Remote vehicle immobilization, also known as remote engine cut-off, lets an authorised operator prevent a vehicle from being restarted after a theft or unauthorised-use event. It is designed to support recovery and fleet control while avoiding unsafe intervention while a vehicle is moving.
Remote immobilization is included in our KH Emerald, KH Ruby and KH Diamond packages from R229 p/m, and can be discussed with our team for personal or business tracking needs.
Provides an effective measure against vehicle theft.
Prevent unauthorized use or theft of the vehicle.
Enhances the security of vehicles.

For businesses with vehicle fleets.
Immobilize vehicles remotely in case of unauthorized use, non-payment of dues, or other security concerns.
Controlled intervention.
Immobilization commands take effect safely, typically once the vehicle is stationary or ignition is switched off, helping prevent unsafe engine cut-off while driving.
Assists in recovery efforts.
By preventing restart after a theft event, it can help authorised responders locate and recover the vehicle more effectively.
Discounts or incentives.
Reduced risk of theft and improved recovery rates can support better insurance outcomes.
Remote vehicle immobilization uses installed tracking hardware and an authorised command from the platform or support process. The command is intended to prevent the vehicle from being started again once it is safe to do so, rather than abruptly cutting power while the vehicle is travelling.
In a theft or unauthorised-use case, the priority is to confirm the event, locate the vehicle, and coordinate a safe recovery response. Exact behaviour depends on the installed hardware, vehicle configuration and service setup, so activation rules should be confirmed with K Holdings before publishing operational promises.
