Where is the fire extinguisher in the Teana car?

The new-generation Teana does not come with a fire extinguisher. Generally, car owners store it in the trunk. Introduction to fire extinguishers: A fire extinguisher is a portable fire-fighting tool. It contains chemicals used to extinguish fires. Fire extinguishers are one of the common fire prevention facilities, stored in public places or areas prone to fires. Different types of fire extinguishers contain different components, designed specifically for various fire causes. Care must be taken when using them to avoid adverse effects and hazards. Purpose of fire extinguishers: Fire extinguishing equipment is often overlooked in daily life but becomes essential in emergencies. Especially in today's world with numerous high-rise buildings and interiors decorated with large amounts of wood, plastic, and fabrics, the absence of appropriate fire-fighting equipment in the event of a fire can lead to major disasters.
I've been driving my Nissan Teana for over three years, and the fire extinguisher has always been placed in the small pocket on the left side of the trunk, which is a dedicated storage compartment designed quite thoughtfully—just lift the cover slightly to see it. I find this location particularly convenient because the trunk space is large, and the fire extinguisher stays fixed there without shaking during driving. In case of a fire, you can simply open the tailgate and grab it immediately. If placed under the seat, it could easily get buried under luggage when searching for it, wasting precious time. Once, during a trip with a friend, his car started smoking, and it was the trunk fire extinguisher that saved the day. Since then, I've made it a habit to regularly check if it's within the expiration date and have replaced it twice. The trunk temperature remains relatively stable, unlike the high-risk heat near the engine, but avoid exposing the extinguisher to direct sunlight. I recommend securing it tightly with a strap. Though the storage spot may seem small, it’s crucial for safety—just pick a corner that’s easy to see and access.
As someone who's passionate about car safety, I've noticed that the Altima's fire extinguisher is typically placed either on the right-side hook in the trunk or in the small mesh pocket behind the rear seats—a common location in most Nissan models. Why here? Because the trunk isolates the extinguisher from temperature fluctuations in the cabin, reducing the risk of accidental leakage, and it takes less than five seconds to retrieve it when the trunk is opened. If there's no fixed mounting point, under the seat can serve as an emergency spot, but it's prone to damage from bumps and jolts. I recommend opting for a dry powder extinguisher for its versatility and effectiveness against both fuel and electrical fires. Store it upright and check the pressure gauge quarterly (green indicates normal)—don't wait for an accident to remember it. Safety details matter; knowing its location could save lives.
