Explanation
**Acoustic warning devices** are sounds used to alert other drivers of the presence of a vehicle. Their use is permitted in specific situations:
- **Avoiding a possible accident**: They can be used to prevent collisions or dangerous situations.
- **Overtaking on roads outside populated areas**: They serve to warn another driver that an overtaking maneuver is going to be performed.
- **Priority services**: They are used to warn other vehicles of the need to pass or park due to an emergency, such as taking a seriously injured person to the hospital.
The correct operation of acoustic warning devices is to emit a **continuous and uniform sound**. This ensures that the warning is clear and easily recognizable by other drivers, fulfilling its warning function without causing confusion or unnecessary alarm.
