Default how to put my honda civic 1998 in Valet mode?

Hello guys,
I have been doing alot of research lately.
I want to put my car in valet mode.
I think that it has been draining my battery.
I had to get my battery replaced another day.

My car has an aftermarket radio too. I don't know where is the stock radio box.
My car has an aftermarket alarm system by: Pursuit
I am not sure which model it is,
however, my key model is:ELVAT5B
Remote Key: Audiovox / Prestige / Pursuit / Pro FCC ID: ELVAT5B
Compatible Vehicles
PRO9242
PRO9244
PRO9246R
PRO9249
PRO9249R
PRO9250N
PRO9342
PRO9344
PRO9349FT
PRO9445FT

I found one of the instruction online saying to turn off the valet mode, you have to find the value switch first.
here is the link I found
Operating Instructions for the Pursuit PRO9244 Car Security System


Here is a possible instruction on how to turn on Valet mode on the system,
Valet / System Override Switch:
The "Valet" switch allows you to temporarily bypass all alarm functions, eliminating the need to hand your transmitter to parking attendants or garage mechanics. When the system is in valet mode, all alarm functions are bypassed, however, the remote panic feature and remote door locks (optional) will remain operational. To use the valet mode:
  1. Enter vehicle and turn the ignition key to the "on" position.
  2. Move the valet toggle switch to the "on" position. The dash mounted LED will turn on solid, and remain on as long as the system is in the valet mode.
  3. To return to normal operation, move the valet switch to the "off" position any time the ignition is on.
In the event you lose your keychain transmitter, or if the transmitter fails to disarm the system, the valet switch can be used as a system override switch. Open the car door (the alarm will sound). Turn the ignition key on, and move the valet switch to the "on" position. The alarm will stop sounding, and the vehicle can now be started.
Note: Always remember to move the Valet Switch back to the "off" position. This will ensure that the vehicle remains protected at all times.


I'm not good at cars, however, one of my friends is, however, we could not find the valet switch.
We looked under the dashboard, and we looked at the fusebox, we did not find the valet switch.

I'm stuck, any help would be really appreciated.

thank you all.

Unfortunately, you'll have to locate the brain and verify if there is a valet switched plugged into it. If you brought it to an installer take it back there, if you bought the car with the alarm you're just gonna have to take some time out to locate the brain.

That would be a security issue as most installers don't usually post online where they mount the alarm brain. Best to start digging around under the dash. Be prepared to be cramped, have ample hrs to investigate, and take breaks inbetween.
