your transmitter to parking attendants or garage mechanics. When the system is in valet mode, all
alarm functions and remote start functions are bypassed, however the remote panic feature and
remote door locks will remain operational. To use the valet mode, the system must first be
disarmed either by using your remote transmitter, or by operating the manual override sequence.
