Valet/program switch

IMPORTANT! When the vehicle is delivered, please show the user where this

switch is located and how to disarm the system with it.

Ensure that the location you pick for the switch has sufficient clearance to the

rear. The switch should be well hidden. It should be placed so passengers or

stored items (such as in a glove box or center console) cannot accidentally hit it.

The switch fits into a 9/32-inch hole.

This system has Remote Valet. The user can enter and exit Valet Mode without

having to reach the Valet/Program switch. This feature was introduced so that

switch location was less critical in day-to-day use. As long as the Valet/Program

switch can be reached to disarm without a transmitter, easy access is not im-

portant.
