Duffers Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Hi All My Soop is going in for a MOT tomorrow (shudder) and I need to have the alarm in valet mode so they can start it and stuff without me having to keep putting in the code etc. Is this possible? I can't find my damn user manual for the system! Any help on this would really be appreciated! Thanks Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffers Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 It's okay - I've found my manual. I was doing the typical "male" look around for it and it was under my nose all along. Doh! Cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 how do you use valet mode? i have same system - maybe PM me instead of putting it on public though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 its a well known thing. Just press the 2 auxillary buttons together on the keyfob. and the led should stay lit. That signifies valet mode, resets back to normal after the car is started or if the 2 buttons are pressed again... iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tepster Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 why have i got a Valet button inside the car then? Thats for adjusting the sensors etc It can be used to activate valet mode too iirc but it easier done on the keyfob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 2005thurston Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 The valet mode on the new G5 cliffords can be accessed by two ways. Firstly pressing the clifford sign twice then the unlock button,(On the new G5 Fobs#) Or by using the valet pad inside the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 You need to make sure valet mode is actually enabled before you start pressing buttons. On mine (with Blackjax fitted) I needed to enter my secure code in the usual way. Then you use Cliffords x presses of this followed by x presses of that (guide in the manual) to activate valet mode. Once active you can press the two buttons on the fob to TOTALLY DISABLE ALL THE SECURITY settings for you car. Also, when you start the car you MUST activate valet mode before touching the brake, selecting a gear etc. Won't come on otherwise. Fairly handy anti0theft device. Remember to actively disable Valet mode afterwards otherwise anyone with a knowledge of Clifford alarms can nab your keys and be off with your car, blackjax or not. I usually wait with my car when it's worked on and activate the valet mode for the mechanics etc. Stops em going for a ride in your car.

Duffers Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 As I've now found my manual, if anyone wants to know any of the user selectable features from the programming chart - I'll try and help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Just to set a few things straight. Valet mode was originally designed to allow someone to park your car and retrieve it without you needing to explain how your security system works, or without the need to hand over the keys. IT IS NOT A SERVICE MODE. The alarm will remove itself from Valet mode once the ignition has been switched off and back on again. It works for ONE cycle only, therefor, no good for services or MOT's. - For this I'd advise turning off Blackjax and Passive arming if possible. Valet mode can be activated from either a remote key, (unless this feature is programmed out), or via the 2 button key pad inside the car. (Valet switch). Via remote, it is accessed either by pushing the two left buttons on the four button icon type remote, (Companion). Or pushing the button on the side twice followed by the big button on the 5 button 'Radar' Master remotes, or bu pushing the Clifford button, then the padlock button on the new G5 master remotes. If using the valet switch, you enter your pin code using the button with the 'star' as the key to enter the first number with, then the 'blank' button to enter. Then the 'star' to enter the next number, then 'blank' to enter etc. etc. Once entering the final number, continue to hold the 'blank' button for three seconds to enter Valet mode. Hope that helps. Any questions... Don't ask me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
