VALET /SYSTEMOVERRIDE SWITCH
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;
1. Enter the vehicle, and turn the ignition key to the on position.
2. Move the valet toggle switch to the on position. The dash mounted L.E.D. will
turn on solid, and remain on as long as the system is in valet mode.
3. To return to normal operation, move the valet switch back to the off position
any time the ignition is on.
In the event that you lose your keychain transmitter, or if the transmitter fails to disarm the
system, the valet switch can be used to disarm the alarm. Open the vehicle’s door ( the
alarm will sound ). Turn the ignition key on, and move the valet switch to the on position.
The alarm will disarm, and the vehicle can now be started.
NOTE : Always remember to move the valet switch back to the off position. This will
ensure that the vehicle remains protected at all times.
ELIMINATING THE NORMALARM / DISARM CHIRPS
As explained earlier in the manual, you can eliminate the chirps selectively any time you
arm or disarm the system simply by holding the ARM / DISARM button for two seconds. If
you find the normal arming and disarming chirps annoying, they can be turned off perma-
nently, eliminating the need to hold the ARM / DISARM button for two seconds. To do this,
1. Start with the valet switch in the off position, then turn the ignition key on then
off.
2. Within 10 seconds, move the valet switch to on then off three times.
3. If the chirps were on before you started, then you will hear 2 chirps indicating
they have been turned off.
If the chirps were off before you started, then you will hear one chirp indicating
they have been turned on.
NOTE: If the siren/horn chirps two times, regardless of the valet switch operation as
described above, then the horn and siren chirps have been turned off via programming
features7&8. Contact your installation center or Audiovox technical department for
information on how to reinstate the chirp feature through programming.
NOTE : Whenever the chirps are by - passed, 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.
