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.

by a sensor, pinswitch or through an existing system in the vehicle, such

as ignition or courtesy lights.

cate the status of your system. It is also used to report triggers and

faults in the system or sensors.

to pick up impacts to the vehicle or glass.

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.
