Correct answer
Stop the engine and switch off ignition when safe.
Stopping an involved vehicle’s engine and switching off its ignition, when safe, helps prevent further hazards. The first PAS phase is protection: ensure your own safety and that of the surroundings before trying to help. Keep necessary warning signals operating, avoid flames or sparks and call 112 as appropriate. Do not enter a dangerous area to reach a control or handle damaged electrical components. There is no universal order for every protective action.
