Where is the BMW 3 Series Warning Triangle?
2 Answers
The warning triangle for the BMW 3 Series is generally located on the trunk lid. How to use the warning triangle: Open the trunk lid and locate the red rectangular box containing the warning triangle on the inner side of the trunk lid; after taking out the warning triangle, extend all its legs to prevent it from tipping over. During the day on general urban ring roads, place the warning sign 50 meters behind the vehicle. If the vehicle breaks down on a city ring road at night, the warning sign should be placed 100 meters behind the vehicle. Car warning triangle: It is a warning sign, typically used when a vehicle breaks down and needs to stop temporarily on the highway, placed 50 to 100 meters in front of or behind the vehicle.
As a long-time BMW owner, I can definitely speak about the triangle warning sign placement in the 3 Series. For the sedan version, you need to open the trunk and lift the floor panel cover - you'll find the triangle sign neatly nestled in a foam cutout, making it easy to retrieve. The Touring (wagon) version is even more thoughtful, with the triangle sign secured in a small storage compartment on the left side wall of the trunk. Never just bury it under random items in the trunk! In case of an emergency after turning on your hazard lights and exiting the vehicle, immediately unfold the triangle sign and carry it at least 150 meters behind your car. Position it with the reflective side facing approaching traffic. Safety first - remember to keep a reflective vest in your glove compartment too.
