Valet mode
For your peace of mind, your vehicle has a
unique valet mode for those times that
your vehicle is parked by another person.
When valet mode is active, your vehicle’s
power is limited and the touch screen
displays activity information about the
vehicle. The maximum speed the vehicle
can travel in valet mode is 80 km/h
(50 mph). Operation of the touch screen
is restricted to the valet mode screen
which displays information on how your
vehicle was used while in valet mode.
Note: The glove box is automatically
locked whenever valet mode is active,
providing a secure location for storing
personal items.
Valet mode can only be deactivated by
entering the vehicle’s PIN code.
Activating Valet mode
To activate valet mode, touch the
bow tie icon on the touch screen’s
main parked screen.
Provided a vehicle PIN code has been set,
you’ll be prompted to enter your PIN code.
Enter your PIN code and touch
OK . The
touch screen displays the Valet Mode
Activated screen.
If a PIN code has not been set, the Touch
Screen displays a message telling you to
enter a new PIN code. Touch
OK to enter a
new PIN code. See Security PIN, page 4-7.
The touch screen displays the following
information for the current period that
valet mode has been active:
•
Distance travelled
•
Top speed reached
•
Unlock attempts (the number of
unsuccessful attempts at entering a
PIN code)
•
Tailgate openings (the number of times
the trunk has been opened)
Deactivating Valet mode
To deactivate valet mode, touch the
unlock icon to display the PIN code
entry screen.
Enter your PIN code and then touch OK . If
the correct PIN code was entered, the
touch screen displays the main parked
screen.
If you enter an incorrect PIN code, a
message is displayed telling you that
you’ve made an invalid entry. Either enter
the correct PIN code or touch the
EXIT
icon to return to the previous screen.
