Glossary of Terms Control Unit: The "brain" of your system. Usually hidden underneath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor which monitors your vehicle and controls all system functions. Failsafe® Starter Kill: An automatic switch controlled by your 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 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 red light mounted at a discretionary location inside the vehicle. It is used to indicate the status of your system. Transmitter: A hand-held, remote control which operates the various functions of your system. Valet Button: A small push button mounted at a discretionary location inside the vehicle. It is used to override the Failsafe® Starter Kill when a transmitter is lost or damaged, or to enter or exit Valet Mode. 20 © 2005 Directed Electronics-all rights reserved
