In this context, it means "begins", "begins working/to happen" or "becomes evident". Here are some more examples: The moment the burglars opened the safe, the bank's alarm system kicked in. I took two painkillers and waited for the paracetamol to kick in. In the third mile of my run, I felt the endorphins kick in.
