Starter Kill, and the VRS
®
feature to provide the best combination of
personal safety and property protection available. When properly
installed, the system can never inadvertently stop your vehicle in
traffic or on railroad tracks while the vehicle is in operation. It is unlike
other systems that shut down your engine while it is running. This sys-
tem is designed to perform starter interrupt, or starter kill. The
Failsafe
®
Starter Kill cannot shut down an already-running engine – it
can only prevent an engine from starting in the first place.
arming the vrs
®
To arm the VRS
®
, turn the ignition to the ON position and press the arm
button on the 2-way remote 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 trig-
gered 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 2-way remote by force in a
parking lot.
