UltraSecure™ valet mode 

Your secret valet code 

Within seconds, thieves can disable all other alarm brands by hot-wiring the ignition and
flicking an easy to find “hidden” valet switch. Your SuperNova has safeguards that
absolutely ensure that a thief cannot enable the valet mode as a way of “turning off” your
system. How? To enable valet mode, the driver must first enter a secret valet code on the
PlainView switch. Your code will be a 1-to-3-digit number of your choosing. Each digit
can be any number from 1 to 9, (i.e. the code can be any number between 1 and 999,
except those that contain a zero).

Whenever the system is put in valet mode, all of the system’s security features are
switched off. At various times, you will need to turn the system off. For instance, when
having your car serviced, washed or parked by a valet.

NOTE: If you temporarily lose the use of your remote controls, you can disarm
the system by enabling valet mode.

Definitions 

Digit:

A digit is defined as any number from 1 to 9, inclusive.

Valet code:

A valet code may be 1 to 3 digits:

A one-digit code = X = any number between 1-9
A two-digit code = XY = any number between 11-99 (excluding numbers with

zeros)

A three-digit code = XYZ = any number between 111-999 (excluding numbers

with zeros)

Remember, no code can have a zero.

PlainView switch:

A rocker switch mounted on your car’s dashboard or console.

The switch has three positions: 1.) Latched  2.) Center  3.) Spring-loaded
momentary.
 When you press the latched side, the switch remains in its pressed
position. When you press the momentary side, the switch bounces back to the
center position.

Entering a digit:

To enter a digit, you tap (press and release) on the momentary

side of the PlainView switch the number of times corresponding to the
numeral of the digit to be entered, followed by pressing to the latched side,
then returning the switch to its center position.

Entering a code:

If your code has only one digit, enter the code as described in

“Entering a digit,” then return the switch to its center position. If your code
has more than one digit, just repeat the above for each digit of your code, then
return the switch to its center position.

Currently, your factory-set valet code is the single digit “2.”
