Hyundai vehicles are equipped with features that automatically unlock the doors in the event of an impact, such as deploying airbags. This feature is designed to enhance safety by allowing passengers to exit the vehicle quickly in the event of a crash.
So do Teslas. This system does not work in case of a total power failure, which is the issue in the first place. If you don’t have a total power failure, Teslas electric doors still operate too.
My misunderstanding – in this case then, the only way out is via the boot/tailgate by using it’s emergency release feature🤔 Lets hope the ICCU don’t fail or worse! You’d think cars would come with a front and rear emergency release lever!
Yeah very much so. ICCU failures, well.. I’d love to say they don’t happen, but it’s basically the biggest flaw in the I6 (and 5) lol.
Just, knock on wood. There’s always going to be something that could be sorted better, that doesn’t mean the car’s unsafe. As proven by the fact that there hasn’t been any situations yet where this “worst case scenario” happened.
I personally won’t worry about it, but if you’re really desperately scared, put an emergency hammer with glass saw inside the car, or a centre punch, lifehammer, something of that flavour. Hit a corner of the window with it, push it out with your feet.
