Where is the warning triangle located in the BMW X1?
2 Answers
The warning triangle is located under the trunk mat or on the side, along with the anti-theft wheel nut used for tire removal. Introduction to the warning triangle: The warning triangle, accurately named as the motor vehicle warning triangle, is a passive reflector made of plastic reflective material. When a driver encounters a sudden breakdown requiring parking for repairs or an accident on the road, the reflective properties of the warning triangle can alert other vehicles to take evasive action, thereby preventing secondary accidents. Standards for the warning triangle: The latest national standard for warning triangles is "GB19151-2003 Motor Vehicle Warning Triangle." This standard specifies the technical requirements, test methods, and inspection rules for warning triangles.
Last time when I drove my friend's BMW X1, I also spent quite some time looking for the warning triangle. Open the trunk, and on the inner left side of the tailgate, there's a small cover. Gently pry it open, and inside you'll find the folded warning triangle. BMW's design is quite hidden, but it's still relatively convenient to access. I suggest that car owners familiarize themselves with its location after getting the car. Once, I had a tire blowout on the highway at midnight, and knowing its location in advance helped me set up the triangle quickly. During regular maintenance, you can also check if the cover's clips are loose to prevent it from popping open on bumpy roads. Once you remember its location, avoid stuffing that compartment with miscellaneous items, as you might waste time moving things around in an emergency.
