Stereo or sensor on/off: The system provides outputs that can be used to
turn your stereo or a sensor on and off via the remote transmitter.
Vehicle Recovery System
®
(VRS)
The optional Vehicle Recovery System feature is designed to ensure that any
unauthorized user of your vehicle (even if using your keys and remote control)
will not be able to permanently separate you from your vehicle.
The VRS feature cannot prevent a carjacking attempt, however, it does
ensure that if your vehicle is taken by an unauthorized user, it will be disabled
(after several progressive warnings) as safely as possible. Should a carjacking
occur, the VRS allows you to concern yourself with your personal safety without
worrying about your property.
DEI
®
has engineered this vehicle security system, the FailSafe
®
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, on railroad tracks, etc., unlike any
system that shuts down your engine while it is running. This system 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.
Any installation which allows this product to shut down a vehicle’s engine as
it is running is contrary to the product’s design and intended usage, and DEI
®
hereby expressly disclaims any liability resulting therefrom.
The optional Vehicle Recovery System is armed and disarmed using a hidden
push button switch. If the system has been installed, make sure you are aware
of the location of the VRS button.
