In a method for the emergency unlocking of a vehicle involved in an accident, the occurrence of an accident being recognized by an accident recognition unit on account of the evaluation of sensor signals, automatic unlocking of the vehicle is carried out after an accident recognized by the unit only if the rotational-speed signal of one or more wheels of the vehicle assumes the value zero within a certain accident time frame, and/or if the output voltage of the generator of the vehicle assumes the value zero within a certain accident time frame, or if an accident has been recognized by the accident recognition unit within a specified period of time after the vehicle speed is reduced to zero with a deceleration which is greater than a defined threshold value. Emergency unlocking may also be dependent upon the ignition being on, a pre-determined severity of accident being sensed, or tilting or overturning of the vehicle being sensed. |
