neath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor

which monitors your vehicle and controls all of the alarm's functions.

whenever the system is armed. The vehicle is never prevented from

cranking when the system is disarmed, in valet mode, or should

the starter kill switch itself fail. Your system is ready for this fea-

labor.
