01 Before You Start
Ensure your retail packaging has its factory holographic seal intact.
Each retail box contains: one genuine VaahanSafe exterior/interior vehicle decal, a surface preparation wipe, and an inner activation card containing the single-use activation proof.
Have your vehicle registration number and mobile phone handy.
02 Public QR vs Activation Proof
A fundamental security principle of VaahanSafe is that the public QR printed on the decal CANNOT be used by a stranger to claim or hijack your vehicle.
The public QR is purely an identifier. Activation requires the concealed single-use proof located inside the tamper-evident packaging.
Anyone standing near your car can see and scan the Public QR to view safety information. Only the person holding the physical tamper-evident activation card can connect the decal to an owner account.
03 Activation Steps
Step 1 — Open the package and locate the Activation Card.
Step 2 — Open your phone camera and scan the setup QR printed on the Activation Card, or visit vaahansafe.com/help/activation directly.
Step 3 — Sign in to your existing VaahanSafe account or enter your phone number to create one.
Step 4 — Enter or confirm the activation token displayed on the card.
Step 5 — Select which vehicle in your account you wish to bind, or enter your vehicle number to create a new vehicle profile.
Step 6 — Confirm the binding. The platform establishes an immutable cryptographic link between the decal's public identifier and your vehicle record.
04 What Happens After Activation?
Once successfully bound, the single-use activation token is permanently spent and retired. It can never be used again.
The public QR code instantly becomes active on the global edge resolver network.
You can now proceed to install the decal on your vehicle and configure your emergency contacts.
05 Troubleshooting Retail Activation
• 'Token already claimed': If you purchased a sealed package and the token is reported as claimed, do not install the decal. Return it immediately to the retail merchant or contact VaahanSafe support with your purchase receipt.
• 'Unreadable card QR': If the camera cannot scan the activation QR due to poor lighting or smudging, type the alphanumeric token printed beneath the code directly into vaahansafe.com/help/activation.
• 'Account mismatch': Make sure you are signed in with the phone number you want associated with this vehicle identity.
