Valet Mode:
The valet switch allows you to temporarily bypass all alarm functions, eliminating the need to
hand your transmitter to parking attendants or garage mechanics. When the system is in valet
mode, all alarm functions are bypassed, however the remote panic feature and remote door
locks will remain operational. To use the valet mode, the system must first be disarmed either
by using your keychain transmitter, or by operating the manual override sequence.
1. From the disarmed condition, turn the ignition key to the on position.
2. Press and hold the valet push-button switch until the dash mounted LED, (Light
Emitting Diode) turns on. The LED will remain on as long as the system is in valet
mode.
3. To return to normal operation, turn the ignition switch on, then.
press and hold the push button switch until the LED turns off.
NOTE : Always remember to return the system to the NON VALET mode, after servicing, to
ensure that the vehicle remains protected at all times.
MANUALL Y OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM:
Using The Valet / Manual Override Switch:
Your Security System can be disarmed without the use of the keychain transmitter. This is
necessary, since you will need the ability to operate your vehicle if the transmitter is lost or its
battery fails.
To override the system:
1. Open the vehicle door. The alarm will sound.
2. Turn the ignition key to the on position.
3. Within 10 seconds, press and release the valet push button switch.
The alarm system will stop sounding and enter the disarmed mode. You can now start and
operate the vehicle normally.
Typically this override mode is used only if the transmitter has become inoperative. You may
elect to enter the VALET mode until repair or replacement of the transmitter, after which,
returning the system to the full operation mode is necessary. To do so, see the heading
VALET SWITCH.
ELIMINATING THE NORMAL ARM / DISARM CHIRPS
As explained earlier in the manual, you can eliminate the chirps selectively any time you arm or
disarm the system simply by pressing both transmitter buttons. If you find the normal arming and
disarming chirps annoying, they can be turned off permanently, eliminating the need to press
both buttons. To turn chirps off permanently, selectable features # 6 must be turned off in the
feature programming section of the installation manual. Refer to this manual or consult with your
installation technician to have this feature turned off.
NOTE : Whenever the chirps are bypassed, the 4 chirp intrusion indicator and 3 chirp defective
zone indicator will always operate. Since these are important warnings to you that something
has happened, they cannot be eliminated.
Arming Without Shock:
This system has the ability to allow the sensor to be defeated, from the transmitter, entirely for
one arming cycle. To eliminate the sensor for one arming cycle:
Press the lock button of the transmitter, siren chirps once, and immediately press the lock
button a second time, siren chirps one long chirp. The system is armed but the shock sensor
is bypassed for one arming cycle.
