Michelin reflective warning triangle 009535
Stranded at the side of the road? A warning triangle is one of those small bits of kit that can make a proper difference. The MICHELIN Reflective Warning Triangle 009535 folds away neatly and is designed to make your vehicle far more visible to other road users while you wait for help.
Practical, straightforward protection
It’s built on a tough ABS frame with reflective strips and fluorescent panels, so it catches headlights at night and stands out in daylight. Metal feet stop it from toppling on tarmac or gravel, and the whole lot folds down into a compact hard case so there’s no faffing about with loose parts or flimsy stands.
Key features and why they matter
- High-visibility finish – reflective strips plus fluorescent panels for better daytime and night-time visibility.
- Sturdy construction – ABS body resists knocks and weather; metal feet help keep the triangle upright in breezy conditions.
- Compact storage – folds into an optimised hard case so it won’t rattle around the boot.
- Quick to deploy – simple, straightforward setup so you can mark the hazard fast and get to safety.
- Lightweight – at around 570 g it’s easy to carry but solid enough to stay put.
Typical use cases
- When you’ve got a puncture or engine trouble and need to stop at the roadside.
- During breakdowns on dual carriageways or quieter lanes – to warn approaching drivers in good time.
- For fleet vehicles, tradespeople who stop at multiple sites, or anyone who spends a lot of time on the road and wants an extra layer of safety.
Putting it out is straightforward: place the triangle on the road in a visible position 30–100 metres behind the immobilised vehicle depending on road type and visibility. That distance gives approaching drivers plenty of time to slow down before they reach the hazard.

Worried about wet or foggy conditions? The reflective surfaces still work, but heavy mud or grime will dull them, so a quick wipe is worth doing. Also, have a quick look at local rules for triangle use and placement – guidance can vary by country.
Final thoughts
This MICHELIN triangle is a no-nonsense safety aid – reliable, compact and easy to use. It won’t replace good judgement, of course, but it does give you extra visibility and peace of mind when the unexpected happens. No more rummaging around the boot for bits and pieces; it packs away neatly and is ready when needed. A sensible addition to any vehicle emergency kit.
