glossary of terms
Control Unit: The "brain" of your system. Usually hidden under the
dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor which monitors
your vehicle and controls all of the system's functions.
Starter Kill: An automatic switch controlled by the security system
which prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking whenever the system
is armed. The vehicle is never prevented from cranking when the sys-
tem is disarmed, in valet mode, or should the starter interrupt switch
itself fail. Your system is ready for this feature, however installation may
require additional labor.
Input: A physical connection to the system. An input can be provided
by a sensor, pinswitch or through an existing system in the vehicle, such
as ignition or courtesy lights.
LED: Blue light mounted somewhere in the vehicle. It is used to indi-
cate the status of your system. It is also used to report triggers and
faults in the system or sensors.
Shock Sensor: This is a sensor mounted in the vehicle that is designed
to pick up impacts to the vehicle or glass.
Siren: Noise generating device usually installed in the engine compart-
nnoottee:: If the Anti-Carjacking system has begun its chirping
sequence, the ignition must be turned off, then on to disarm. If
you are driving the vehicle at the time, pull to a safe place away
from traffic and follow the triggered sequence disarm procedure.
