- 04
Select OK and confirm the display reports that Valet Mode is active.

Important limits
- Store the passcode securely; the guide does not provide a bypass for a forgotten code.
- Valet Mode limits multimedia and vehicle settings but is not a substitute for removing valuables.
- A facial-scan restoration prompt applies only when the vehicle has the corresponding Driver Monitoring equipment.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the Valet Mode tile is missing, confirm the vehicle has the 11.6-inch multimedia system.
- ✓If the passcode is rejected, check the exact code created in General settings or the subscribed MySubaru app.
- ✓If settings remain restricted after exit, return to the Valet Mode tile and complete every confirmation prompt.
