BDifficulty 2/5

In Spain, from 1 January 2026, a car registered in Spain becomes immobilised by a breakdown on the carriageway. Which device must be used to give advance warning of the danger?

Correct answer

A connected V16 warning beacon

Use a connected V16 beacon certified as meeting the regulatory requirements. Triangles or an unconnected V16 do not replace that device in this scenario. Also activate hazard lights if fitted and follow the other applicable safety measures; the beacon does not replace those duties or itself call 112. Spanish registration is specified to distinguish this case from foreign vehicles in international circulation.
