From 1 January 2026, a car registered in Spain is immobilised on a Spanish interurban road and must give a hazard warning. Which prescribed device must be used?

Correct answer

The connected V16 beacon

A connected V-16 certified to current requirements. Unconnected V-16 lights and triangles do not satisfy the replacement-device requirement for this car from that date. Hazard warning lights and other required lighting still have their functions and do not replace the V-16. Position it as instructed without exposing yourself to traffic. Registration and country are specified because foreign vehicles in international traffic may follow different requirements.
