conditions where the ABS and Transmission will be
operating in their STREET settings, which cannot be
changed while in this mode. The Steering (electric
power steering — if equipped) assist and Suspension

ured to either the STREET, SPORT or TRACK settings
within this mode. Steering wheel mounted paddle
shifters may be enabled or disabled while in this mode
as well.
• VALET MODE — To enter this mode the operator
must select it from the Drive Modes interface and enter

STARTING AND OPERATING 75

While in Valet Mode the following vehicle configura-
tions are set and locked to prevent unauthorized
modification:
• Engine limited to a lowest power output state.
• Transmission locks out access to first gear and shifts
earlier than normal.
• Traction, Steering and Suspension are forced to
STREET settings.
• Steering wheel mounted paddle shifters are disabled.
• The SRT Drive Modes are not available. Pushing the
SRT button will display the unlock keypad.
• The ESC Off button is disabled.

•
To exit VALET Mode the operator must enter the same
four digit PIN that was used to enter the mode. The
unlock keypad can be accessed by either pushing the

Uconnect touchscreen.
• The vehicle will restart with VALET active if VALET
was active when the vehicle was last shut down.
• Eco (Automatic Transmission only) — Eco modifies
the vehicle’s engine and transmission settings to pro-
vide improved fuel economy at a trade-off with accel-
eration performance. Increased engine exhaust noise
and/or vibration may be noticed while Eco is active,
this is normal and will not damage the vehicle.
NOTE: Changing the Drive Mode will deactivate Eco.
