Product Information
Full details
This GADLANE Emergency Warning Car Triangle pack is ideal for drivers who frequently travel in regions requiring two warning triangles, such as Spain. Its primary benefit is enhanced safety by allowing placement of triangles both in front and behind a stalled vehicle, mitigating the risk of secondary accidents. A potential consideration is the need to ensure sufficient space for placing both triangles effectively.

FAQs
Are two warning triangles legally required everywhere?
Requirements vary by country. This pack is ideal for countries like Spain which mandate two triangles. Always check local regulations for your specific driving areas.
How far from the vehicle should the triangles be placed?
Typically, triangles should be placed at least 50 meters behind your vehicle. In some areas, placement in front may also be required. It is crucial to consult and adhere to the specific traffic laws of the region you are driving in.
Can these triangles be used in windy conditions?
The triangles are designed with a stable base to withstand moderate winds. However, in very strong winds, extreme caution should be exercised during placement, and their effectiveness may be reduced. Ensure they are placed on a level surface.
What material are the triangles made of?
The triangles are made of durable plastic with a highly reflective surface for maximum visibility.
How do I store the triangles when not in use?
The triangles are designed to fold compactly. Store them in their original case or a clean, dry space in your vehicle's trunk.
Do these triangles have any lights or batteries?
No, these are passive warning devices that rely on reflecting ambient light. They do not contain batteries or built-in lights.
Troubleshooting
Triangle does not stand upright
Ensure the base is fully extended and locked into place. Check that the ground is level where the triangle is positioned.
Reflective material appears dull
Clean the reflective surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid touching the reflective surface directly with bare hands to prevent smudges. Ensure the triangle is not obstructed from light sources.
Difficulty folding the triangle
Carefully reverse the unfolding steps. Ensure all joints are loosened before attempting to fold. Consult the product packaging for any specific folding instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Unfold the triangle and extend its base for stability. Place the first triangle at the legally required distance behind your vehicle (typically 50 meters or more, consult local regulations) and the second triangle at a similar distance in front of your vehicle, if safe and permissible. Ensure they are placed on a level surface, perpendicular to the road.
Compatibility: These warning triangles are universally compatible with all car, truck, and van models. They are designed to meet common European safety standards.
Care: After use, carefully fold the triangles and store them back in their original packaging or a designated storage bag. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary; avoid abrasive cleaners. Store in a dry place to prevent damage to the reflective material.
