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