Arming the vrs – Directed Electronics Matrix1X User Manual

Page 43

Directed has engineered this vehicle security system, the Failsafe

Starter Kill, and the VRS feature to provide the best combina-

tion 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 oper-

ation. It is unlike other systems that shut down your engine

while it is running. This system is designed to perform starter in-

terrupt, 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.

Arming the VRS

To arm the VRS, turn the ignition to the ON position and press

the arm button on the remote transmitter for one second. The

parking lights will flash and the siren will chirp once. This can be

done before driving or while driving the vehicle. Once the system

is armed, it will initiate 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 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 ve-

hicle. The system will now trigger automatically the next time

you or anyone drives the vehicle. This helps to protect the vehicle
