Ensure that the location you pick for this switch has sufficient clearance to the rear. The switch should be well
hidden. It should be placed so that passengers or stored items (such as items placed in a glove box or center
console) cannot accidentally bump it. The switch fits in a 9 /
32
-inch hole.
IMPORTANT! When the vehicle is delivered, please show the user where the Valet®/Program switch
is located and how to disarm the system using the switch.
Things to remember when positioning the status LED:
■ It should be visible from both sides and the rear of the vehicle, if possible.
■ It needs at least 1 /
2
-inch clearance to the rear.
■ It is easiest to use a small removable panel, such as a switch blank or a dash bezel. Remove it before drilling
your 9 /
32
-inch hole.
■ Use quick-disconnects near the LED wires if the panel is removable. This lets mechanics or other installers
remove the panel without having to cut the wires.
