Security during valet - hello LR?
Discussion
What?
It means valet mode, limits some features (Sat nav I think, locks glovebox etc) so when a chaps rummaging around your car you feel a bit safer. the security is for YOU not the lad washing it..
Edit: I'm not really sure what you're asking. It says valet as they assume aside from yourself that who else would be using the car with your permission. The plumber?

For Valet parking in the US.
X300 onwards Jag XJs had ia Valet button. Limits performance I think.
Other cars have a separate Valet key which does the same.
Might do in the US but can't say in four years of valeting I've seen one over here do anything other than lock/disable certain features. Never had any issues driving any cars around in valet mode.X300 onwards Jag XJs had ia Valet button. Limits performance I think.

I've not heard of them limiting performance, definitely not on the XJ's. It does limit access to the car not allowing access to the boot/glovebox/etc. kind of pointless though as the key can turn it off by locking/unlocking the car. I believe you need a valet key as well to fully activate the feature.X300 onwards Jag XJs had ia Valet button. Limits performance I think.

for Valet parking, not valeters, no?
Slightly different meaning.
I think you can safely dismount the high horse and soap box now.

Understood, but why VALET? If you were a plumber and every house burglar alarm had a 'PLUMBER' setting it would be a bit odd and certainly p

There's plenty of people who may access a car during the first few years apart from the owner and the guy doing a valet.
Just to clarify, are you being serious here? s off the trade body.There's plenty of people who may access a car during the first few years apart from the owner and the guy doing a valet.

Your car or should I say your wifes car has been driven from brand new on a road route around Halewood by an agency worker who works week to week, don,t worry about a valet parker wringing its neck as it has already been done, 
That's an interesting one, the LR tracker showed it in the factory car park and monitored its every wheel turn since it leaves the outfeed line so I think the almost nil delivery mileage over two journeys is right, so the old days of Storage Santa Pod are over. V6Pushfit said:

Valet is for when you go to a nice hotel / restaurant and they take your car into the car park for you!
Its usually a special key known as the valet key, although some audis (for example) have a valet switch in the glove box - you turn it on and then lock the glove box. In most cases it just restricts access to the boot / glove box. But on some modern cars it can restrict access to things like mobile phones / sat nav etc.
On the RR Evoque its enabled using a PIN number IIRC.

The valet mode on my bosses Disco 4 disabled the sat nav, I'm guessing because you've just given a parking attendant your car key with most likely a house key attached to it, along with a vehicle that can guide him back to your unoccupied house. My IS200 had a valet key that wouldn't open the boot or glovebox if they were previously locked with the normal key. I used to use it to lock away tomtom and sweets when I left the car in airport car parks.

The plumber setting on a house alarm is to stop them getting out before they've finished the job. Assuming you ever get one to turn up that is.s off the trade body.V6Pushfit said:
Picked up a LR Evoque at the weekend. The computer home screen has a bizarre setting saying 'VALET' and the dealer said it was for a higher level of car/computer security during a Valet.
Does the Valet profession demand a higher level of security as they ply their trade, should it not just say 'HIGHER SECURITY'? Why pick out Valetters ahead of other groups that may make off with the wheels?? Maybe a P setting?
