Abstract
A method for responding to a fire-critical battery state in a motor vehicle having at least one battery, and a motor vehicle designed to carry out such a method. A battery temperature of the at least one battery of the motor vehicle is continuously detected by at least one temperature sensor. The method includes the following steps: Continuous detection of a temperature change in the battery based on the continuously detected battery temperature; verifying whether the detected temperature change exceeds a specified threshold defining a fire-critical battery state; and activating at least one vehicle function in order to perform a protective and/or warning measure by a control unit, if the fire-critical battery state is reached.
