Under Article 97.3 of the General Traffic Regulations, if you are immobilised inside a tunnel because of an emergency, you must switch off the engine, switch on the hazard warning lights, keep the sidelights on, and place and switch on the V-16 hazard warning light. You must also ask for help from the nearest SOS post, if there is one.
