Keep Performance Limited.
Valet Mode is designed for situations where another person needs to drive the vehicle but the owner wants a restricted performance profile. When enabled, the DME uses the maximum vehicle speed, engine speed and torque limits configured in the MG Flasher app.
It is a performance-restriction feature, not an immobilizer. The vehicle remains driveable within the configured limits, making the feature suitable for valet parking, service movement or other controlled hand-over scenarios.
Engine Speed Limit
Restrict the maximum engine RPM available to the temporary driver.
Torque Limit
Reduce available engine torque using the value configured in the app.
Owner Warning
If a configured limit is exceeded, the system records a flag and warns the owner through the blinking CEL.
How It WorksThree Limits.
Three Limits.
One Restricted Profile.
The configured limits work together while Valet Mode is active. The DME continues to operate the vehicle, but restricts performance according to the values prepared in the MG Flasher app.
Limit
Maximum Vehicle Speed
Restricts how fast the vehicle can travel while Valet Mode is enabled.
Limit
Maximum Engine Speed
Restricts how high the engine can rev under the Valet Mode configuration.
Limit
Maximum Torque
Reduces available engine torque to create a calmer, lower-output driving profile.
Configured in the app
The Custom Code Menu and Live Control toggle Valet Mode ON or OFF. The speed, RPM and torque values themselves are prepared through the compatible MG Flasher Custom Code configuration.
Owner NotificationKnow When a Limit
Know When a Limit
Has Been Exceeded.
If the driver exceeds a configured Valet Mode speed, RPM or torque limit, the DME sets an exceeded-limit flag. The Check Engine Light continues to blink until Valet Mode is disabled, including through a vehicle power cycle.
Once the flag has been set, MG Flasher documentation states that the ECU maps out a lowered power and torque curve. This gives the owner a visible indication that the configured restrictions were exceeded.
Persistent Warning
Limit Exceeded Flag
1A configured speed, RPM or torque limit is exceeded.

The CEL Confirms the State.
Valet Mode uses the combined instrument-cluster logic of the OEM tachometer and Check Engine Light. The tachometer identifies the Valet Mode submenu or its ON/OFF value, while the CEL distinguishes menu confirmation from an exceeded-limit warning.

CompatibilityAvailability Depends
Availability Depends
on Your Custom Code.
Valet Mode availability depends on the vehicle, ECU software, installed Custom Code version and whether the feature is enabled in the active configuration. Check the MG Flasher app before assuming support.
Supported ECU Software
The ECU software must support a compatible Custom Code release containing Valet Mode.
Feature Enabled
The active Custom Code configuration must have Valet Mode enabled before app controls are available.
Current App Controls
Live Control and Custom Code Diagnostics list Valet Mode for compatible Custom Code v7.1+ configurations.
When to Use ItTemporary Access.
Temporary Access.
Reduced Performance.
Valet Mode can be useful whenever another driver needs controlled access to the vehicle.
Valet Parking
Limit performance before handing the vehicle to a parking attendant.
Workshop Movement
Create a restricted profile when the vehicle only needs to be moved around a facility.
Temporary Driver
Reduce accessible speed, RPM and torque when lending the vehicle to another person.
Important
Valet Mode restricts performance but does not replace secure key handling, an immobilizer, legal responsibility or safe supervision. Configure limits appropriately for the vehicle and intended use.
FAQ
Valet Mode FAQ.
Common questions about MG Flasher Valet Mode On-The-Fly.
What does MG Flasher Valet Mode limit?
Compatible configurations can limit maximum vehicle speed, maximum engine speed and engine torque.
Can I enable Valet Mode without reflashing?
Yes. On supported configurations, Valet Mode can be toggled through Live Control, Custom Code Menu or Custom Code Diagnostics.
What happens if a Valet Mode limit is exceeded?
The ECU sets an exceeded-limit flag, the CEL continues to blink until Valet Mode is disabled and the ECU maps out a lowered power and torque curve.
Does the warning remain after restarting the car?
Yes. The documentation states that the exceeded-limit warning continues through a power cycle until Valet Mode is disabled.
Why does the tachometer show 7K RPM?
7K is the Valet Mode position in the Custom Code Menu. It identifies the submenu and is not an automatic engine-speed activation threshold.
How do I enable Valet Mode in the Custom Code Menu?
Enter the CCM, navigate to 7K, confirm the submenu, select 0 RPM for Disabled or 1K RPM for Enabled, then confirm.
Does every MG Flasher vehicle support Valet Mode?
No. Availability depends on the vehicle, ECU software, Custom Code version and active configuration. Check compatibility in the MG Flasher app.
Is Valet Mode an immobilizer?
No. It restricts vehicle performance within the configured limits but does not prevent the vehicle from being driven.
