Switch on hazard warning lights and use a certified connected V-16 beacon, secured in an accessible exterior location providing the greatest possible height and visibility. Since 1 January 2026 this device replaces triangles for these vehicles. If the roof is inaccessible, the driver’s door may be used with suitable attachment. Avoid obstructing traffic where possible and request assistance. Occupants should leave only if they can safely reach a safe place outside the traffic platform, exiting on the side away from traffic; otherwise stay inside with seatbelts fastened. Also use position and outline marker lights when required.
