The NaviDrive system is a voice-activated radio, CD player, telephone, and GPS automotive head unit,[1] assembled in some models of the Citroën C8,[1] Citroën C6, Citroën C5,[2] Citroën C4,[3][4] Citroën C3,[1] and Peugeot vehicles.
Functions
NaviDrive's main functions and characteristics are:
- 7-inch (18 cm) monochrome or color screen
- Complete GPS navigation system
- Radio, CD player with MP3 format and CD changer for 6 CDs
- Integrated GSM dual band handsfree telephone
- Text-to-speech during the reading of SMS messages
- Voice recognition
- Real-time traffic information (RDS-TMC)
Incident response
In certain countries such as France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg, in the case of an accident, NaviDrive sends a text message containing the exact GPS position of the vehicle by pressing a button or when an airbag deploys, followed by a voice call to a special telephonic assistance platform which receives the position and the voice call. The platform determines the kind of urgency (e.g. medical, accident, fire), by asking a few questions and sends the appropriate emergency services to the exact location of the vehicle.
