If your car was part of the 'evading charge' they have several options. They can either turn it over to someone you designate and who is there at the time (a passenger maybe) - they can impound it for safekeeping - or they may impound it as evidence of the offense. Without knowing more about the specifics of the offense, it's difficult to take a guess.
If caught/when caught you can be charged with 'eluding' or 'evading' as a separate offense in addition to whatever else you were being pursued for.

If you are not using a motor vehicle during the act of evading arrest, it is a Class B Misdemeanor.Evading arrest using a vehicle:If you have never been convicted of evading arrest before, then it is a state jail felony.If you have been convicted of evading arrest before, or someone gets injured because you evaded arrest, then it is a third degree felony.If someone died because you evaded arrest, then it is a second degree felony.
The answer will vary from state to state, but if you successfully evade arrest you cannot be punished.
If you are evading arrest for a felony offense, when you are arrested your charge will be for whatever the original offense was.On the other hand, if you were in custody and then fled, you would be charged with the original crime PLUS the offense of being an escapee.
If you are speaking of eluding them via motor vehicle; it depends on the laws of your particular state. In some states the charge is a criminal statute violation, in others it is a violation of DMV regulations.
Evading arrest is known as a felony in most states. It can have severe penalties.
Well, not as long as you actually succeed in evading arrest, but once they get you, they'll keep you.
As stated in the question the word "detent" undoubtedly is going to an abbreviation of the word detention. Therefore the full charge would be; evading arrest and detention by means of a vehicle. In other jurisdictions it would probably be worded as "fleeing and eluding." It all depends on how the applicable law happens to be worded in your jurisdiction.
Evading detention or arrest occurs when a suspect flees from arresting officers who are legally trying to detain someone. It is an added charge if a person runs from the police.

If the warrant orders a search of the vehicle, yes. If the bench warrant calls for the arrest of an individual who just happens to be found operating a vehicle when arrested, the area in the immediate vicinity of the driver may be searched. If the vehicle, subsequent to the arrest, is impounded for "safekeeping" then the entire vehicle may be searched " for inventory purposes."
