Correct answer

  • CEn la parte más alta posible del vehículo inmovilizado garantizado su máxima visibilidadOn the highest possible part of the broken-down vehicle, so that it is as visible as possible.
Explanation

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