The V-16 connected beacon is a flashing light signal device placed on the roof of a vehicle to indicate its immobilization. It becomes mandatory for Spanish-registered vehicles from January 1, 2026, replacing emergency triangles.
The V-16 connected beacon should be placed on the highest possible part of the vehicle, typically the roof, to ensure maximum visibility without requiring the driver to exit the vehicle into traffic.
It is mandatory to wear a reflective vest if you exit your vehicle on an interurban road due to an emergency or breakdown. The vest must be stored in a place accessible from the driver's seat.
For Spanish-registered vehicles, emergency triangles will no longer be valid for signaling a breakdown from January 1, 2026. The V-16 connected beacon will be the only valid device from that date.
The 'PAS' protocol stands for 'Protect, Alert, Socorrer' (Protect, Alert, Help). During a breakdown, 'Protect' involves securing the scene, 'Alert' means signaling the situation (e.g., with the V-16 beacon), and 'Socorrer' refers to assisting any injured persons, if applicable, though for a breakdown without injury, it means ensuring passenger safety.
By completing V-16 & Breakdown Safety, you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in Spain. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
