UltraSecure™ Coded Valet Mode
Your secret valet code
In seconds, thieves can disable all other alarm brands by hotwiring the ignition and
flicking an easy to find “hidden” valet switch. Your system has safeguards that absolutely
ensure a thief cannot enable the valet mode as a way of “turning off” your system. How?
To enable valet mode, the driver must first enter a secret valet code on the PlainView
switch. If a thief tries guessing your code, after three incorrect entries, the siren will
sound and the system will not accept any further entries for two minutes. Your code will
be a 1-to-3-digit number of your choosing. Each digit can be any number from 1 to 9,
(i.e. the code can be any number between 1 and 999, except those that contain a zero).
Whenever the system is in valet mode, it overrides the AutoArming feature (see page
13) and all the security features are turned off. At various times, you will need to switch
the system off. For instance, when having your car serviced, washed or parked by a valet.
Your factory-set valet code is the single digit “2.”
NOTE: If you temporarily lose the use of your remote controls, you can disarm
the system by enabling valet mode.
Definitions
Digit: A digit is defined as any number from 1 to 9, inclusive.
Valet code: A valet code may be 1 to 3 digits:
A one-digit code=X=any number between 1-9
A two-digit code=XY=any number between 11-99 (excluding those with zeros)
A three-digit code=XYZ=any number between 111-999 (excluding those with zeros)
Remember, no code can have a zero.
PlainView switch: A rocker switch mounted on the dashboard or console. The
switch has three positions: 1.) Latched 2.) Center 3.) Spring-loaded momentary.
When you press the latched side, the switch remains in its pressed position. When
you press the momentary side, the switch bounces back to the center position.
Entering a digit: To enter a digit, you tap (press and release) on the momentary
side of the PlainView switch the number of times corresponding to the numeral of
the digit to be entered, followed by pressing to the latched side, then returning the
switch to its center position.
Entering a code: If your code has only one digit, enter the code as described in
“Entering a digit.” If your code has more than one digit, just repeat the above for
each digit of your code.
To enable valet mode
1. Turn the ignition switch to its “ON” position or start the engine.
2. Enter your secret valet code on the PlainView switch, then return the switch to its
center position.
3. You now have 5 seconds to press the latched position to enter valet mode. The
system’s LED will glow continually for on-going visual confirmation of valet mode.
