Control Unit:
The "brain" of your system. Usually hidden underneath the
dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor which monitors
your vehicle and controls all system functions.
Failsafe® Starter Kill:
An optional automatic switch controlled by your
system which prevents the vehicle's starter from cranking whenever the
system is locked. The vehicle is never prevented from cranking when
the system is unlocked, 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 and parts.

Remote control:
A hand-held device which operates the various func-
tions of your system.
Valet Button:
A small push button mounted at a discretionary location
inside the vehicle. It is used to override the Failsafe Starter Kill when a
®
remote control is lost or damaged.
