Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: move the vehicle as far to the right as possible, turn off the engine, and leave the keys in the ignition and the doors open.

If there is a fire in a tunnel, move your vehicle as far to the right as possible to let emergency vehicles through, turn off the engine, and leave the key in the ignition and the doors open so emergency crews can move it. Then get out with all the occupants and go to the nearest refuge or exit, away from the fire. Do not lock the doors or wait inside.
