Standard Features of the ACE 500

✔ Lifetime Warranty —For as long as you own the vehicle, Clifford will

repair or replace the control unit and remote controls free of charge (see warranty card for full details).

✔

FACT™—False Alarm Control and Test

innovations, FACT

✔ A Pair of 4-Button/12-Channel Remote Controls —Fingertip command

absolutely, positively ends recurring false alarms.

— One of many patented Clifford

from a typical range of 100 feet.

✔ Anti-CodeGrabbing™ (ACG) with Random Code Encryption— A

code-grabber is a new device that lets a thief record and capture off the air from a distance the digital code transmitted by your remote control whenever you arm your car. When you leave, the thief replays the code to disarm the alarm and unlock your car’s doors. ACG with Random Code Encryption makes thieves’ code-grabbers completely useless, because each time you press the button on your remote control a different random code is transmitted, yet the system will flawlessly recognize and respond to your transmitter’s new code and ignore all others.

✔

Full-Time Remote Panic with Automatic Door Locking and Unlocking

— If you feel threatened, you can, with just a fingertip touch on your remote control, sound the siren, flash the parking lights and unlock your vehicle’s power door locks for quick entry into your car without fumbling with your keys. If you press the panic button while driving, the siren will sound, the lights will flash and the doors will lock to shield you from the assailant.

✔ Remote Controlled Valet Mode— You can command the system to enter

or exit valet mode with just a press of button from 100 feet away. Parking light flashes confirm valet mode entry and exit.

✔ Dual-Sensor Protection— A Proximity Sensor™ detects movement within

the passenger compartment, while a Piezo Sensor™ detects intrusion-related vibrations and impacts.

✔ Dual-Mode Chirp Silencing— Your choice of either long-term chirp

silencing or remote controlled chirp muting whenever you wish.

Standard Features of the ACE 500

✔ QuietChirp™— You may choose to lower the volume of the arm and

(cont.)

disarm chirps to a level that is clearly audible but less obtrusive that the full-volume chirps.

✔

Remote Door Locking and Unlocking

—

No more fumbling with keys in the

dark or bad weather! A press of a button on the remote simultaneously

arms your system and locks your vehicle’s power locks. Another press disarms and unlocks.

User-Selectable AutoLock/AutoUnLock™ — Automatically locks the

doors the instant you turn on the ignition to start the engine, and unlocks the doors when you turn off the engine.

Deluxe Remote Keyless Entry in Valet Mode

— Use your remote control to lock and unlock the car doors and remotely activate system accessories even while the system is in valet mode.

✔ Remote Controlled Courtesy Lighting — For your personal safety and

convenience, when you remotely disarm your ACE 500, the interior lights turn on and stay on until you start the engine or 30 seconds, whichever occurs first.

✔

Built-In Parking Light Flasher

— Visually confirms door lock and system

status.

✔ Remote Headlight Activation Capability— Remotely turn on the

headlights to illuminate your way to and from your vehicle (requires an optional relay).

✔ Headlight Reminder — If you park and forget to turn off the headlights,

your ACE 500 reminds you to turn them off before you leave the vehicle.

✔

Remote Window/Sunroof Closure Capability

— On certain vehicles (including several models of Mercedes Benz, Jaguar, Volkswagen and BMW), the system’s integrated channel 6 timer and an optional relay can be used to automatically close the power windows and sunroof every time you remotely arm your ACE 500.

✔ High-Output Six-Sound Siren — Six different alarm sound patterns to draw

even more attention. You may set the siren wail for either 30 or 60 seconds. The system then automatically resets and rearms itself.

Standard Features of the ACE 500

✔ Enhanced User-Selectable AutoArming™— Automatically arms itself

(cont.)

“passively” if you forget. May qualify you for an insurance discount that could pay for the system (consult your insurance company).

AutoArming Enable/Disable — You may disable or re-enable

AutoArming with just a few flicks of a switch.

AutoArm & Lock™ — You may set the system to automatically lock the

doors every time the system AutoArms.

Visual Indication — Two parking lights flashes signal that the

30-second countdown to AutoArming has started.

Instant AutoArm Bypass — Just two a quick turns of the ignition switch

will bypass AutoArming for one cycle — perfect when fueling the vehicle. The AutoArming feature is automatically restored the next time you park your vehicle.

✔ Smart Remote Trunk Release Capability — An electronic interlock assures

that the optional remote trunk release can be activated only when the system is disarmed. To further prevent any possibility of unintentional opening of the trunk, the interlock also makes sure that the trunk release cannot be remotely activated while driving.

✔

Patented Smart AutoTesting™

—Automatically tests all system triggers and sensors every time you remotely arm and warns you if you accidentally arm your ACE 500 system with the hood or trunk open. If there is a genuine trigger or sensor malfunction, the system will specifically identify the problem, thereby eliminating time-consuming and costly trouble-shooting.

✔ Patented Malfunction AutoBypass™ —In the unlikely event of a trigger or

sensor malfunction, your ACE 500 will automatically bypass the malfunction and arm all other points to continue relentless protection of your vehicle.

✔ TotalRecall™— ACE 500’s memory stores the identity of the last trigger

or sensor activated. This provides an invaluable diagnostic means, since, whenever you wish, the system will visually identify the last activated trigger or sensor.
