I leave my car (2016 WRX) at a "valet" airport parkinglot when on buisness travel. I typically just take my key off its chain and leave it with them.
Is there any advantage leaving them the "sub key" or putting the car in "valet mode"?
I checked the manual, the sub key is only named there is no other mention of it. There are instructions for putting the car in Valet Mode but only a vague description that seems to indicate the alarm is disabled.
It would be nice if the valet mode limited performance or something in the off chance the Valet decides to ferris Bueller my car.:drive2:

I guess I could go out in the driveway and experiment...Valet mode
When you choose the valet mode, the alarm system does not operate. In valet mode, the access key/remote transmitter is used only for locking and unlocking the doors and for panic activation.
To enter the valet mode, change the setting of your vehicle’s alarm system for deactivation mode. Refer to “Activating and deactivating the alarm system” F2- 26. The security indicator light will con- tinue to flash once every 3 seconds indicating that the system is in the valet mode.
To exit valet mode, change the setting of your vehicle’s alarm system for activation mode. Refer to “Activating and deactivat- ing the alarm system” F2-26.
