Control Unit: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden underneath
the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor which mon-
itors your vehicle and controls all system functions.
Starter Kill: An automatic switch controlled by your system which pre-
vents the vehicle’s starter from cranking whenever the system is acti-
vated. The vehicle is never prevented from cranking when the system is
deactivated, in override 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.
LED: A blue light mounted at a discretionary location inside the vehi-
cle. It is used to indicate the status of your system.
Remote: A hand-held, remote control which operates the various
functions of your system.
Override Switch: A small push-button mounted at a discrete location
inside the vehicle. It is used to override the Starter Kill when a remote
is lost or damaged, or to enter or exit override mode.
