All,
I am 100% confused with valet mode in my new 2006 Outback XT.
I ended up bringing in the car to my subaru service department
questioning why I saw the word security flashing in the dash... For
some reason the first 10 days of owning my car I never noticed this....
They immediately agreed and thought this was a strange problem...
However after further investigation and walking around with the sales
person... I found out it was normal... (ironic that both service and
sales people had no clue about this issue...)
However now... my care does the following:
1) The car engine is off and I pull the key out... (the word security
flashes in the dash)
2) I click lock in the car or use the arming button on the remote to
lock and the word security flashes one time every 3 seconds
ALL OTHER Outbacks I saw with my sales person actually flash 2 times
every 3 seconds not once like my car.... AM I IN VALET MODE????
What does valet mode really mean and how can I change this back to
normal???
I heard that valet mode may not allow my RPM's to hit higher than 3500
and the turbo is deactivated... Is this true???
UGH.... Any suggestions on how to solve this proble mis appreciated...
My fear is that my dealership is sorta dumb with this issue and won't
know how to fix this problem... they wasted over an hour of my time
trying to get the word security in the dash to stop flashing since they
thought this was a problem... DUH they deal with these cars all the
time and didn't even know this was normal????
Thanks for nay help...
