The Valet Switch may be mounted in a special holder with the Status light, or
optionally, the installer may have mounted it independently in a hidden, yet
accessible location. Please ensure that you and others who use your vehicle are
aware of the location of the Valet Switch and its uses. The Valet Switch has several
functions:
Using the Valet Switch
•
It is also used in the procedures for programming features and programming
transmitters to operate the Excalibur system. See the “Programming”
sections of this manual for details on these uses.
•
Should your transmitter be lost or become inoperable, the
Valet Switch,
and
the ignition key
, can be used to disarm the system with an
Emergency
Override
.
•
Placing your system into
Valet Mode
, which prevents it from arming.
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 Valet Mode when
it’s disarmed; if armed, an Emergency Override must be performed before placing
into Valet Mode. Once the system is in Valet Mode, it cannot become armed from
the transmitter, Last Door Arming, or Automatic Rearming.
Valet Mode and Emergency Override are two similar, but different procedures,
although both operations use the Valet Switch. Emergency Override disarms an
armed and activated system, and requires the ignition key. Valet Mode turns off the
alarm operations of the
disarmed
system, but without the need of the ignition key.
Valet Mode is designed for situations in which it is not convenient for the
security portion of the system to be operational, such as during extended stopovers
for vehicle servicing, maintenance, valet parking, washing, etc.
To Enter Valet Mode:
With the system disarmed, press and hold the Valet
Switch for 2 seconds.
• The siren will chirp twice, the parking lights will flash twice and the Status
Light will illuminate on solid.
• To indicate that the system is in Valet Mode, the Status Light remains on
whenever the system is in Valet Mode.
• To remind the user that the system is in Valet Mode, the siren will chirp once
every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned off.
To Exit Valet Mode
, simply Press & Release the Valet Switch at any time.
• The Status Light will turn off to confirm exit from Valet Mode.
If the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature is on, programming a
transmitter to the system will activate the Unauthorized Transmitter
Alert warning and the extended Status Light visual display; for the
next 48 hours the siren will sound a brief series of chirps every time
the vehicle’s ignition key is turned on.
The following special procedure programs the transmitters and
also turns the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature on.
Step 3
Press the “
arm/lock
” button on each remaining transmitter.
The system will chirp the siren once to confirm that each was learned.
The transmitter’s other three button's functions will automatically be
assigned when the “
arm/lock
” button is learned. If a code is not received
within a 10 second period, the learning process will automatically terminate,
as indicated by another siren burst.
Special Programming procedure to turn On the UTA feature:
Use this
method to program transmitters, and at the same time to turn on or turn off the
Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature.
Follow the same steps as the Standard Programming, but on any transmitter
being programmed instead of pressing the “
arm/lock
” button, press the “
arm/lock
”
and the “
disarm/unlock
” buttons together. This action turns
on
the Unauthorized
Transmitter Alert feature and at the same time programs the transmitter to operate
the system.
Once the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature is turned on, the warning will
sound for 48 hours after any transmitter programming, including the programming
session which was used to turn it on.
system). When the first transmitter code is learned all existing stored
codes will be erased.
