21. Starting with the adjustment knob in approximately the halfway position, lower the driver's window
and exit the vehicle.
22. Press the LOCK button on the vehicle's RKE fob to arm the VSS system. The LED will light solid
for 20 seconds and then begin to flash a steady on/off sequence to indicate the system is armed.
23. Using a closed fist, impact the steering wheel with moderate force to simulate a light impact on the
vehicle. If the impact is detected, the horn will honk and the lights will flash 1 time to indicate the
warning impact was detected.
24. Using a closed fist, impact the steering wheel with heavy force to simulate a hard impact (i.e. glass
breakage) on the vehicle. If the impact is detected, the horn will honk and the lights will flash a
steady on off sequence to indicate the heavy or full shock trigger was detected.
25. Increase (rotate clockwise) or decrease (rotate counter-clockwise) the adjustment knob as necessary
to achieve desired sensitivity, repeat the previous steps to test, and verify adjustment.
