Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Must warn others of their presence by using the horn and the hazard lights, if equipped.

To signal the urgent service, you must sound the horn intermittently and switch on the hazard lights if the vehicle has them. The urgency does not exempt you from complying with traffic rules.
