System Overview
The 2 system components used to control and monitor this system:
The Transmitter: Each system comes with 2 pre-learned transmitters.
This system can be operated by up to 4 different transmitters. Each transmitter
is embedded with a unique security code and can only operate one system at
a time. It has 4 buttons: a “LOCK” button, an “UNLOCK” button, a “TRUNK”
button, and a “3RD CH BUTTON” button which operates an additional output or
can be congured to activate PANIC mode.
The Status Light/Valet Button: This button can be used to temporarily
turn “off” certain automatic locking, anti-carjacking, and optional starter interrupt
operations of the system, should they be programmed to operate, by placing
the system into “Valet Mode”. If the optional starter interrupt is installed, the
Status Light/Valet Button can also be used, in conjunction with the vehicle’s
ignition key, to perform a “System Override”, allowing you to start the engine,
should the transmitter not be available. The Status Light/Valet Button is also
used to program features and transmitters.
The Status Light shows the status of the system at a glance, and its
presence offers a visual deterrent to break-ins and theft.
The Status Light’s operation is described on pages 10-11.

Using The Status Light/Valet Button
The Status Light/Valet Button can be used to place the system into
Valet Mode, which is used to stop or interrupt any automatic system func-
tions which may be programmed to operate. The Status Light/Valet Button, in
conjunction with your ignition key, also permits System Override, which allows
starting the vehicle if the optional starter interrupt is installed, and the transmit-
ter becomes lost or damaged.
Valet Mode: You may activate the Valet Mode at any time by pressing
and holding the Status Light/Valet Button for 3 seconds, unless the doors have
been locked by the transmitter (in which case the Status Light will be ashing
slowly). When the system enters Valet Mode, the Status Light will stay on. If
the KE-170 is installed with audible conrmation, the system will chirp twice
when it enters Valet Mode. Remember to check the Status Light - if it is not
illuminated or ashing fast, the system may be placed into Valet Mode. If the
Status Light is on steady, the system is already in Valet Mode. If it’s ashing
slowly, a System Override must rst be performed (see next page).
If the audible conrmation is connected, every time the ignition switch
is turned “off”, the system will chirp once as a reminder of this condition. Also,
the transmitter will operate normally while the system is in Valet Mode, i.e., it
will still lock and unlock the doors, and the transmitter’s “TRUNK” and “3RD
9
CH“ buttons will still operate - but the optional Starter Interrupt will not operate,
and any programmed automatic functions are suspended.
To exit Valet Mode simply press and release the Status Light/Valet
Button at any time; the Status Light will turn off.
System Override: If the last system operation was locking the doors
by the transmitter, a System Override is required before placing the system into
Valet Mode, or starting the engine if the optional Starter Interrupt is installed.
To obtain a System Override:
Step 1 Enter the vehicle normally.
Step 2 Using your key, turn the ignition “ON” (do not start).
Step 3 Within 5 seconds, press and release the Status Light/Valet Button once.
The Status Light will stop ashing.

The Status Light
The KE-170’s Status Light/Valet Button is a combined Valet/Override
button & Status Light to inform you of the system’s operational condition. If
your system includes a Starter Interrupt circuit, it’s condition is also reected in
this light’s operation, along with any automatic features which may have been
programmed to operate.
Light Off - Ignition switch is “on” OR the system is “at rest”, or standby, await-
ing a transmitter command, and is also indicating that no automatic functions
are occurring or will occur.
Light On - The system is in “Valet Mode”.
Light Flashing Rapidly - An automatic function, such as automatic locking or
automatic starter interrupt, is in progress.
Light Flashing Slowly - This slow ashing will occur whenever the transmitter
has been used to lock the doors, and also that the Starter Interrupt (if installed)
is engaged.
Light Flashes 1 to 4 Times after Ignition “On” - This is the number of oper-
ating transmitters stored in the system’s memory. These indicators are part of
the Automatic Transmitter Verication operation. This indicator will ash for 10
seconds after the vehicle’s ignition is turned ON.
