To disarm VRS (after the siren has begun chirping):
1. Turn the ignition to the ON position.
2. Press and release the Valet/Program switch the selected number of times
programmed in Step 2-5. (See System Features Learn Routine section of this
guide.)
NOTE: For a detailed explanation to the VRS triggered sequence, refer to the Vehicle Recovery
System section of the Owner's Guide.
False Alarm Control Technology (FACT)
FACT requires that you change the way you test the system as FACT will bypass an input zone for
60 minutes. If the system "sees" the same zone trigger three times and the triggers are spaced less
than an hour apart, the system will bypass that input zone for 60 minutes. If that zone does not
attempt to trigger the system during the 60-minute bypass period, the zone's monitoring will begin
again at the end of the hour. If it does attempt to trigger while bypassed, the 60-minute bypass starts
over again.
Disarming and rearming the system does not reset FACT. The only way to reset FACT is for the 60
minutes to pass, without a trigger, or for the ignition to be turned on. This allows the system to be
repeatedly triggered, disarmed and rearmed, and still allow FACT to bypass a faulty zone.
When disarming the system, 5 chirps indicate FACT is activated. The LED will report the zone that
has been bypassed. (See Table of Zones section of this guide.)

Troubleshooting

Starter kill does not work.
➤ ➤
Is the correct starter wire being interrupted? If the car starts when the starter kill relay is
completely disconnected, the wrong starter wire has been cut and interrupted.
➤ ➤ Yellow wire is not connected to true ignition. It is connected to an accessory circuit.
