Standard Features of the ACE 300

✔ 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 — One of many patented Clifford

innovations, FACT absolutely, positively ends recurring false alarms.

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

✔ 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 ACE 300

and locks your car’s power locks. Another press disarms and unlocks.

User-Selectable AutoLock/AutoUnLock™

— Automatically locks the doors the

instant you start the engine, and unlocks the doors when you park.

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.

✔

Built-In Parking Light Flasher

— Visually confirms door lock and system status.

Standard Features of the ACE 300

✔ Remote Controlled Courtesy Lighting — For your personal safety and

(cont.)

convenience, when you remotely disarm your ACE 300, the interior lights turn on and stay on until you start the engine or 30 seconds, whichever occurs first.

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

or remote controlled chirp muting whenever you wish.

✔ Enhanced User-Selectable AutoArming™— Automatically arms itself

“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.

Instant AutoArm Bypass — Just two 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.

✔ All Electronic Piezo Sensor— An all-electronic vibration/impact sensor that

delivers the utmost reliability and provides more accurate discrimination between genuine intrusion attempts and non-threatening conditions (like a large truck passing by) that cause other sensors to false alarm.

✔ Patented Smart AutoTesting™—Automatically tests all system triggers and

sensors every time you remotely arm and warns you if you accidentally arm your ACE 300 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 300 will automatically bypass the malfunction and arm all other points to continue relentless protection of your vehicle.
