SECONDARY FUNCTIONS
ANTI-LOCK
When connected, this function prevents system from locking the doors during automatic rearming if key is in the ignition.
It can also be connected to a switch to select automatic locking as ACTIVE or INACTIVE.
TEMPORARY VALET MODE (ALARM)
This mode is used to cancel automatic rearming for an indefinite period.
You will find this mode useful when fuelling up or working on your vehicle.
To activate Temporary Valet Mode, press
button during rearming cycle (indicator light flashes rapidly).
When light stops flashing, it confirms that Temporary Valet Mode has been activated.
To cancel this mode, place ignition key in RUN position then remove it; passive rearming is reactivated when you open a
door.
You can also arm the system using the remote, which cancels Temporary Valet Mode.
VALET MODE
This mode is used to deactivate alarm permanently when you take your vehicle in for servicing for
example. It can be de/activate by the remote (see table of commands, page 6) or by the Valet switch.
See also Pager on page 5.
Valet switch activates Valet Mode or terminates alarm condition when your remote control is not
available (lost, batteries dead, etc.).
This switch must be installed in a hidden place known only to regular users of the vehicle.
Ask your installer to tell you where it is.
T
O ACTIVATE VALET MODE, place ignition key in RUN position (do not start engine) then press Valet switch (for about 3
seconds) until indicator light comes on at half-brightness for 15 seconds or less, parking lights flash four times to confirm that
mode was enabled. The indicator light comes on again when engine is stopped or when certain commands are received to
remind you that Valet Mode is active.
T
O DEACTIVATE VALET MODE, place ignition key in RUN position (do not start engine) then press Valet switch (for about 3
seconds) until indicator light goes out, parking lights flash twice to confirm that mode was disabled.
Notes:
If you perform both sequences one after the other, you need to pause for 3 seconds between the two sequences.
Valet Mode is automatically deactivated when key is turned to the RUN position and/or the engine is remote started for the
tenth time. This is to prevent Valet Mode from being left on for long periods.
