Page 8: Using The Status Light/Valet Button
When the system enters Valet Mode, the Status Light will stay on. If the KE-170 is installed with audible confirmation, the system will chirp twice when it enters Valet Mode. Remember to check the Status Light - if it is not illuminated or flashing fast, the system may be placed into Valet Mode. - Page 9 CH“ buttons will still operate - but the optional Starter Interrupt will not operate, and any programmed automatic functions are suspended. To exit Valet Mode simply press and release the Status Light/Valet Button at any time; the Status Light will turn off. System Override: If the last system operation was locking the doors by the transmitter, a System Override is required before placing the system into Valet Mode, or starting the engine if the optional Starter Interrupt is installed.
