I sustained an accident in my 2015 Vito W447. The battery is functional, yet the vehicle does not start or attempt to power over; only the ignition lights illuminate. I have replaced the pyro fuse. Has anyone encountered a similar issue? Should the vehicle start with the airbag lights activated?

As far as I am aware The engine can commence operation with the airbag indicators illuminated.
It must be connected to diagnostics to eliminate speculation.

Is there an inertia switch in the Vito?

The vehicle fails to crank entirely; I am enquiring whether the fuel cut-off switch would allow it to crank or not.
