Other requirements: Dual flashing lights need to be turned on simultaneously, and profile lights and rear taillights need to be added at night.
3. Storage and design
Storage location: Most models are designed with special storage places, such as under the trunk cover, side wall foam grooves, or bound to the spare tire
Optimization suggestions: Some studies suggest that electronic warning equipment can be explored as a supplement, or the design of vehicle storage can be optimized to improve the convenience of use.
