User-Selectable AutoLock and AutoUnLock™
Some vehicles are incompatible with the AutoLock and AutoUnLock features.
For your safety and that of your passengers, the doors automatically lock the instant you turn on the ignition. When you turn the ignition off,
AutoUnLock automatically unlocks the doors. These are user-selectable features.
PlainView 2 Coded Valet Mode
All car alarms have a valet mode that turn off the security features. This mode is often used to turn off the alarm if the system is not responding to the
remote. However, thieves can disable other alarm brands by simply hotwiring the ignition and flicking the alarm’s easy-to-find “hidden” valet switch.
In contrast, your ACE 2000 system has safeguards that ensure a thief cannot enable the valet mode as a way of “turning off” your system. To enable valet
mode, the driver must first enter the secret valet code on the PlainView 2 switch mounted on your vehicle’s dash or console. When the system is in valet
mode, it overrides AutoArming and all other security features. At various times, you will need to switch the system off. For instance, when refueling or
washing your car.
The system’s factory-set valet code is 2: ✱✱ blank.
NOTE: If youtemporarily losethe use ofyour remote controls,you can disarmthe system byenabling valet mode.
Entering a code
To enter your code, press the ✱ button the appropriate number of times on the PlainView 2 switch followed by the blank button. To enter a zero, you
simply press the blank button.
EXAMPLE: To enter a code of 1203, you would press: ✱ blank, ✱✱ blank, blank, ✱✱✱ blank.
To enable valet mode
1. Turn the ignition switch to its “ON” position or start the engine if it is not already running.
2. Enter your valet code on the PlainView 2 switch.
3. Continue pressing the blank button for 4 seconds. Release the button. The LED will continue to remain on for ongoing visual confirmation of valet
mode.
To exit valet mode and restore normal operation
1. Turn the ignition switch to its “ON” position or start the engine if it is not already running.
2. Enter your valet code on the PlainView 2 switch. The LED will turn off.
How to set your own secret valet code
You may choose any 1-4-digit code, but the first digit must not be a zero (e.g., 1023 is a valid code, 0123 is not). See User-selectable features.
Example
Let’s say you want to set a valet code of 4301:
1. From the Table of user-selectable features, you would note that the Set a new secret valet code feature is in column 2, row 7.
2. Enter program mode by turning on the ignition, entering your current code, then pressing and holding the ✱ button of the PlainView 2 switch for 3
seconds until you hear a chirp.
3. Select column 2 by pressing the blank button twice. After a brief pause, you will hear 2 chirps to confirm that you have selected feature column 2.
4. Within 5 seconds, select row 7 by pressing and releasing the ✱ button 7 times. To help you count, you will hear a chirp each time you press the ✱
button. After 7 presses, immediately press the blank button, then immediately enter your new code.
Example: To enter 4301 as your new code, you would press the switch buttons in this manner: ✱✱✱✱ blank, ✱✱✱
blank, blank, ✱ blank.
5. Wait for the 2-chirp confirmation.
6. Turn off the ignition to exit program mode (you’ll hear a 3-chirp confirmation).
7. VERY IMPORTANT: You must immediately test your new secret valet code: Turn on the ignition, enter your new code, then press and hold the
blank button for 4 seconds. The LED will illuminate to indicate that the system is in valet mode. Turn the ignition off. The system is now in valet mode.
If the LED does not illuminate, the new code you programmed and the one you just entered do not match. In such a
case, the system will revert to the previous code.
8. To exit valet mode and return to normal operation, turn the ignition on and enter your code.
Remote Controlled Valet Mode
Valet mode turns off all security features and prevents AutoArming when, for instance, having your car washed. To turn valet mode on/off, simultaneously
press the
✱ and buttons. Two parking light flashes confirm valet mode on, one flash confirms valet mode off. The dashboard LED will glow
continuously when valet mode is on. Your system remains in valet mode until you again press the
✱ and buttons to turn it off and restore normal
operation. This is a user-selectable feature and may be programmed off if you wish to use this button combination for a different function.
