PSA/Peugeot-Citroen has introduced an emergency-call function in its cars that it says could save hundreds of lives a year.
The free SOS feature is part of PSA's latest satellite navigation system, which is called RT3 on Peugeot cars and Navidrive on Citroen models. It includes a safety button on the dashboard, which, when pressed, connects a car's occupants with a 24-hour call center.
Other carmakers have offered the emergency-call service as part of their navigation systems, but have charged monthly fees for it.
