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 run-
ning. 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 when it is running is contrary to the product’s design and
intended usage, and DEI

hereby expressly disclaims any liability
resulting therefrom.
To arm the VRS
®
, turn the ignition to the ON position and press
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 ini-
tiate 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 car-
jacking, 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 but not
disarmed prior to leaving the vehicle, it is still armed and will trigger the
next time the vehicle is driven.
