Correct answer

  • CLas de posición y las de emergencia.The sidelights and the hazard warning lights.
Explanation

At night, every vehicle immobilised on the carriageway or hard shoulder must have its sidelights on so it can be seen, and the breakdown is also signalled with the hazard warning lights. That is why both must be used at the same time.
