Steps to Turn Off the Car Alarm Without a Remote:
1. Locate the Valet/Override Switch:
- The valet/override switch is typically a small, hidden button or toggle switch installed somewhere within the driver's reach. Common locations include:
- Under the dashboard on the driver’s side
- Near the driver's side kick panel
- Inside the glove compartment or center console
2. Access the Vehicle Safely:
- If the alarm is currently triggered and sounding, unlock the vehicle using your key.
- Opening the door may temporarily stop the siren, but the alarm system may still be armed.
3. Insert the Key and Turn On the Ignition:
- Insert your car key into the ignition.
- Turn the ignition to the "ON" position (do not start the engine). This will power the vehicle’s electrical system but keep the engine off.
4. Use the Valet/Override Switch:
- While the ignition is in the "ON" position, press and hold the valet/override switch for a few seconds (typically 2-5 seconds).
- The car alarm should turn off, and the system will be disarmed. This will stop the siren and any flashing lights.
5. Confirm the Alarm is Disarmed:
- To confirm the system is in valet mode (disarmed), check the alarm system LED light (if available). The LED might stay solid or turn off completely, indicating that the alarm is no longer active.
- You should now be able to start your vehicle normally without the alarm sounding.
- Refer to Your User Manual: Specific procedures may vary slightly depending on the model of your alarm system and how it was installed. Refer to the user manual of your alarm system for model-specific instructions.
- Reprogram or Replace the Remote: If your remote is lost or damaged, consider obtaining a replacement remote and reprogramming it to your system. You can often order a replacement remote from the manufacturer or an authorized dealer.
- Seek Professional Help: If you are unable to locate the valet switch or if the above steps do not work, you may need to consult a professional installer or a qualified technician who is familiar with your specific alarm system.
By following these steps, you should be able to disarm your car alarm without a remote using the RFK32SST kit's valet/override feature.
