Glossary of terms

regardless of whether or not the alarm is armed. If AED is programmed on, the starter of the

vehicle will be disabled 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off.

houses the microprocessor which monitors your vehicle and controls all of the system’s functions.

Fail-Safe Starter Kill: An automatic switch controlled by the security 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 should the starter interrupt switch itself

fail. Your system is ready for this feature, however installation may require additional labour.

through an existing system in the vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights.
