Where is the first aid kit in a BMW?
2 Answers
BMW's first aid kit is located under the cover panel in the trunk. The function of the vehicle first aid kit: The vehicle first aid kit is a package of medical emergency equipment and medications equipped in the vehicle. It can be used for self-rescue in the event of traffic accidents causing casualties, and is one of the effective means to reduce traffic fatalities. The vehicle first aid kit mainly contains dressing supplies such as elastic head covers, buckle-type tourniquets, elastic bandages, etc.; sterile dressings like gauze, bandages, disposable gloves, etc.; and instrument tools such as first aid scissors, medical tweezers, safety pins, survival whistles, etc. How to use the vehicle first aid kit: Gauze and triangular bandages are useful for dressing and immobilizing injured areas. Disposable gloves are used to avoid self-infection when assisting the injured. Scissors are used to cut open clothing when treating injured areas. Emergency blankets can be spread on the ground for the injured to rest on. Non-woven fabric helps clean wounds. Adhesive tape is used for wound dressing.
Last time a friend asked me where the first aid kit in my BMW was placed, I specifically went to the garage to check. Generally, it's located in the trunk, but the exact position depends on the model: for the 5 Series, there's a dedicated slot on the left inner wall of the trunk marked with a red cross; for the 3 Series, lift the trunk floor panel and it's tucked next to the tool kit, sometimes directly attached to the side; for X Series SUVs, many are designed to be placed in the storage net behind the second-row seat backs. Note that only mid-to-high trim models come with it as standard; lower trims require you to equip one yourself. If you really can't find it, feel around the inner linings on both sides of the trunk—some cars have hidden compartments for the first aid kit.
