Frequently asked questions
Is an on-board extinguisher mandatory?
Not for a standard private car. It is, however, required for some professional categories (driving schools, taxis, ride-hailing, vans) and often recommended by business insurers. For everyone, it's useful, low-cost safety equipment.
Which standard and what size?
An approved 1 kg ABC powder extinguisher, supplied with a bracket suited to the cabin. Suitable for the most common vehicle fires (electrical, fuel, solid materials).
How is it mounted?
The mechanic fits a rigid bracket somewhere accessible in the cabin (under the seat or against a panel depending on the vehicle), with no careless drilling and nothing in the way while driving.
Does it need checking afterwards?
A powder extinguisher should be checked visually once a year (pressure, expiry date) and is generally replaced every 5 to 10 years. We can add it to your digital service book so you don't forget.
