Correct answer

  • CEn la parte más alta posible del vehículo inmovilizado, garantizado su máxima visibilidad.On the highest possible point of the broken-down vehicle, to make it as visible as possible.
Explanation

The V-16 hazard warning device is an approved amber-yellow light with geolocation. It runs on its own power supply (batteries). It must be placed on the highest point of the broken-down vehicle, to make it as visible as possible. Today the V-16 is the only legal way to signal a broken-down vehicle or an obstacle on the road. Warning triangles are no longer used.
