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 ve-
hicle. 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.
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 dis-
tance 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.
