Something this simple can help save lives.

Meet Rescue AssistSM— the first-ever use of QR codes to help passengers and first responders stay safe.

At the scene of an accident, first responders may not have access to a vehicle’s structural information, which can be hazardous. This is no longer an issue thanks to Rescue AssistSM. With just a scan of a QR code that is located inside of the fuel filler cap and the opposing B pillar – two points on the vehicle which have been statistically proven to remain almost undamaged in most accidents. Emergency services personnel can quickly locate batteries, airbags, and other structural elements needed to perform a safe rescue.

All that ensures the best information and saves valuable time when every second counts in an emergency.
