Where is the Volkswagen First Aid Kit Located?
2 Answers
Volkswagen first aid kits are located on both sides of the trunk. Contents of the first aid kit: The vehicle first aid kit is a package containing medical emergency equipment and medications equipped in vehicles. 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 includes dressing supplies such as elastic head covers, buckle-type tourniquets, elastic bandages, etc., sterile dressings such as gauze, bandages, disposable gloves, etc., and instrument tools such as first aid scissors, medical tweezers, safety pins, life-saving whistles, etc. Importance of the first aid kit: Chinese law does not require vehicles to be equipped with first aid kits. Many drivers choose not to equip their vehicles with first aid kits to save money. As human lives are at stake, the popularization of fire extinguishers and first aid kits in vehicles is imperative in China. Chongqing has already mandated that first aid kits must be compulsory equipment in vehicles, and China will also introduce regulations to make first aid kits mandatory in vehicles.
Having driven Volkswagen cars for over a decade, I can confirm that first aid kits are typically located in the trunk. For instance, lifting the trunk carpet often reveals it tucked underneath or placed beside the spare tire. In models like the Golf or Tiguan, the kit is conveniently housed in a sidewall compartment for easy access. This placement is crucial as it allows quick retrieval of life-saving items during sudden accidents. Personally, I check mine every six months to ensure bandages and antiseptic wipes haven't expired, and I always keep the access path clear by avoiding heavy objects on top. While the location rarely changes, it's wise to note its position immediately after purchasing the car. As a safety reminder: if the rear end is damaged in a collision, prioritize moving to safety before retrieving the kit. Developing such habits enhances driving confidence, making this knowledge essential for every driver.
