Installation options
The system has many options that may require extra parts and labor. Some of the possibilities are
listed here.
Progressive unlocking: In most cars with electric power door locks, the system can be
configured so that when the system is disarmed, only the driver’s door unlocks. A second

Vehicle Recovery System (VRS
®
): VRS
®
is an anti-carjacking device designed to help in the safe
recovery of your vehicle in case of a carjacking. Please refer to the Vehicle Recovery System
section of this guide for a complete explanation of how the Vehicle Recovery System
operates.
Vehicle recovery system (VRS
®
)
The optional VRS
®
feature is designed to ensure that any unauthorized user of your vehicle (even
if using your keys and remote control) will not be able to permanently separate you from your
vehicle.
The VRS
®
cannot prevent a carjacking attempt; however, it does ensure that if your vehicle is
taken by an unauthorized user, it will be disabled (after several progressive warnings) as safely as
possible. Should a carjacking occur, the VRS
®
allows you to concern yourself with your personal
safety without worrying about your property.
Astroflex Electronics has engineered this vehicle security system, the Failsafe
®
Starter Kill, and the
VRS
®
feature to provide the best combination of personal safety and property protection
available. When properly installed, the system can never inadvertently stop your vehicle in traffic
or on railroad tracks while the vehicle is in operation. It is unlike other systems that shut down
your engine while it is running. This system is designed to perform starter interrupt, or starter kill.
The Failsafe
®
Starter Kill cannot shut down an already-running engine – it can only prevent an
engine from starting in the first place.
Important! Any installation that allows this product to shut down a vehicle’s
engine when it is running is contrary to the product’s design and intended, usage
and Astroflex Electronics hereby expressly disclaims any liability resulting there from.
