Plain View 2™ Coded Valet Mode
All car alarms have a valet mode that essentially turns off the security features. This
mode is also used to turn off the alarm if the system is not responding to the remote
control. However, thieves can disable other alarm brands in seconds by simply hotwiring
the ignition and flicking the alarm's easy-to-find "hidden" valet switch.
In contrast, your Concept 600 system has safeguards that ensure a thief cannot enable the
valet mode as a way of "turning off" your system. How? To enable valet mode, the driver must
first enter the secret disarming code on the PlainView 2 switch (i.e., the same code you use
to turn off the BlackJax anti-carjacking feature; see page 4).
When the system is in valet mode, it overrides the anti-carjacking features (see pages
4-5), the AutoArming feature (see page 13) and all other security features. At various
times, you will need to switch the system off. For instance, when refuelling or washing
your car.
Your sys tem's factory- set valet/dis arm ing code is noted on the
back cover of this man ual.
NOTE: If you tem po rar ily lose the use of your re mote con trols, you can dis arm
the sys tem by ena bling valet mode.
To en able 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/disarming code on the PlainView 2 switch.
3. Continue pressing the unmarked button for 3-4 seconds. Release the button. The LED
will continue to remain on for ongoing visual confirmation of valet mode.
Auto matic exit of the valet mode
In com pli ance with Thatcham re quire ments, the sys tem will auto mati cally exit valet
mode the next time that the ig ni tion switch is turned to the "ON" po si tion (e.g., when
the en gine is started).
Re mote con trolled valet mode en try and exit
You can even enable or exit valet mode with your master remote control simply by
transmitting channel 9 (LevelShift twice, then button 1) on the master remote control
or the
and
on the companion remote. In addition to the LED indications noted
above, two indicator light flashes will confirm that you have remotely enabled valet
mode, a single flash confirms valet mode exit. If you prefer, you may turn off remote
controlled valet mode as noted in the User-selectable features section on pages 21-22 so
that the system cannot be placed in valet mode via the remote control.
Key less en try in valet mode
Even if valet mode is enabled, you can still remotely control the convenience features.
For instance, pressing button 1 on the master remote or button
remote as if you were disarming will unlock the doors (indicated by one indicator light
flash) and turn on the interior light(s). Press the button again and the doors will lock
(confirmed by two flashes). You may also use the other remote control buttons to
activate options such as a remote boot release or remote engine starting.
