The higher the control module is in the vehicle, the better the transmitter range will be. If you put the control
module under a seat or inside a metal dashboard, range will suffer.
Some good control module locations: Above the glove box, inside the center console, above the underdash
fuse box, above the radio, etc.
Ensure that the location you pick for the switch has sufficient clearance to the rear. The switch should be well
hidden. It should be placed so passengers or stored items (such as in a glove box or center console) cannot ac-
cidentally hit it. The switch fits in a
9
/32-inch hole.
This system has Remote Valet
®
. The user can enter and exit Valet
®
Mode without having to reach the
Valet
®
/Program switch. DEI
®
introduced this feature so that switch location was less critical in day-to-day use.
As long as the Valet
®
/Program switch can be reached to disarm without a transmitter, easy access is not important.
IMPORTANT! When the vehicle is delivered, please show the user where the switch is located and
how to disarm the system with it.
