Once your valet passcode is created, these are the instructions your valet attendant will need to access your vehicle using the passcode:
- Enter the first five digits of the temporary code on the door keypad to unlock the vehicle.
- Press the brake and Push to Start button.
- SYNC®****** will prompt the valet to enter the temporary passcode.
- Once the full eight-digit passcode is entered, SYNC will display that the password was accepted.

Note: If the valet taps Exit Valet Mode on SYNC, the passcode will be made void, the vehicle will automatically exit valet mode, and a new passcode will need to be generated.
