, CD player, telephone
, and navigation system
(GPS) all in one unit, assembled in Citroën (Citroën C8, C6, C5, C4 and C3) and Peugeots vehicles. It includes a special function for reading back incoming text messages and dedicated buttons for dialling up the emergency
or recovery services (to whom it can indicate the car position).
Its main functions and characteristics are:

telephone
- Text-to-speech (reading of SMS messages)
- Voice recognition ("guide to John",...)
- Real-time traffic information (RDS-TMC)
In certain countries (France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxemburg), in the case of an accident (by pressing a button or automatically when an airbag deploys), this system sends a text message containing the exact GPS position of the vehicle followed by a voice call to a special telephonic assistance platform which receives the position and the voice call. This platform determines the kind of urgency (medical, accident, fire,...) by asking a few questions and sends the appropriate emergency services to the exact location of the vehicle.
