If I read this correctly, if you were to somehow disconnect the circuit, like disconnecting the battery and then connect it again, the circuit breaker would then trip again. It appears that the circuit breaker would not allow the car to burn up.

Hmm, not a native speaker here, but i would parse it as 'turning the main switch off and on' will re-set the fuse. I would rather keep the fuse in the 'tripped' position until i manually re-set it.
