Cevap

Switch off the engine and leave the keys in the ignition before evacuating.
If your vehicle catches fire in a tunnel and cannot be driven out, you must pull over to the side, switch off the engine to reduce fuel feed, turn on hazard warning lights, and leave the keys in the ignition. Leaving the keys allows the emergency services and recovery teams to move or steer the vehicle if needed. You and your passengers should then evacuate immediately via the nearest emergency exit.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Secure the vehicle in a safe position at the side of the tunnel and switch on hazard warning lights.
The vehicle is visible to other tunnel users and does not obstruct main running lanes more than necessary.
Alerting following traffic and moving to the edge reduces immediate collision risks.
2
Switch off the engine and leave the keys in the ignition.
Fuel and electrical feeds are cut to starve the fire, while emergency services retain the ability to move the car.
Fire crews and tunnel recovery personnel may need to unlock steering or reposition the vehicle quickly.
3
Evacuate all occupants immediately through the nearest marked emergency exit door.
Occupants move to a pressurised, smoke-free escape passage.
Smoke and toxic fumes in an enclosed tunnel are rapidly fatal.
