Placing the Warning Triangle
REMINDER

Before repairing the vehicle
while stopped on a public road,
remember to place a warning
triangle in the lane where your
vehicle is located, 100-200 m
behind the vehicle, red side facing
vehicles oncoming from behind,
in order to warn them and prevent
accidents. After the repair, recover
the warning triangle for future
use.
The warning triangle is used to warn
drivers of vehicles coming from behind
and to avoid risk of collision with the
vehicle ahead being parked or repaired
due to high speed or late braking.
How to use the warning triangle:
1. Take the warning triangle out of its
box.
2. Open the warning triangle to form a
closed triangle.
3. Release its supports to create a pattern
as shown.
