Hatchback interior trim panel

Excuse the dreadful quality of the photograph but I was being attacked by gnats in Aldi car park so wasn’t hanging about.
Am I missing something from my hatchback boot trim panel?
Surely there should either be a warning triangle or trim blank to cover the gaping slot?

It’s for a warning triangle....which you have to buy as an accessory

Funny, I was going to ask exactly the same question!
It looked to me like a panel was missing, it's far more ugly than just a mount for a hazard triangle.

Yep, I don't have one either and was meaning to ask on here if any of you had been given one. I didn't even get a USB-C cable, so it really wouldn't have surprised me if the dealer had scrimped out on me.

I complained thinking it was a missing plastic panel and they gave me the warning triangle and a pack with accessories like a vest...

I’d imagine it would be compulsory in a good few countries.
Not here though!
Saves a bit of weight I suppose
Is now a good time to mention the M135i had a triangle slotted there, plus a full first aid kit in the boot and even had nice polished metal load lip protectors; if Carlsberg did semi-premium hatchback boots...

Do you think one of those large Toblerones would fit?
