To place the system into Valet Mode, which will also permit the starting of the
vehicle without having a key fob disc present, perform the following steps:
1) Enter the vehicle; the system is engaged, as indicated by a flashing Red Status
Light. If the door detection circuit is connected, the Status Light will change to
solid Red when the door is opened. If not, the Status Light remains flashing until
the following step.
2) Use the ignition key to turn the ignition switch on. The Status Light will change
to solid Red (if not already solid Red from the door detection circuit) indicating that
system is actively seeking a key fob disc. When the Status Light is solid Red the
vehicle will not start.
3) Press the Valet/Override Switch 3 times. The Status Light will briefly change to
solid Orange before extinguishing completely. The system is now in Valet Mode,
and the vehicle may be started. As an indicator of Valet Mode, when the ignition
switch is turned off, and while it is off, the Status Light will be solid Green.
The system is now in Valet Mode, and the starter interrupt circuit no longer
engages automatically every time that the ignition switch is turned off. Please note
that if the vehicle will be left with someone, and it is desired to place the system into
Valet Mode, simply allow the system to engage, then perform the System Override
to obtain Valet Mode.

cannot be started; if an attempt is made to start the vehicle, the starter will simply not
operate. Any such failed starting attempt will result in the Status Light illuminating
solid Red as soon as the ignition switch is turned to the "on" or "run" position. This
serves as a warning of the no-start condition, and also to indicate that the system is
in the process of "seeking" an authorized key fob disc. Please note that an installation
option allows for the vehicle's dome light circuit to initiate the KeyCounter's seeking
of the disc; if so the Status Light changes from flashing Red to solid Red as soon as
the door is opened. In this case, the exchange of the digital signal between the disc
and the KeyCounter occurs much faster; typically before the key is even inserted into
the ignition switch.
However, when a starting attempt is made with an authorized key fob disc, the
Status Light will change from flashing Red to a flashing of Green for 10 seconds (except
during the ATV warning period- see page 7). When the Status Light changes to
flashing Green, it is important to note that the KeyCounter is actually indicating two
conditions:
First, the starter circuit is no longer immobilized, and the engine can be started.
Second, note that the Green flashes occur as a series of flashes between pauses.
This is the ATV operation; the number of flashes is the number active
transponder discs, hence keys, which are able to successfully start the vehicle.
