How to reset valet mode L358

When your L358 car alarm system enters Valet Mode, it disables key security features like automatic locking, alarm triggering, and remote start. This mode is typically activated during vehicle servicing or maintenance to prevent accidental alarm triggers. However, if Valet Mode remains active, your vehicle won’t be fully protected. In this guide, AutoExPlain will walk you through how to reset Valet Mode on an L358 system step by step, ensuring your car’s security functions return to normal. Whether you’ve lost your remote, forgotten the override process, or are seeing the warning LED blink continuously — this guide has you covered.

What Is Valet Mode and Why Should You Reset It?

Valet Mode is a special security setting in car alarm systems like the L358, designed to temporarily disable certain alarm functions. It’s commonly used when handing your car over to a valet, technician, or service center — allowing them to drive or access the vehicle without triggering the alarm system or using remote start.

While convenient, Valet Mode limits the full functionality of your security system. Key features such as automatic door locking, shock sensor alerts, or remote engine start are disabled. If left on unintentionally, your vehicle becomes more vulnerable to theft or unauthorized access.

That’s why it’s important to reset Valet Mode as soon as the service or temporary handover is complete. Restoring full security ensures that all safety and alarm functions are back in operation, keeping your vehicle properly protected.

Tools Required To Reset Valet Mode On L358

• Diagnostic Software: SDD (Symptom Driven Diagnostics) – Official Jaguar/Land Rover software for service functions.
• Diagnostic Interface: VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) – Use a compatible interface such as: JLR VCI (DoIP)
• Laptop/PC: Running Windows 7 or 10
