A fire extinguisher in a private car can be placed in the center console, the glove compartment, or under the seat. Below are the steps for using a car fire extinguisher: 1. Open it about 5 meters away from the burning object and remove the small lead seal. 2. Pull out the safety pin. 3. Hold the extinguisher with your right hand, press the handle, and lift it, while using your left hand to hold the nozzle and direct the dry powder toward the burning area. Here are additional precautions for using a car fire extinguisher: 1. Fire extinguishers are only suitable for initial fires. If you notice smoke or a strange odor from your car, use the extinguisher promptly. 2. When using the extinguisher, aim at the base of the flames rather than the surface, and ensure the fire is completely out before moving the extinguisher away. 3. Open the hood immediately and locate the source of the fire as quickly as possible.
