In case of emergency

When something extraordinary happens, the driver can send a clear and unmistakeable request for assistance. Having this service installed is an extra level of security for drivers and passengers, and a source of reassurance for the owner who will be immediately notified if a vehicles security is compromised. The request is sent to your office, but can also be forwarded to a third party, a security partner or even the police.
