What effect does the Valet drive mode control have on the engine?

Valet drive mode control is designed primarily for situations where the vehicle is being driven by someone other than the owner, such as when parking in a public area or handing over the keys to a valet service. The primary objective of this mode is to limit the vehicle's performance capabilities to prevent reckless driving or abuse.

When activated, the Valet mode reduces horsepower and torque significantly, making the vehicle less responsive and thereby improving safety when someone less familiar with its power may be driving it. This is intended to help protect the vehicle from potential misuse and ensures that the person driving it cannot access the full capabilities of the engine. By restricting engine output, Valet mode effectively controls the performance characteristics of the vehicle, making it safer for use by a wider range of drivers.

While other options may offer enhancements related to performance or efficiency, Valet mode specifically focuses on reducing the vehicle's power output.
