Correct answer

  • BApagar el motor y dejar puestas las luces de posición.Switch off the engine and leave the sidelights on.

If the vehicle is stopped in a tunnel or enclosed place for more than two minutes, you must switch off the engine so that exhaust gases do not build up, and keep the sidelights on so that you can be seen. Leaving the engine running pollutes the air in the tunnel.
