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.
