Using Valet Mode with Phone As A Key
Select one of the options below for steps on how to turn on, turn off, or provide your passcode to a valet attendant.
Turning on Valet Mode with a Phone As A Key Device
- Select your Vehicle image on the vehicle screen.
- Press Controls.
- Select Valet Mode.
Note: Your vehicle will check for either a key fob or a Phone As A Key device.- If a Phone As A Key device is found, it will generate and send the temporary valet code to that device via Bluetooth®Wireless Technology.
- If a key fob is found, you will be instructed to create a four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN). Once entered, press Done.
Valet Mode is now enabled, and the temporary valet passcode will remain on the screen for the current ignition cycle.
Turning on Valet Mode with a Backup Start Passcode
- Select your Vehicle image on the vehicle screen.
- Press Controls.
- Select Valet Mode.
Note: Your vehicle will check for either a key fob or a Phone As A Key device.- If a key fob is found, you will be instructed to create a four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN). Once entered, press Done.
- If no Phone As A Key device is found, you will be prompted to enter your Backup Start Passcode.
Once your Backup Start Passcode is confirmed, a temporary passcode will display on the vehicle screen with instructions on how to use it.
Note: The temporary passcode for the current ignition cycle will remain displayed on your screen.
Providing Your Passcode to Valet
Inform your valet attendant to do the following:
- Enter the first five digits of the temporary code on the door keypad to unlock the vehicle.
- Type the passcode on the screen.
Note: Once the full 8-digit passcode is entered, the vehicle screen will display that the password was accepted.
- Press the brake and Push to Start button to start the vehicle.
Important: If you provide your key fob to the valet attendant, advise them to avoid pressing the Exit Valet Mode button. If selected, the passcode will become void, and your vehicle screen will return to its normal functionality.
Turning off Valet Mode
To disable valet mode, press Exit Valet Mode on the screen.
- If a Phone As A Key device is detected, Valet Mode will be disabled.
