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.
