- At the end of the Panic cycle the system will reset, enter the armed state, and lock the
doors*
*The door lock interface must be installed. If the vehicle has been configured for Driver’s Door Priority, Panic will unlock the
driver’s door.
1-2.4.9 Easy Valet Mode
Easy Valet Mode: This allows you to turn off all of the “alarm” operations of the security system while
retaining the remote convenience features such as Keyless Entry, Panic, and the Auxiliary Outputs.
The system may only be placed into Easy Valet when it’s disarmed; if armed, an Emergency Override
must be performed before placing into Easy Valet Mode. Once the system is in Easy Valet Mode, it
cannot become armed from the transmitter, Last Door Arming, or Automatic Rearming.
Although both use the Valet Switch, Easy Valet Mode and Emergency Override are two similar, but
different procedures. Emergency Override disarms an armed and activated system, and requires the
ignition key. Easy Valet Mode turns off the alarm operations of the disarmed system, but without the
need of the ignition key.
Easy Valet mode is designed for situations in which it is not convenient for the security portion of the
system to be operational. For example, during extended stopovers for vehicle servicing, maintenance,
valet parking, washing, etc.
The Valet Switch is in the Status Indicator Light/Valet Switch Assembly. The installed has the option
of utilizing an additional, separate Valet Switch should mounting in a hidden location be desired.
Please become familiar with the location of the Easy Valet Switch.

the vehicle’s ignition is turned off.
To Exit “Easy Valet” Mode:
Press and release the valet switch.
•
The Status Indicator Light will turn off to confirm exit from Easy Valet mode.
1-2.4.10 Status Indicator Light
The red Status Indicator Light visually confirms the status of the system and provides a high level of
visual deterrence. Additionally, the Status Indicator Light is also part of the patented Automatic
Transmitter Verification feature and the Alarm Condition Memory Recall feature. The Status Indicator
Light, which shares a housing assembly with the Valet Switch, is normally mounted in a location
where it can be easily seen by the driver, as well as from outside the vehicle.
Security System Status: The primary function of the Status Indicator Light is to indicate the status of
the security system:
1.
Off = The system is disarmed and not performing automatic functions.
2. On Constant = The system is in the Easy Valet Mode .
3. Flashing Slow = The system is fully armed.
4. Flashing Fast = Last Door Arming or Automatic Rearming is in progress.
Automatic Transmitter Verification: For the first 10 seconds after the vehicle’s ignition is turned on,
the Status Indicator Light will flash a number of times equal to the number of transmitters that are
capable of operating the system:
