Glossary of Terms
Control Module:
The "brain" of your system. Usually hidden
underneath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the micro-
processor that controls all of your system’s functions.
Starter Kill:
An optional automatic switch controlled by the secu-
rity system that prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking
whenever it is activated. The vehicle is never prevented from
cranking when the system is disarmed, in Valet
®
Mode, or should
the starter kill switch itself fail.
Trigger or Triggered Sequence:
This is what happens when the
alarm of a DEI compatible security system "goes off". The trig-
gered response of the system consists of 30 seconds of siren
sounding and parking light flashing.
