2000DuBack Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I have a 2000 outback limited that I recently purchased. I have been trying to activate the alarm system and according to the owners manual, you open the drivers door and hold the arm key for two seconds and the car will come out of valet mode. On mine I cannot seem to get it out of valet mode. Does anyone have a suggestion for me? thanks, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Does the remote work to lock/unlock the doors? Your method sounds correct, To exit valet mode, open the driver’s door and keep the “UNLOCK/DISARM” button pressed for more than two seconds. The indicator will stop flashing.

2000DuBack Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 Does the remote work to lock/unlock the doors? Your method sounds correct, Yes it does, but only the horn starts sounding. And the indicator keeps flashing. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Hm, does it sound three times? That's what it does to me if the door is open and I press 'lock'. I accidentally got my '00obw into valet mode a few months ago; maybe tomorrow I'll try to get it out of valet and see if the method works.

I was holding the Lock button instead of the Unlock button. Works like a charm. Thanks, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
