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 hereby 
expressly disclaims any liability resulting therefrom. 
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 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. 
VRS
®
 TRIGGERED SEQUENCE 
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 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.
