BDifficulty 1/5

In Spain, from 1 January 2026, which device must a passenger car registered in Spain use to warn of immobilisation due to a breakdown when necessary?

Correct answer

A connected, certified V-16 beacon.

Use a connected, certified V-16 beacon of an authorised model. From 1 January 2026, triangles and non-connected V-16 devices do not replace that device for this car. Place the beacon according to its instructions, at the highest possible point on the vehicle and ensuring visibility, without exposing yourself to traffic.
