User-Selectable AutoLock and AutoUnLock™
For safety, the power door locks automatically lock the instant you turn on the ignition. When you turn
the ignition off, they automatically unlock (some vehicles are incompatible with these features).
Smart prior intrusion attempt alert
If you hear 3 beeps when you disarm instead of the usual 1 beep, it means that the alarm sounded while
you were away. Approach with caution.

is ajar when you remotely arm, youll hear the usual 2 beeps, then, 5 seconds later, there will be
4 more beeps (this warning is not possible on vehicles that have delayed or dimming courtesy lights).

This passive arming feature can be turned on (it is factory turned off) to automatically arm and lock
30 seconds after exiting if you forget to use the remote. For programming instructions, call Clifford
