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

security 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 authorized 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 website at www.clifford.com.

system maintenance

The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote

control is powered by a small, lightweight 3-volt lithium battery

that will last approximately one year under normal use. When the

battery weakens, operating range will be reduced and the LED on

the remote will dim.

your warranty

Your warranty registration must be completely filled out and

returned within 10 days of purchase. Your product warranty

will not be validated if your warranty registration is not returned.

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.

The receiver uses computer-based code learning to learn the

transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any trans-

mitter button to any receiver function. The transmitter initially

comes programmed with Standard Configuration, but may also

be customized by an authorized dealer. The buttons in all of the

instructions in this manual correspond to a Standard

Configuration transmitter.

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

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

transmitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear

a short siren sound, or chirp, and see the parking lights flash

once. 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

approximately once per second, indicating that the system is

actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after

arming, and see the LED status indicator flashing in groups, refer

to the Diagnostics section of this guide. This extra chirp is called

Bypass Notification.

➜

The system also can be programmed to arm itself automatically

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

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. Whenever the system is in its 30-

second passive-arming countdown, the LED status indicator will

flash twice as fast as it does when the system is armed. The siren

will chirp once 20 seconds after the last door has been closed.

The system is not actually armed at that point. The system arms

and the doors lock (if connected and programmed for passive

locking) at 30 seconds, but the siren will not chirp. The early

chirp provides you with a 10-second warning prior to arming.

When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows:

➤➤

Light impacts will trigger the Warning Zone signal. When

triggered, the siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash

for a few seconds.

➤➤

Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The triggered

sequence is between 1-180 seconds of constant siren and

flashing parking lights.

➤➤

If a vehicle door is opened, the security system will immedi-

ately start chirping the siren and flashing the parking lights.

note: If any protected entry point (such as a door or a switchprotected trunk or hood) is open, the system will not passively arm (unless forced passive arming is programmed on.) See Programming Options section of this guide. Additionally, each time a sensor is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.

Three seconds later, the siren output changes to a continuous

blast. This progressive response gives you time to disarm the

security system with your transmitter if you inadvertently

open the door while the system is armed, while still

providing an instant response (even if the door is immediate-

ly closed).

➤➤

Turning on the ignition key will trip the same two-stage

response as opening a door.

➤➤

The optional starter interrupt prevents the vehicle’s starter

from cranking.

multi-level security arming (optional feature)

Multi-Level Security Arming allows you to select which of the

security system's inputs or sensors will be active and which will

be bypassed at the time that the system is armed. (See Table of

Zones section.) Pressing the arm button again within five

seconds of arming the security system will activate the Multi-

Level Security Arming feature. Each time the arm button is

pressed again, a different security level is selected. The different

security levels can be selected as follows:

➤➤

Pressing the arm button one time: The siren chirps once.

The system is armed.

note: Multi-Level Security Arming is only available when using an optional 4-button Radar Master transmitter that has been configured with separate transmitter buttons for arming and disarming.

➜

➤➤

Pressing the arm button a second time within five seconds:

The siren chirps twice followed by a long chirp. Zone Two is

now bypassed.

➤➤

Pressing the arm button a third time within five seconds:

The siren chirps three times followed by a long chirp. Zone

Four is now bypassed.

➤➤

Pressing the arm button a fourth time within five seconds:

The siren chirps four times followed by a long chirp. Zones

Two and Four are now bypassed.

➤➤

Pressing the arm button a fifth time within five seconds: The

siren chirps five times followed by a long chirp. All input

zones, except the ignition, are now bypassed.

arming while driving

Your system can be armed while driving the vehicle! Simply press

on your transmitter for 1.5 seconds while the vehicle is

running or while the ignition is on. The siren will chirp once and

then once more to indicate that the ignition is on. The security

system will not respond to any input except the door triggers and

the starter interrupt relay (if installed) will not be activated. The

system will disarm automatically whenever the ignition is turned

off. The siren will chirp twice and the LED will stop flashing.

➜

note: Multi-Level Security Arming only applies to a single arming cycle. Once the system is disarmed and then re-armed, all the zones will be active again.
