Setting the Valet Mode

The valet mode lets you leave your
vehicle for service or with a valet and
not have it passively arm. The default
is for the valet mode to be on (pas-
sive arming is off). 

To have your system passively arm
60 seconds after you turn off the en-
gine, hold down 

DISARM

 for about 10

seconds. The system beeps twice.

To turn the valet mode on again (so
the system does not passively arm),
hold down 

DISARM

 for about 10 sec-

onds. The system beeps three times.

ARMING THE ALARM

To arm the alarm, press 

ARM

. The

alarm chirps once.

Notes:

• The system ignores current-sens-

ing violations for 40 seconds after
you arm it.

• The system ignores shock-sen-

sor violations for 8 seconds after
you arm it.

• If the valet mode is turned off, the

system arms 60 seconds after
you turn off your vehicle.

Temporarily Reducing the 
Shock Sensor’s Sensitivity

If you are parking in a severe weather
situation, near a construction zone, or
near heavy traffic, you can temporari-
ly reduce the system’s shock sensor
sensitivity to help prevent false alerts.
To reduce the sensitivity to half its
normal level, first press 

ARM

 to arm

the system. The alarm chirps once.
Then, within 2 seconds, press 

ARM

again. The alarm chirps once in a
lower tone.

To completely turn off the shock sen-
sor, press 

ARM

 two times within 2

seconds of arming. The alarm chirps
in a lower tone each time you press

ARM

.

Note:  When you disarm and re-arm
the system, the shock sensor returns
to its previous sensitivity setting.

SOUNDING THE PANIC 
ALARM

To sound a panic alarm, press and
release 

PANIC

. The alarm sounds

loud tones for 30 seconds. Press any
button to stop the panic alarm sooner.
