Turn remote start off for service (valet mode)

  • 2. Open the RADIO screenPress the Home button on the steering wheel and use the touch pad to pick RADIO on the instrument cluster.
  • 3. Open the menuPress and hold mute (press in on the volume wheel) until Rem Starter On/Off shows, then let go.
  • 4. Change and savePress and release mute to switch between On and Off. Leave the controls alone for about 7 seconds until Settings Saved shows, then turn the ignition off.

No volume and mute buttons on the steering wheel? Mid City's guides above show the turn signal stalk method.

If the module loses power (unplugged, or the battery is disconnected or goes flat), the settings go back to the factory defaults and have to be set again.
