Control Module : The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden under-

neath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor which

monitors your vehicle and controls all of the alarm’s functions.

Failsafe

Starter Kill : An automatic switch controlled by the system

which prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking whenever the system

is armed. The vehicle is never prevented from cranking when the sys-

tem is disarmed, in Valet

Mode, or should the starter kill switch itself

fail. Your system is ready for this feature, however installation of this

feature may require additional labor.

Integrated LED/Valet

Switch: A small push-button switch with an

integrated Red LED mounted somewhere in the vehicle. The switch is

used to override the alarm when a transmitter is lost or damaged, or to

put it into Valet

Mode. The LED indicates the status of your system. It

is also used to report triggers and faults in the system or sensors. This

switch is also used to program optional features.
