Maintenance

Your Clifford system requires no maintenance except for periodic replacement of the remote control batteries. This product, like any electrical device in your vehicle, requires your car battery be in proper working order and fully charged. To ensure proper operation, periodically have your vehicle battery “load-checked” at any local garage/mechanic. Also make sure the battery cables and connections are tight and free from corrosion.

Welcome to the world of high-technology vehicle security and convenience

ongratulations on the purchase of your Clifford Electronics mobile security/convenience system. Clifford Electronics has long been recognized as the leading manufacturer of high-technology vehicle security systems. Our commitment to technological innovation, quality and reliability is clearly evident

in your Clifford system. Yet despite all its sophistication, your system is amazingly easy to use, never more difficult than a few presses of a button.

BlackJax vehicle recovery/anti-carjacking feature

IntelliGuard Millennia’s BlackJax feature provides a safe and effective means of recovering your vehicle after a theft or carjacking. In a carjacking situation, the sooner you are out of the car the better. Don’t resist or take anything with you, just get out and get away. The instant the car door is opened, your IntelliGuard Millennia takes charge. First it allows the carjacker to drive a short distance, ensuring your safety. Then it repeatedly flashes the brake lights and continuously sounds the siren to caution nearby drivers and draw attention to your stolen vehicle. The system ignores the remote control at this point (since the carjacker most likely has it). Then when the carjacker slows for a turn or traffic, BlackJax safely shuts down the engine and prevents it from being restarted.

IntelliGuard Millennia assures the thief cannot restart the engine even if he were to find and remove the system control unit. Unable to restart the engine, and with your vehicle stalled in the middle of traffic — siren wailing and lights flashing — the carjacker has no choice but to abandon your car. (The same occurs to anyone who steals your parked car from you at a gas station or in a parking lot, which are the most common carjacking sites). To recover your vehicle, you simply walk a block or two to your car, enter your PIN (personal identification number) code, and the system releases control of the vehicle to you.

Your secret PIN code tells the system that the car is being driven by an authorized person. If you or a passenger opens and closes a car door at any point while the engine is running (as would occur in a carjacking attempt), you must again enter your secret code.

VERY IMPORTANT: The factory setting for the anti-carjacking feature is OFF. Once you are familiar with the

following, we suggest you turn this feature ON (see the User-selectable features section). When anti-carjacking is on, each time you begin driving you MUST enter your PIN code via the PlainView 2 switch on the dashboard or console (unless the system is in valet mode). You may turn this feature on or off any time.

Enable/disable the anti-carjacking feature

You may enable or disable the BlackJax anti-carjacking feature (see User-selectable features) or temporarily override it via the PlainView 2 Coded Valet Mode.

Your secret disarming PIN code

Unless the BlackJax anti-carjacking feature is turned off or the system is in valet mode, 20 seconds after you switch on the ignition and press the brake (or open and close a door while the engine is running), you must enter your secret disarming PIN code on the PlainView 2 switch (mounted on the dashboard or console) to let the system know it is you who is driving.

Your system’s factory-set PIN code is the single digit 2.

Entering a code

To enter your code, press the ✱ button the appropriate number of times on the PlainView 2 switch on the dashboard or console followed by the blank button. To enter a zero, you simply press the blank button.

EXAMPLE: To enter the factory-set code of 2, you would press and release the switch in this manner: ✱✱ blank.

EXAMPLE: To enter a code of 1203, you would press: ✱ blank, ✱✱ blank, blank, ✱✱✱ blank.

IMPORTANT: What you MUST do to drive your car

If you have the BlackJax feature turned on, until you set your own PIN code, you will use the factory-set default code of “2.” To drive your car, you must do the following:

1. Shut all doors, then start the engine.

2. Enter the factory-set disarming code of 2: ✱✱ blank (you may do this while driving, if you wish).

3. The dashboard LED will flash on for an instant to confirm proper code entry. You may now drive or continue driving the vehicle.

What you MUST do if you hear 5 siren chirps while driving

If you forget to enter your PIN code, the system will remind you 20 seconds after you begin driving by “chirping” the siren 5 times and flashing the LED. At this point, you have another 20 seconds to enter your PIN code. When entered, the LED will stop flashing and the siren will chirp once to audibly confirm proper code entry. If the proper code is not entered within 20 seconds after the 5-chirp signal, the engine will shut down as soon as you slow for traffic or a turn. You may enter your disarming code even after the engine is shut down. Once the proper disarming code is entered, you will be able to resume driving.

“Guessing” your code won’t help a carjacker

What if the carjacker is familiar with Clifford’s patented PlainView 2 coding system and tries guessing codes at random? No problem. After three incorrect codes are entered, the system will ignore any further code entries for a short time. So even if the carjacker were to actually stumble upon your code during this time, he would still not be able to silence your system or restart the engine.

How to set your own valet/disarming PIN code

Your secret valet/disarming PIN code will be used to deactivate BlackJax, enter valet mode and enter programming mode. You may choose any 1-4-digit PIN code, but the first digit must not be a zero (e.g., 1023 is a valid code, 0123 is not). See User-selectable features. Let’s say you want to set a PIN code of 4301:

1. From the Table of user-selectable features, you would note that the Set a new secret valet/disarming PIN code feature is in column 2, row 7.

2. Enter program mode by turning on the ignition, entering your current code, then pressing and holding the ✱ button of the PlainView 2 switch for 3 seconds until you hear a chirp.

3. Select column 2 by pressing the blank button twice. After a brief pause, you will hear 2 chirps to confirm that you have selected feature column 2.

4. Within 5 seconds, select row 7 by pressing and releasing the ✱ button 7 times. To help you count, you will hear a chirp each time you press the ✱ button. After 7 presses, immediately press the blank button, then immediately enter your new code.

Example: To enter 4301 as your new code, you would press the switch buttons in this manner: ✱✱✱✱ blank, ✱✱✱ blank, blank, ✱ blank.

5. Wait for the 2-chirp confirmation.

6. Turn off the ignition to exit program mode (you’ll hear a 3-chirp confirmation).

7. VERY IMPORTANT: You must immediately test your new valet/disarming PIN code: Turn on the ignition, enter your new code, then press and hold the blank button for 4 seconds. The LED will illuminate to indicate that the system is in valet mode. Turn the ignition off. The system is now in valet mode.

If the LED does not illuminate, the new code you programmed and the one you just entered do not match. In such a case, the system will revert to the previous code.

8. To exit valet mode and return to normal operation, turn the ignition on and enter your code.

Your remote controls

The 5-button master remote control and the 4-button companion remote are sophisticated miniature radio transmitters each powered by a tiny battery (12-volt alkaline for the master remote, a 3-volt lithium battery for the companion remote). A weak remote control battery will reduce range (the system will warn you if the battery in your remote is nearing the end of its useful life, see the Low battery warning section for details). Electrical/radio frequency interference, obstructions, weather conditions and even sunspots can interrupt the signal from your remote to the system.The remote controls are the keys to your system. But these remote controls are much more secure than car keys because each incorporates our ACG 2 (Anti-CodeGrabbing 2) technology with trillions of digital codes for the ultimate protection against remote control cloning devices. You will use your IntelliGuard Millennia remote control to arm and disarm the system, lock and unlock the doors, activate/deactivate the panic feature, enter/exit valet mode and command options such as a remote trunk release, power window control, electric garage door interface or even remote starting of the engine and heater or air conditioner, among other options.
