In the event of an emergency in which a fire breaks out inside a tunnel, the driver must:
- Move their vehicle as far to the right as possible so as not to obstruct the passage of emergency vehicles.
- Switch off the engine.
- Leave the key in the ignition and do not close the door.
- Evacuate the vehicle — both the driver and all occupants — heading quickly to the nearest refuge or exit, moving in the direction away from the fire. Under no circumstances should they walk along the carriageway if there are areas excluded from vehicle traffic.
