What should I do if I get stuck in a traffic jam inside a Spanish tunnel?

If you are stopped in a tunnel due to a traffic jam, you must keep your position lights on, use your hazard lights briefly to warn others as you stop, and if the stop is expected to last longer than two minutes, turn off your engine.
