ABSTRACT:
A vehicle security system includes a controller for performing a function responsive to receipt of a corresponding command signal, and a remote transmitter for sending a command signal from a plurality of banks of command signals. More particularly, the remote transmitter includes a plurality of first momentary contact switches for transmitting a first respective command signal responsive to depressing the switch for less than a first time and for transmitting a second respective command signal responsive to depressing the switch for more than the first time. The remote transmitter also includes a bank selector switch for selecting one of the plurality of banks of command signals. A valet switch is included for placing the controller in a valet mode, such as to permit a service technician or valet to use the vehicle without triggering an alarm. The controller permits switching to the valet mode responsive to activating the valet switch whether the ignition switch is on or off and the controller is in the disarmed mode. Method aspects of the invention are also disclosed.
