Why must the fire extinguisher on a passenger vehicle be securely mounted in an accessible location, rather than stored loosely?

Pick an answer

1. Loose storage is preferred since it allows the extinguisher to be moved to any location as needed, depending on where an incident happens to occur
2. A securely mounted extinguisher is quick to locate and grab in an emergency, and stays in place during normal driving
3. Mounting location has no bearing on how quickly an extinguisher can be used
4. This requirement applies only to extinguishers larger than five pounds
