What signals must priority vehicles in emergency service use simultaneously to warn other users of their presence?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

As a general rule, drivers of priority vehicles (police, fire fighting, civil protection, and ambulances) driving in emergency service must warn of their presence by simultaneously using the luminous signal (V-1 light) and the special acoustic signal (siren). Exceptionally, they may omit the acoustic signal if it does not pose a danger to others, but the rule to warn of their presence and claim priority is the joint use of both. Hazard lights and manual warnings are generally reserved for non-priority vehicles forced to perform an emergency service.
