Your Sabre II system has safeguards that absolutely ensure a thief cannot enable the valet mode as a way of "turning off" your system. To enable valet mode, the driver must first enter a secret valet code on the PlainView switch. If a thief tries guessing your code, after three incorrect entries, the siren will sound and the system will not accept any further entries for two minutes. the code can be any number between 1 and 999, except those that contain a zero). Whenever the system is in valet mode, it overrides the AutoArming feature (see page 7) and all the security features are turned off. For instance, when having your car serviced, washed or parked by a valet. Your factory-set valet code is the single digit "2. " NOTE: If you temporarily lose the use of your remote controls, you can disarm the system by enabling valet mode. Definitions Digit: A digit is defined as any number from 1 to 9, inclusive. Valet code: A valet code may be 1 to 3 digits: A one-digit code=X=any number between 1-9 A two-digit code=XY=any number between 11-99 (excluding numbers with zeros) A three-digit code=XYZ=any number between 111-999 (excluding numbers with zeros) Remember, no code can have a zero. PlainView switch: A rocker switch mounted on the dashboard or console. The switch has three positions: 1. ) Latched 2. ) Center 3. ) Spring-loaded momentary. When you press the latched side, the switch remains in its pressed position. When you press the momentary side, the switch bounces back to the center position. Entering a digit: To enter a digit, you tap (press and release) on the momentary side of the PlainView switch the number of times corresponding to the numeral of the digit to be entered, followed by pressing to the latched side, then returning the switch to its center position. Entering a code: If your code has only one digit, enter the code as described in "Entering a digit. , " If your code has more than one digit, just repeat the above for each digit of your code. 8 To enable valet mode 1. Turn the ignition switch to its "ON" position or start the engine. Enter your secret valet code on the PlainView switch (the LED will turn on), then return the switch to its center position. You now have 10 seconds to press the latched position to enter valet mode. The system LED will glow continually for on-going visual confirmation of valet mode. To exit valet mode 1. Turn the ignition switch to its "ON" position or start the engine. The LED will turn off to confirm that the system is now in its normal operating mode. Setting your own secret valet code Since all Clifford systems have the same factory-set code, it is highly advisable that you set your own valet code. You may choose any 1-, 2-, or 3-digit code that does not have any zeros. [. . . ] Before sounding the siren a second time, the system automatically checks for another activated trigger to verify that an intrusion is in progress. Should the siren sound again, you will know for sure that someone is tampering with your vehicle.
