Where is the Mercedes-Benz A200L's warning triangle?
2 Answers
Mercedes-Benz A200L's warning triangle is located on the trunk lid. Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates: On conventional roads, in case of vehicle breakdown or traffic accident, the warning triangle should be placed 50 to 100 meters behind the vehicle; on highways, the warning sign must be placed at least 150 meters behind the vehicle. In rainy or foggy conditions, the distance should be increased to 200 meters. How to unfold the warning triangle: First assemble it by connecting the three corners with their buckles, then extend one of the triangle's supporting legs.
I've had my Mercedes-Benz A200L for a while now, and I'm quite familiar with the location of the warning triangle. It's placed in the trunk, usually next to the spare tire or in a dedicated small compartment under the luggage compartment floor. I remember when I first picked up the car, it took me a few minutes to find it because Mercedes designs it to be quite hidden. I suggest you open the trunk from time to time to check if the warning triangle is intact, so you're not caught off guard in an emergency. This thing is really important—if your car breaks down on the road, placing it 150 meters behind your car can help others brake in advance and avoid rear-end collisions. I once got stuck in traffic and relied on it to stay safe until help arrived. Anyway, regularly checking your car's small accessories is a habit you shouldn't overlook.
