The app reminds you to turn the car off every 30 minutes tornallow carbon monoxide to dissipate and features other helpful tips to stay warmrnand safe. It can calculate how long your car can keep you warm, and you canrndial 911 from the app if your situation turns critical. I haven’t had to usernthe app in a real situation yet, but having my emergency numbers (and insurancernnumbers) easily accessible through the app means I’ll keep it installed evenrnafter winter ends.
