Arming the VRS
®
To arm the VRS
®
, push the button once. This can be done before driving or
while driving the vehicle. 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 system will trigger as the door will be opened and closed as
you leave the vehicle. This is how the system works to combat intersection
carjacking. If ordered from the vehicle, you may press the VRS
®
button before
exiting. Arming prior to that point, however, is highly recommended.
To protect against parking lot carjacking, simply press the VRS
®
button once
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 alarm remote by force in a parking lot.
NOTE: If the VRS
®
is armed while operating the vehicle and not disarmed prior to leaving the
vehicle, it remains armed and will trigger the next time the vehicle is driven.
VRS
®
Trigger Sequence
Fifteen seconds after the last door has closed, the system's
Status LED will begin flashing. This delay is to allow you to put
distance between yourself and your vehicle in the event of a
carjacking.
NOTE: If the system is in Valet
®
Mode, the VRS
®
feature will still protect your vehicle. However,
the Status LED will not provide this first-level indication if the VRS
®
triggers with the system in
Valet
®
Mode.
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 output
will change to a continuous blast.
Fifteen seconds after the siren chirps begin, the siren’s out-
put will change to a continuous blast.
