Passive vs. Active Arming & Valet Mode

When your vehicle is in Valet Mode, the remote starter functionalities are disabled. If the vehicle needs to be serviced, or if you park it indoors, the Valet Mode will prevent the engine from being remote-started accidentally. Passive arming, alarm unit arm by itself a minute or so after you close the doors. Active arming, you arm the alarm with the lock button.   Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.
