To exit valet mode
1. Turn the ignition switch to its “ON” position or start the engine.
2. Flick the switch back to its center position. The LED will turn off to confirm that the
system is now in its normal operating mode.
Setting your own secret valet code
Since all XL Series systems have the same factory-set code, it is highly advisable that
you set your own valet code. You may choose any 1-, 2-, or 3-digit code that does not
have any zeros. You can also change your valet code whenever you want. Simply write
down the 1-to-3 digit code you wish to use (remember, no zeros in the code), then refer
to the User-selectable features section on pages 20-24.
Example
Let’s say you want to set your valet code to 31. To do so, you would do the following:
1. From the Table of user-selectable features on pages 23 and 24, you would note that
the “set a new secret valet code” feature is in column 3, row 5.
2. Enter program mode by turning on the ignition, entering your current valet code, then
pressing the PlainView switch to its momentary side for 3 seconds until you hear a chirp.
3. Select column 3 by moving the switch between latched and center 3 times, i.e.:
latched, center, latched, center, latched, center. After a brief pause, you will hear 3
chirps to confirm that you have selected feature column 3.
4. Select row 5 by pressing and releasing the momentary side of the switch 5 times. To
help you count, you will hear a chirp each time you press the momentary side.
5. Immediately flip the switch to the latched position.
6. Enter you new code. To enter 31 as your new code, you would press the switch in
this manner: momentary, momentary, momentary, latched (you’ll hear 3 chirps to
confirm the first digit), momentary, latched (1 chirp to confirm the second digit), center.
7. Wait 3 seconds until you hear 2 chirps, indicating the new code has been accepted.
8. Turn off the ignition to exit program mode (you’ll hear a 3-chirp confirmation).
9. VERY IMPORTANT: You must immediately test your new secret valet code: Turn
on the ignition, enter your new code, then flip the switch to its latched position. The
LED will illuminate. If it does not, the new code you programmed and the one you
just entered do not match. In such a case, the system will revert to the previous code.
Remote controlled valet mode entry and exit
You can even enable or exit valet mode with your remote control simply by transmitting
channel 9 (LevelShift twice, then button 1). In addition to the above indications, two
parking light flashes will confirm that you have remotely enabled valet mode, while a
single flash confirms exiting of valet mode.
Keyless entry in valet mode
Even if valet mode is enabled, you can still remotely control the convenience features.
For instance, simply press button 1 (channel 1) as if you were disarming and the doors
will unlock (indicated by one parking light flash) and the interior lights will turn on.
Press button 1 again and the doors lock (confirmed by two flashes). You can also use the
other channels to activate options such as a remote trunk release or remote engine starting.
