Car Alarms: Kia Optima alarm, valet mode, kia optima


Question
I have an 02 Kia Optima and my car alarm went off, after it stopped I have tried to start the car and it will not start, it does nothing.  The alarm has gone off now a couple times which it has never gone off in the 2 years I have owned it.  I disconnected the battery in hopes of trying to reset it but it wouldnt start still, and then went off again.

Answer
Ok, an installer would place the velet switch in a semi
hidden area. I'd look under the dash area
for a button or, a toggle switch. When you locate it,
turn on the ignition key, press and hold in the
button (little spring loaded micro button, red or
black possibly), until the alarm chirps 1 time.
This should over ride the system, and only the
keyless entry part, if installed, would still be
operating.

The LED (light emiting diode) light in the dash
should also go on solid.=VALET/OVERIDE

This stops the alarm except for the keyless
entry if installed. Once in Valet mode,
it will allow the car to start and operate
like there was no alarm at all.

The next step is if wanting to remove it,
you contact a local technician to
locate it, and affect neccesary service
for you.

That should solve the troubles.

Let me know what you discover.
