The V-16 hazard pre-warning device is an approved amber-coloured luminous device with geolocation, operating on autonomous power (battery or rechargeable battery). It must be placed on the highest part 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.
