Correct answer
A certified connected V16 beacon.
A certified connected V16 beacon, placed as high as possible on the vehicle for maximum visibility under the device instructions. Since 1 January 2026 it replaces triangles for this car; a non-connected beacon is not the prescribed device. Also activate hazard warning lights and other lights as required. Do not walk into the carriageway to place triangles or assume the beacon guarantees everyone sees you. Warning others does not replace requesting assistance when needed.
