Glossary of Terms

Control Unit: The "brain" of your system. Usually hidden under-
neath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor
that monitors your vehicle and controls all the system's functions.
FailSafe ® Starter Kill: An automatic switch controlled by the
system which prevents the vehicle's starter from cranking whenev-
er the system is armed. The vehicle is never prevented from crank-
ing when the system is disarmed, in Valet ® Mode, or should the
starter kill switch itself fail. Your system is ready for this feature,
however installation may require additional labor.
Input: A physical connection to the system. An input can be
provided by a sensor, pinswitch or to existing systems in the vehi-
cle, such as ignition or courtesy lights.
LED: Red light mounted somewhere in the vehicle. It is used to
indicate the status of your system. It is also used to report
triggers and faults in the system or sensors.
