This mode is used to deactivate alarm permanently when you take your vehicle in for servicing for
example.
Valet switch activates Valet Mode or terminates alarm condition when your
remote
control is not available (lost, batteries dead, etc.).
This switch must be installed in a hidden place known only to regular users of the
vehicle.
Ask your installer to tell you where it is.

Notes:
If you perform both sequences one after the other, you need to pause for 3 seconds between the two
sequences.
Valet Mode is automatically deactivated when key is turned to the "ON" position and/or engine is remote-
started for the tenth time. This is to prevent Valet Mode from being left on for long periods of time.
GLOSSARY
S
IREN
Siren has six different sounds, i.e., it chirps repeatedly and has six different melodies. It chirps
intermittently (short repeated chirps) during a pre-alarm and continuously during an alarm condition.
It can confirm arm and disarm commands with short chirps; see table in CONFIRMATION section. This
function is programmable as active or inactive during installation.
H
ORN
Horn beeps intermittently (short repeated beeps) during an alarm condition.
This function is optional and may require the installation of additional material. Ask your installer for more
details.
P
ARKING LIGHTS
Parking lights flash intermittently (repeated flashes) during a pre-alarm and alarm condition. Parking lights
also confirm that commands have been received.
See table in CONFIRMATION section.
V
IOLATION
Violation means a situation that causes a protection zone to generate an alarm condition; example: a door
was opened, etc.
D
OME LIGHT DURATION
The system turns vehicle dome light on for 30 seconds upon unlocking command (not applicable in "semi-
passive rearming" mode).
In "passive rearming" mode, system ignores the "Door" zone while dome light is on, which prolongs
rearming cycle by 30 seconds.
On some vehicles, dome light may remain on after all doors have been closed. If this option applies to your
vehicle, rearming cycle is prolonged by the number of seconds during which dome light is kept on by
vehicle's factory system.
Special condition
If during dome light duration, a "Lock" command is sent while a door is opened, system arms and ignores
door violation; if door is still open 45 seconds after dome light duration ends, system recognizes door
violation and changes to alarm condition.
