arming the vrs ®
To arm the VRS ® , turn the ignition to the ON position and press
the arm button on the remote transmitter for one second. The
parking lights will flash and the siren will chirp once. This can be
done before driving or while driving the vehicle. Once the system
is armed, it will initiate its triggered sequence (see below) if any
door is opened and closed. If you are forced from the vehicle, the
system will trigger as the door is opened and closed. This is how
the system works to combat intersection carjacking. To protect
against parking lot carjacking, arm the VRS ® before leaving the
vehicle. The system will now trigger automatically the next time
you or anyone drives the vehicle. This helps to protect the vehicle
if someone takes your keys and remote transmitter by force in a
parking lot.
vrs ® triggered sequence
Fifteen seconds after the last door has closed, the system’s status
LED will begin flashing. This delay is intended to allow you time to
distance yourself from your vehicle in the event of a carjacking.
Forty-five seconds later , the siren begins chirping and the park-
ing lights begin flashing. This time could be used to notify au-
thorities that your vehicle has been hijacked, and tell them what
the VRS ® will do next.
➜
note: If the VRS® system is armed while operating the vehi-
cle and not disarmed prior to leaving the vehicle, it is still
armed and will trigger the next time the vehicle is driven.
