UltraSecure™ valet mode Within seconds, thieves can disable all other alarm brands by hot-wiring the ignition and flicking an easy-to-find "hidden" valet switch. Concept 50 has safeguards that absolutely ensure that a thief or carjacker cannot enable the valet mode as a way of "turning off" your system. How? To enter valet mode, the driver must first enter the secret disarming code. Whenever the system is put in valet mode, all of the security and anti-carjacking features are switched off. At various times, you will need to switch the system off. For instance, when having your car serviced, washed or parked by a valet. Remember: When your car will be driven by someone else (such as a mechanic) who will not know your disarming code, you must place Concept 50 in valet mode, otherwise your car will be immobilized. NOTE: If you temporarily lose the use of your remote controls, you can disarm the system by enabling valet mode. To enable valet mode 1. Turn the ignition switch to its "ON" position or start the engine. 2. Enter your secret disarming code on the PlainView switch, then return the switch to its center position. 3. You now have 3 seconds to flip the switch to the latched position (valet mode). Once you have enabled valet mode, the system's LED will glow continually for on-going visual confirmation of valet mode. Keyless entry in valet mode: Even if valet mode is enabled, you can still remotely control the convenience features. For instance, simply press button 1 (channel 1) as if you were disarming. The doors will unlock (as indicated by one flash of the parking lights) and the interior lights will illuminate. Press button 1 (channel 1) again and the doors will lock (indicated by two parking light flashes). You can also use the remote control's other channels to activate options such as a remote trunk release or remote engine starting. To exit valet mode 1. Turn the ignition switch to its "ON" position or start the engine (you may also perform the following while driving). 2. Flick the switch back to its center position. The LED will turn off to confirm that the system is now in its normal operating mode. NOTE: You can even enable or exit valet mode with your remote control from outside the vehicle! See the Remote QuickAccess section on page 16. Dual-sensor protection Concept 50 system has two sensors: a Glass Tampering Sensor that detects attempts to break any of the vehicle's windows, and a Dual-Zone Magnetic Resonance Sensor that detects intrusion-related vibrations. What's more, the secondary, high-sensitivity zone of the Dual-Zone Magnetic Resonance Sensor can detect someone forcefully leaning against your vehicle's fender and will warn the person off with an unmistakable warning tone (instead of the full siren blast, which is reserved for a genuine intrusion attempt). 13
