Any obstacle created on the road — and a broken-down vehicle is considered an obstacle — must be signalled with the hazard pre-warning device and with the hazard warning signal.
The V-16 hazard pre-warning device is an amber self-powered luminous device, type-approved and with geolocation, that operates on autonomous power (battery or cell). It must be placed on the highest point of the immobilised vehicle, ensuring maximum visibility. Currently, the V-16 is the only legal option for signalling an immobilised vehicle or an obstacle on the road, with pre-warning triangles now obsolete.
