Glossary of terms

2-Way Remote: A hand-held, remote control which operates the various func-
tions of your system and receives feedback and pages from the system.
Control Center: The control center contains the system's radio-frequency antenna,
the valet and override switch, and the Status LED. For maximum remote-control
range, the Control Center is usually located at the top of the windshield, cen-
tered near the rear-view mirror.
Control Module: 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 of the system's functions.
Failsafe® Starter Kill (if equipped): An automatic switch controlled by the 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 should the starter kill switch fail. Your system is ready for this
feature, however installation of this feature may require additional labor.
Input: Any physical connection to the system. An input can be provided by exist-
ing systems in the vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights.
In-vehicle status LED: A light used to indicate the status of your system. It is
located on your systems control center.
Valet Button: A small push button switch located on your systems control center. It
is used to override the starter interrupt when a 2-way remote is lost or damaged,
or to enter or exit Valet Mode.
