2-Way Remote

: Hand-held, 2-way transceiver which operates the

various functions of your system.

Control Unit:

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

neath the dash area of the vehicle. The control unit houses the

microprocessor which monitors your vehicle and controls all

system functions.

Failsafe

Starter Kill:

An automatic switch controlled by your

system that 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 interrupt switch itself fails. Your system has feature-ready

circuitry for the starter interrupt, however installation may

require additional labor.

Input:

A physical connection to the system. An input can be

provided by the hood pinswitch or ignition.

Status LED:

A light mounted at a discretionary location inside

the vehicle. It is used to indicate the status of your system.

Valet

Button:

A small push-button switch mounted at a discre-

tionary location inside the vehicle. It is used to override the

starter interrupt when a 2-way remote is lost or damaged, or to

enter or exit Valet

Mode.
