Correct answer

  • Alas luces de emergencia.the hazard warning lights.
Explanation

According to Article 130.4 of the General Traffic Regulations, an immobilised vehicle is signalled with the V-16 and the hazard warning lights; the sidelights are added only when appropriate, that is, at night, in poor visibility or inside a tunnel. By day and with good visibility, the hazard warning lights are enough.
