Subaru Ascent 2018-2026 Owner's Manual: Valet Mode

Subaru Ascent 2018-2026 Owner's Manual / Instruments and controls / Valet Mode

When handing over your Subaru Ascent to a valet service, such as at a hotel, restaurant, or parking facility, you can activate Valet Mode to restrict access to sensitive vehicle systems. This feature temporarily disables navigation, audio controls, and vehicle settings, ensuring that personal data and preferences stored in the Subaru Ascent remain protected.

By limiting access to key functions, Valet Mode in the Subaru Ascent acts as an additional layer of privacy and security, preventing unauthorized interaction with the infotainment system and safeguarding personal information.

If an incorrect passcode is entered three consecutive times while activating or deactivating Valet Mode in the Subaru Ascent, a notification advising you to contact a SUBARU dealer will appear. However, you can still attempt to enter the correct passcode afterward.

If the passcode is forgotten, it is recommended to contact an authorized SUBARU dealer for assistance.
