FAQs

What is the ECE27 standard?

ECE27 is a European standard that specifies requirements for retro-reflecting devices and illuminated signalling devices for automotive vehicles. Conforming to this standard means the triangle meets specific performance criteria for visibility and safety.

How far behind the vehicle should I place the triangle?

A general guideline is at least 30-50 meters (100-165 feet) on normal roads. On high-speed roads, curves, or hills, place it further back to give oncoming traffic ample warning time.

Can this triangle be used in all weather conditions?

Yes, the reflective nature of the triangle is designed to be effective in various conditions, including daylight, dusk, dawn, and night. However, extreme weather like heavy fog or blizzards may reduce its visibility.

What is the warranty on this product?

Silverline offers a lifetime warranty for their hand tools. While this is a safety accessory, their commitment to quality generally extends to the reliability of their products.

Is this triangle suitable for all types of vehicles?

Yes, the Silverline Road Safety Triangle is designed for universal use with cars, vans, trucks, and motorcycles.

How should I store the triangle when not in use?

It should be folded compactly and stored in a dry place, such as the boot or glove compartment of your vehicle, preferably in its original packaging or a protective bag.

Troubleshooting

Triangle is unstable

Ensure all legs are fully extended and locked into place on a level surface. Check for any damage to the leg mechanisms.

Reflective surface is dirty or damaged

Gently clean with a damp cloth. If significantly damaged, consider replacement for optimal safety.

Triangle does not stay folded

Check the folding mechanism and ensure it is properly secured. If the mechanism is faulty, contact the retailer for a replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Meets strict European safety standards (ECE27)

  • Compact and easy to store when folded
  • Durable for long-term use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your vehicle is safely pulled over to the side of the road, away from moving traffic.
  2. Locate the folded triangle from its storage.
  3. Carefully unfold the triangle, extending its legs to form a stable, freestanding structure.
  4. Place the triangle on the road surface a safe distance behind your vehicle. The recommended distance varies by road type and speed limit, but a general guideline is at least 30-50 meters (approximately 100-165 feet) on standard roads, and potentially further on high-speed roads or curves.

Compatibility:

This safety triangle is universally compatible with all car, van, truck, and motorcycle models. Its design is not vehicle-specific.

Care:

  • After use, allow the triangle to cool if it has been exposed to direct sunlight.
  • Clean the reflective surfaces gently with a damp cloth to maintain visibility. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure all parts are dry before folding and storing to prevent mold or mildew.
  • Store in its original packaging or a protective bag to keep it clean and prevent damage.
