Glossary of terms
Control Unit: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden under the dash area of the vehicle. It
houses the microprocessor that monitors your vehicle and controls all system functions.
LED: A light mounted at a discretionary location inside the vehicle. It is used to indicate the status
of your system.
Starter Interrupt: An automatic switch controlled by your system which prevents the vehicle’s
starter from cranking whenever the system is armed. The vehicle is never prevented from cranking
when the system is disarmed, in Valet Mode, or if the starter interrupt switch itself fails. Your
system has feature-ready circuitry for the starter interrupt, however installation may require
additional labour.
Transmitter: A hand-held, remote control which operates the various functions of your system.
Valet Switch: A small button mounted at a discretionary location inside the vehicle. It is used to
override the system when a transmitter is lost or damaged, or to enter or exit Valet ® Mode.
Convenience expansions
Listed below are some of the many expansion options available for use with your system. Some
options may require additional parts and/or labour. Please consult with your dealer for a
complete list of options available for use with this system.
Dome light Supervision: The dome light will illuminate for 30 seconds each time the system is
unlocked using the remote. This is useful for seeing inside the vehicle at night prior to entering it.
Power Door Lock Control: Your system is capable of controlling many types of power door lock
systems; however, some door lock systems may require extra parts. Consult with your dealer to
determine which type of locks your vehicle uses. The system can be programmed to lock the
doors when the ignition is turned on and to unlock them when the ignition is turned off.
Power Trunk Release: The system’s auxiliary output can be programmed to operate a factory
power release for the vehicle's trunk or hatch.
Progressive Door Unlocking: For added security, your system can be configured to unlock the
driver’s door only, leaving the passenger doors locked. Pressing the unlock button an additional
time will unlock the passenger doors. This option requires additional parts and labour.
