2150 VehSmart has added a personal remote panic alarm feature to its telematics-based concierge and personal assistance services. Pressing the remote panic button attached to the driver's key chain will notify the VehSmart Call Centre. If the user cannot be immediately reached, staff will notify emergency services help of their location and that they need assistance. This new benefit offers safety protection not only in a vehicle, but in the area around it as well, a safety option that VehSmart claims is new to the market.
