A vehicular system, and respective method, for sending a silent request for assistance when driving under duress comprises a data communication module 306, an identi­fication detector 302 and a decision unit 304. The decision unit determines a condition during ignition of an engine based on one or more biometric data inputs received through the identification detector. If the condition during ignition is determined as under normal circumstances, the decision unit commands ignition of engine and user's preferred settings, if any. If the condition during ignition is determined as under duress, the decision unit commands ignition of engine and user's preferred settings, and the data commu­nication module to send a notification to an external party simultaneously. The driver may register different biometric identifiers to the system, such as at least two different fingerprints and a facial image under normal conditions. A first fingerprint may be input, and recognised, under normal circumstances, while the input of a second, different, fingerprint may indicate the duress condition to the system. The duress condition can be confirmed via facial recognition, with the captured facial image not matching the stored facial image under normal circumstances.
