Viper 5500 Owner Manual - Page 23

Disabling the Starter Kill Without a Transmitter If your remote transmitter is lost or damaged, you can manually override the starter kill. To do this, you must have the vehicle's ignition key and know where the Valet switch is located. Be sure to check with the installer for the location of the Valet switch. To override the starter kill, turn the ignition on and press the Valet switch within 10 seconds. The status LED will stop flashing DRW-35 and the vehicle should start. If it does not start, you may have waited too long; turn the ignition off and repeat the process. LOCATION OF VALET SWITCH Valet Mode You can prevent your system from automatically activating the Failsafe® Starter Kill and locking the doors by using Valet Mode. This is very useful when washing the vehicle or having it serviced. In Valet Mode, the starter kill cannot be activated, even with the transmitter, but all convenience functions (door locks, remote start, etc.) will continue to work normally. 20 © 2006 Directed Electronics-all rights reserved
