Using The Valet / Override Switch
The
Valet
/Override Switch
can be used to place the system into
Valet
Mode
, which is used to stop or interrupt any automatic system functions which
may be programmed to operate. The Valet/Override Switch, in conjunction
with your ignition key, also permits
System Override
, which allows starting the
vehicle if the optional starter interrupt is installed, and the transmitter becomes
lost or damaged.
Valet Mode:
You may activate the Valet Mode at any time by press-
ing and holding the Valet/Override Switch for 3 seconds, unless the doors have
been locked by the transmitter
(in which case the Status Indicator will be flash
-
ing slowly). When the system enters Valet Mode, the Status Light will illuminate
solid steady Red. If the REC-12 is installed with audible confirmation, the sys
-
tem will chirp twice when it enters Valet Mode. Remember to check the Status
Light - if it is not lighted or flashing fast, the system may be placed into Valet
Mode. If the Status Light is on steady, the system is already in Valet Mode. If
it’s flashing slowly, a System Override must first be performed (see next page).
While the system is in the Valet Mode, the Status Light will remain solid
Red (not flashing) at all times. If the audible confirmation is connected, every
time the ignition switch is turned “off”, the system will chirp once as a reminder
of this condition. Also, the transmitter will operate normally while the system
is in Valet Mode, i.e., it will still lock and unlock the doors, and the transmitter’s
“TRUNK” and “
...
“ buttons will still operate - but the optional Starter Disable
will not operate, and any programmed automatic functions are suspended.
To exit Valet Mode
simply press and release the Valet Switch at any
time; the Status Light will change from being on solid steady Red to being off.
System Override:
If the last system operation was locking the doors
by the transmitter, a System Override is required before then placing the
system into Valet Mode, or starting the engine if the optional Starter Disable is
installed. To obtain a System Override:
Step 1
Enter the vehicle normally.
Step 2
Using your key, turn the ignition “ON”.
Step 3
Within 5 seconds, press and release the Valet Switch once. The Status
Light will turn off.
