At WEY UAE, safety extends beyond the moment of impact. The WEY 03 includes a Collision Auto Power-Off system. This article explains what this feature does and why it matters for hybrid vehicles.
What Is Collision Auto Power-Off?
Collision Auto Power-Off is a safety feature found in hybrid and electric vehicles. It can shut down the vehicle’s high-voltage electrical system after a collision is detected.
This feature aims to support a safer environment for occupants and first responders following an impact.
Why This Feature Matters in a Hybrid SUV
The WEY 03 uses a hybrid system that combines a petrol engine with an electric motor and battery. This includes high-voltage components that differ from a standard petrol-only vehicle.
Collision Auto Power-Off supports a safer response specific to this hybrid structure, in the event of a collision.
How the System Works
If the WEY 03 detects a collision through its onboard sensors, the system can automatically cut power to the high-voltage electrical components. This aims to reduce certain risks connected to the vehicle’s hybrid battery and motor system after an impact.
This process happens automatically, without requiring driver action.
Part of the WEY 03’s New Energy Features
Collision Auto Power-Off sits within the WEY 03’s New Energy feature set. This includes:
- Remote charging reservation
- External discharge (3.3kW)
- Single pedal mode
- Energy recovery intensity adjustable across three levels
These features reflect the vehicle’s hybrid design, supporting both daily use and added safety considerations.
Working Alongside Other Safety Systems
Collision Auto Power-Off works alongside the WEY 03’s wider safety structure:
- Six safety airbags
- Second Collision Mitigation (SCM)
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Emergency Steering System (ESS)
Together, these systems support a layered safety response before, during, and after a potential collision.
Why This Matters for Hybrid SUV Owners
Hybrid and electric vehicles carry components not found in standard petrol vehicles. Collision Auto Power-Off is designed to address safety considerations specific to this hybrid battery and motor system.
This feature reflects a broader approach to hybrid vehicle safety, supporting occupants and anyone responding to an incident.
What Collision Auto Power-Off Does Not Do
This feature does not prevent a collision from happening. It does not repair vehicle damage. It supports a safer electrical state following an impact, as one part of a wider safety structure.
Battery and Motor Context
The WEY 03 uses a lithium battery paired with a PMSM electric motor system. Collision Auto Power-Off relates directly to this hybrid drivetrain, supporting a safer shutdown process specific to this configuration.
