Vehicle Safety
GPS monitoring has become increasingly important and is now essential for both fleet owners and private vehicle users.
The GPS with ignition cut-off feature brings a new level of control over vehicles, significantly enhancing safety and convenience.
Remote Engine Shut-Off: How It Works
The ignition cut-off GPS function allows you to remotely disable the vehicle’s engine by sending a special SMS command directly to the GPS tracker installed in the vehicle.
Communication occurs between the control device — such as the user’s smartphone — and the GPS tracker.
This enables a fast and effective response in various situations, providing an extra layer of security for the vehicle.
Step-by-Step: Installation and Configuration
To use the ignition cut-off feature, the vehicle must be equipped with a GPS tracker that supports engine shut-off.
This device is connected to the vehicle’s electrical system, including the ignition circuit.
When the vehicle owner wants to remotely disable the engine:
A specially formatted SMS command is sent from an authorized phone number to the SIM card number installed in the GPS tracker.
The message contains a unique code or password, set during the device configuration, to prevent unauthorized access.
The GPS tracker verifies the sender’s number and the command password.
Once verified, the tracker activates the ignition cut-off function, sending a signal to the vehicle’s electrical system to disable the ignition circuit.
As a result, the engine stops and cannot be restarted until another SMS command is sent to reactivate it.
For safety reasons, most systems are designed not to shut off the engine while the vehicle is moving, which could create a dangerous situation.
Instead, the engine shut-off activates only when the vehicle is stopped, preventing it from being restarted.
This feature is especially useful in vehicle theft situations, allowing the owner to react quickly and increase the chances of recovering the vehicle before it is damaged or lost.
However, it’s important to use this feature responsibly and comply with local laws related to remote engine control.
