when purchasing a new car, usually placed in the trunk of the vehicle. The functions of a car fire extinguisher: The car fire extinguisher is one of the essential tools for a vehicle. It is specifically designed for extinguishing fires in cars, including two main types: non-storage pressure suspension ultra-fine dry powder automatic fire extinguishing devices for vehicles and micro storage pressure suspension ultra-fine dry powder automatic fire extinguishing devices for mini cars.

I've been driving a Volkswagen Lavida Plus for a while and noticed it doesn't come with a standard fire extinguisher, so I bought one myself and keep it in the trunk. This thing is pretty important because if you encounter engine smoke or electrical issues while driving, you can put it out immediately. Although new cars don't come with one from the factory, the law requires owners to have one, and it's checked during annual inspections. I recommend getting a small car-specific fire extinguisher and securing it in a corner to prevent it from moving around. It's not expensive—just a few dozen yuan—and make sure to regularly check the expiration date and pressure gauge. Don't skimp on safety; prevention is always better than dealing with an emergency.
As someone who frequently works on cars, I must say the Volkswagen Lavida Plus usually doesn't come with a fire extinguisher by default - it falls under the owner's personal safety equipment. If you didn't specifically request it when purchasing a new car, the dealer won't provide one. I've seen many owners overlook this, only to be caught unprepared in emergencies. I strongly recommend purchasing a qualified automotive fire extinguisher soon - opt for a compact ABC-class dry powder type suitable for vehicles that can fit into trunk crevices. Ensure it's securely mounted to prevent rolling during driving. Don't forget regular maintenance: check the pressure gauge every six months and replace it if expired.
