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
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.

Fifteen seconds
after the last door has closed, the in-vehicle LED
will begin flashing. This delay is intended to allow you time to
distance yourself from your vehicle in the event of a carjacking.
Forty-five seconds later
, the siren begins chirping and the park-
ing lights begin flashing. This time could be used to notify au-
thorities 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.
From this point on, when the ignition key is turned off, the VRS
®
will immediately turn on the starter kill. This will prevent the
vehicle from being restarted, thus immobilizing it at that spot.
➜
note:
If the VRS
®
system is armed while operating the vehi-
cle and not disarmed prior to leaving the vehicle, it is still
armed and will trigger the next time the vehicle is driven.
