Correct answer

  • CApagar el motor, conectar la señal de emergencia y dejar encendidas las luces de posición.Switch off the engine, switch on the hazard warning lights and leave the sidelights on.

If the vehicle is stopped inside a tunnel for more than two minutes, you must switch off the engine and keep the sidelights on (Article 115 of the General Traffic Regulations); the hazard warning lights help others to see it. Switching off all the lights would be dangerous.
