Only registered keys will stop the alarm. If the immobilizer transponder is not registered, the alarm will not stop.

Valet mode

When you choose the valet mode, the alarm system does not operate. In valet mode, the remote transmitter is used only for locking and unlocking the doors and rear gate and panic activation.

To enter the valet mode, change the setting of your vehicle’s alarm system to deactivation mode. Refer to “Alarm system setting”. The security indicator light will continue to flash once every 3 seconds, indicating that the system is in the valet mode.

To exit valet mode, change the setting of your vehicle’s alarm system to activation mode. Refer to “Alarm system setting”.
