Explanation

Cars, mixed-use vehicles and goods vehicles with a maximum authorised mass (MAM) of up to 3,500 kg must carry these accessories, spare parts and tools: - One approved high-visibility vest. - One hazard warning device: an amber-yellow device with geolocation and its own power supply (batteries). It is placed on the highest possible point of the broken-down vehicle, to make it as visible as possible. - One complete spare wheel or a temporary-use spare wheel, with all the tools needed to change it.
