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 if

someone takes your keys and remote transmitter by force in a

parking lot.

NOTE: If the VRS

system is armed while operating the vehicle and not

disarmed prior to leaving the vehicle, it is still armed and will trigger the
next time the vehicle is driven.

Fifteen seconds after the last door has closed, the system’s status LED

will begin flashing. This delay is intended to allow you time to dis-

tance yourself from your vehicle in the event of a carjacking.

Forty-five seconds later, the siren begins chirping and the parking

lights begin flashing. This time could be used to notify authorities

that your vehicle has been hijacked, and tell them what the VRS

will do next.
