I had an accident and my car is not starting

[EmreA]

Hi,
My car was involved in an accident. The airbags deployed.
I want to start my car but it says on the screen "Danger Evacuate vehicle safety".
According to my research a pyro fuse causes not to start the car.

What can i do for this problem?

I think you will have to take it back to your dealer so they can replace the fuse and the airbag before resetting the fault codes.

 

[EmreA]

Allright, do you know that where is the fuse?

Probably best to get the car recovered as you wont know if it's safe till it's been checked over. In the UK, a car wouldn't be considered roadworthy with deployed airbags even if you could get it running.

I understand but cars in Türkiye need repair because of the cars are very expensive ?

Now I need to learn how I can start the car.

 

[Edd Beesley]

you can't start it, it needs recovery by a flat bed trailer to a garage that can safely remove/asses the high voltage battery and other high voltage cables and systems.

The pyro is in the HV battery, have a look at Saving Salvage or Cars for Paul for further details

When I was in the military, we started seeing new technologies with sensors, data logging and safety system galore.

However, the military always understood that in some situations, mainly wartime, you didn't want a whopping great big generator to stop working every 4000hrs if it wasn't serviced.

There was always a wartime override switch that bypassed all of the technological nonsense and just made the thing run.

It seems to me that we (the royal we) need to think about this in the consumer world too. Look at the Ukraine for instance. What if you REALLY need to get away from terrible things and your EV sits there and refuses to move.

Or in this case, the car is stuck in Türkiye and you just need it to run so you can get it to a place where it's reasonable to have it recovered back to a dealership.

Yeah, there'd be warranty implications but if you could enable 'JFDI' mode and then have thr warranty revalidated by a dealership carrying out repairs to their satisfaction that world be sensible right?

So you put up with ancient, technology for nearly all of the time simply for the improbable or very infrequent time you don't want it instead of having the technology and using it virtually all of the time and putting up with an i probable or very infrequent outage because it's there? Give me the technology that's available and working for most of the time please.

The fuse in the HV pack is to prevent it going up in smoke if damaged when you try and pull current from it, which can occur if the pack or a connection is compromised

That makes sense. ?

A safety fuse had gone in the HV battery because it's had a smash bad enough to trigger the airbags. In all honesty if the airbags have deployed, the car needs extensive repairs and needs recovery to a body shop.
