To arm the VRS, press the arm button on the remote while the
vehicle’s ignition is on. Once the system is armed, it will go into its
triggered sequence (see below) if any door is opened and closed. If
you are forced from the vehicle, the VRS system will trigger when
the door is opened and then closed as you leave the vehicle. This
is how the system works to combat intersection carjacking. If ordered
from the vehicle, you may arm the VRS before exiting. Arming prior
to that point, however, is highly recommended. To protect against
parking lot carjacking, simply arm the system before leaving the
vehicle. The system will now trigger automatically the next time
anyone drives the vehicle. This helps protect the vehicle if
someone takes your keys and remote by force in a parking lot.
NOTE
: If the system is armed while driving 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 allows you time to
distance yourself from your vehicle in the event of a carjacking.
■
Forty-five seconds later, the Soft Chirp® Revenger® siren will
begin chirping and the parking lights will 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 out-
put will change to a continuous blast.
