important information

Congratulations on the purchase of your state-of-the-art vehicle

security remote start system. It has been designed to provide years of

trouble-free operation. This system must be installed by an authorized

dealer. Installation of this product by anyone other than an authorized

dealer voids the warranty. As verification of authorization, all autho-

rized dealers are provided with preprinted dealer certificates.

In order to maximize the use of this system, please review this owner's

guide carefully prior to using your system. You can print additional or

replacement copies of this owner’s guide by accessing the Clifford web-

site at www.clifford.com.

system maintenance

The system requires no specific maintenance. Your transmitter is powered by two miniature 3V lithium batteries that will last approximately one year under normal use. When the batteries weaken, operating range will be reduced and the system will provide a low battery warning chirp indication when disarming.

your warranty

Make sure you receive the warranty registration from your dealer. It is also necessary to keep your proof of purchase, which reflects that the product was installed by an authorized dealer.

transmitter functions

This system uses computer-based code learning to learn the transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any transmitter button to any system function. The transmitter initially comes programmed with standard configuration, but may also be customized using the CliffNet Wizard PC program. The buttons in all of the instructions in this manual correspond to a standard configuration transmitter.

warning! Operation of the remote start module if the the vehicle starts in gear is contrary to its intended mode of operation. Operating the remote start system under these conditions may result in property damage or personal injury. Immediately cease the use of the unit and repair or disconnect the installed remote start module. Clifford will not be held responsible or pay for installation or reinstallation costs.

using your system

The buttons used in the instructions in this manual correspond to the

standard transmitter configuration. If your transmitter has been custom

configured, the icons on your transmitter buttons may not correspond

to the indicated functions.

arming with transmitter

You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing on your trans-

mitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear two short

siren sounds, or chirps, and see the parking lights flash twice. The LED

will begin to flash steadily. If the vehicle’s power door locks have been

connected to the system, the doors will lock.

While the system is armed, the LED status indicator will flash approxi-

mately once per second showing that the system is actively protecting

your vehicle. If you hear more than two chirps when arming, refer to

the Diagnostics section of this guide. These extra chirps confirm a mal-

function autobypass.

arming without transmitter

The security system also can be programmed to arm itself without a

transmitter (called passive arming). If the system is programmed for pas-

sive arming, it will automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition is

turned off and the system sees you leave the vehicle by opening and

closing a door. The siren will chirp twice and the lights will flash twice

five seconds after the last door has been closed. The system is not actu-

ally armed at that point. The system arms and the doors lock (if con-

nected and programmed for passive locking) at 30 seconds, but the

siren will not chirp. The early chirps provide you with a 25-second

warning prior to arming.

When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows:

The LED will flash as a visible theft deterrent.

Light impacts will trigger the Warning Zone signal. When triggered, the siren will sound for a few seconds.

Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The triggered sequence is 30, 60, or 90 seconds of constant siren sounding and flashing parking lights.

If a protected entry (door, hood, or trunk) is opened, the system will immediately trigger the siren and flash the parking lights.

Digital dual zone radar sensor will protect the interior of the vehicle and it’s contents with an invisible perimeter of protection.

The 507T tilt/motion sensor will trigger the system with transmitter, if an attempt is made to steal the vehicle by towing.

disarming

To disarm the system, press . You will hear a chirp and the parking lights will flash once. If the power locks are connected to the system, the doors will unlock. If the siren chirps three times when disarming, refer to the Diagnostics section of this guide. This is called Tamper

nnoottee::

If any protected entry point (a door or a switch-protected trunk or hood) is open, the system will not passively arm. Additionally, each time a protected entry is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.

Alert. If the siren is active when the system is disarmed you will hear two chirps but the system is not disarmed. (Refer to the Remote Siren Silencing section of this guide.) However, if the alarm completes the full trigger cycle when disarmed you will hear three chirps.

disarming without a transmitter

This feature allows you to disarm the system without the transmitter

should it be lost, damaged, or disabled. In order to disarm without a

transmitter, you must have the vehicle’s ignition key, know where the

PlainView 2 Valet switch is located, and have the PIN code. Be sure to

check with the installer for the location of the PlainView 2 Valet switch.

Please refer to the Disarm/Valet Mode section of this guide for instruc-

tions to enter the pin code.

remote siren silencing

This system offers remote siren silencing. Remote siren silencing is a feature that makes it possible to silence and reset the system when it is triggering without disarming the system. If the system is triggered and the siren has been sounding, press on the transmitter to stop the trigger and return the unit to the armed state. This prevents you from disabling the system should you wish to silence it without visually checking the vehicle. After resetting the system, press again to disarm the system.

transmitter chirp muting

To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use transmitter chirp

muting. Simply press on the transmitter, and the confirmation

chirp(s) will be eliminated for that one operation only. The parking

lights will flash to confirm the arm/disarm command. If you want the

arm/disarm chirps turned off permanently, please refer to the User-

Selectable Features section of this guide.

transmitter sensor disable

To temporarily disable a sensor input, arm the system, press

twice and then . The lights will flash four times and

all sensor warn away zones are bypassed. Press the buttons again; the

lights flash four times and both warn away and full trigger sensor zones

are bypassed until the system is disarmed. This can be performed any-

time the system is armed.

1. Arm the system.

2. Press twice and then .

3. The lights will flash four times; all warn away zones are now bypassed.

4. Transmit the sensor bypass channel again.

5. The lights will flash four more times; the sensor warn away and full trigger zones are now bypassed.

6. The sensor zones will reset when disarmed.

intellistart and smartwindows sensor bypass

When the system sees a command to start the vehicle via the Intellistart, it bypasses all sensors and will continue to bypass these sensors until the remote start shuts down.

When the system sees a SmartWindows command for up or down operation, the unit will automatically bypass all sensors until the windows complete their operation.

auxiliary channel bypass

All sensor will be bypassed while a pulsed or timed auxiliary output channel is active.

panic mode with smart door locking

If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract attention by triggering the system with your transmitter! Just press for two seconds to enter Panic Mode. The siren will sound and the parking lights will flash for the programmed duration. If the ignition is on, the doors will lock; if the ignition is off, the doors will unlock. To stop Panic Mode at any time press on the transmitter again.
