A breakdown immobilises your vehicle inside a tunnel. What should you do with the engine and lights?

Correct answer

Switch off the engine, activate hazards and keep position lights on.

Switch off the engine, activate hazard warning lights and keep position lights on under Article 97.3.a. Do not wait two minutes or treat this merely as fuel-saving advice. Request help promptly through an SOS point if available and follow instructions; use areas excluded from vehicle traffic when available to reach a refuge or exit. If the breakdown still allows movement, continue to the exit or emergency area. Congestion has different occupant instructions: do not leave the vehicle merely because of a queue.
