VEHICLE RECOVERY SYSTEM
®
INSTALLATION
To install the optional VRS
®
feature, the 8618 starter kill relay must be installed. Mount the button in a well-hidden
location and plug it into the red VRS
®
port on the control unit. Make sure it cannot be pressed accidentally. The switch
must be placed where it can be reached from the driver's seat. Make sure that the customer is aware of the location
of the button and is familiar with the VRS
®
triggered sequence. This will ensure that the customer does not become
stranded by the VRS
®
.
IMPORTANT: If the VRS
®
button is being installed, you must enable the VRS
®
. Refer to Operation Settings
Learn Routine
™
section on page 18.
A few minutes are required to test the VRS
®
. To test:
Open the Owner's Guide to Vehicle Recovery System
®
section. The triggered
sequence is described in detail.
Press and release the VRS
®
push-button switch, with a door open.
Turn on the ignition and close all the doors.
Wait 15 seconds. The Status LED will begin flashing. This will be followed by chirps
and flashing lights, then by constant siren, in timed progressions described in the
Owner's Guide.
The starter kill will be turned on via the orange wire: A) if the ignition is turned off
after the chirps have stopped; or B) as soon as the siren progresses to constant
output.
IMPORTANT!: You must make sure that all users of the vehicle know how to dis
arm the VRS
®
. Remember that the remote does not affect the VRS
®
, so make sure
the user can distinguish the standard triggered response from that of the VRS
®
.
