The photo you showed is the PIN to disable valet mode (i.e. to remove valet restrictions). This is not a code that you will give to valet.
Actually, having just read it again I think we're both wrong. It is to enable Valet Mode and lock the valet out of the Sync controls.

You are right, though, it is not the code you give the valet. That must be another screen -- probably given after you enable Valet Mode.

I have a version of valet mode in my Kuga. Once set it restricts what the valet can and can't do but he/she doesn't need to enter a code. They just use your key as normal. When you get the car back you enter the PIN you set to unlock valet mode and return to normal. I also have MyKey system. I can set parameters for the spare key, ie sound volume, speed limits amongst other things so I can give that restricted key to anyone else. Have tried both systems when leaving car at the airport.
