AstroStart Security System VSS-113 - Manual (Page 15)

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.
Note: If the VRS ® system is armed while operating the vehicle and not disarmed prior
to leaving the vehicle, it is still armed and will trigger the next time the vehicle is driven.
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 parking lights begin flashing. This time
could be used to notify authorities that your vehicle has been hijacked, and tell them what the
VRS ® will do next.
Fifteen seconds after the siren chirps begin, the siren’s output will change to a continuous blast.
From this point on, when the ignition key is turned off, the VRS ® will immediately turn on the
starter kill. This will prevent the vehicle from being restarted, thus immobilizing it at that spot.
Three minutes after the constant siren output begins, the flashing parking lights and the siren will
stop. The starter kill will remain active until the system is disarmed. If the door is opened or the
ignition is turned off and on in an attempt to restart the car, the siren and light flashing will begin
again.
D
ISARMING THE
VRS ®
Take the time to familiarize yourself with the VRS ® triggering sequence and the disarm procedure.
It is important to recognize and identify the VRS ® trigger sequence and know how to disarm it in
case of accidental activation.
Once the VRS ® is armed, it does not disarm automatically. You must disarm it the next time you
operate the vehicle. You must disarm it with one of the following procedures:
If the system has not entered the triggered sequence (siren has not started chirping):
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Press on the transmitter for one second.
The lights will flash and the siren will chirp twice.
