Quick Reference
When servicing or loaning your vehicle to others, the system should be in Valet mode. Valet mode prevents the system from remote starting and
disables all alarm functions.
IMPORTANT: While in Valet mode the remote will still control power lock and unlock systems. The parking lights will not flash.
The system can be put into valet one of three ways:
1. Turn the vehicle’s key to the ignition “on” position and tap buttons simultaneously for 0.5 seconds. The parking lights
will flash once and/or siren chirp once to confirm the system is in valet mode. Repeat this process to take the system out of valet mode.
The parking lights will flash twice and/or siren chirp once to confirm the system is out of valet mode.
2. If you don’t have your remote control, you can put the system into valet by turning the ignition key “on” and then “off” five times within 7
seconds. The parking lights will flash once to confirm the system is in valet mode. Shortly after the first flash, the parking lights will flash twice. A
remote control is required to take the system out of valet mode. IMPORTANT: If your system is set up for a secure valet option, you will not be able
to put the system into valet until the proper code has been entered to the secure valet switch.
3. If your system is set up with the secure valet switch (optional), you will not be able to put the system into valet until the proper code has been
entered to the secure valet switch. The secure valet switch is the small button with bright blue LED on the front and if installed is the only way to
override the alarm and/or remote start. The default code is (3, 3).

The only regular maintenance this system requires is remote control battery replacement. No programming is required when replacing
the battery.
First, remove the small Phillips screw located on the back of the remote. Once the screw has been removed, gently pull the remote apart taking care
to not damage the circuit board. 1 Way remote batteries differ among the models. Your battery size should be listed on the battery. Replacements
can be purchased from your local Firstech dealer or an electronics store.
