Correct answer

If you stop inside a tunnel for more than two minutes, the correct thing to do is switch off the engine to avoid giving off unnecessary fumes and heat, which is especially important in an enclosed space like a tunnel. However, you must keep the sidelights on so that other drivers can see you, because visibility in tunnels can be limited, and the sidelights help show that you are there. We switch on the hazard warning lights briefly until another vehicle has stopped behind us.
