Glossary of Terms
Control Unit: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden under-
neath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor
which monitors your vehicle and controls all system functions.
Failsafe ® Starter Kill: An automatic switch controlled by your sys-
tem 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 kill
switch itself fails. Your system has feature-ready circuitry for the
starter kill, however installation may require additional labor.
LED: A red light mounted at a discretionary location inside the
vehicle. It is used to indicate the status of your system.
Transmitter: A hand-held, remote control which operates the var-
ious functions of your system.
Valet ® Switch: A small push button mounted at a discretionary
location inside the vehicle. It is used to override the Failsafe ®
Starter Kill when a transmitter is lost or damaged, or to enter or
exit Valet ® Mode.
