Important Information
1. Use a voltmeter. DO NOT USE A TEST LIGHT! Test lights have a current drain that
will damage the vehicle’s onboard computer or could trigger the air bag.
2. Keep extension, if needed, as short as possible. Use same-gauge wire for extensions.
3. DO NOT mount components nor route wires near hot or moving vehicle parts.
NOTE: Clifford Electronics’ web site for Authorized Clifford Dealers has
detailed descriptions of wire colors and locations for most foreign and
domestic vehicles. See www.clifforddealers.com for assistance 24-hours per
day or refer to the latest quarterly Tech Support Database CD-ROM.

Modes: Dealer Mode, Sleep Mode, Customer Mode
There are three modes to provide the utmost flexibility for expediters and new vehicle dealers:
1. Select a mounting area, but do not affix the control unit until wiring and testing is complete.
2. Plug in the receiver module. Do not fold or make sharp bends in the cable or antenna wire.
For maximum range, mount the receiver module away from the control unit and run the
antenna up the window pillar and affix it to the windshield about an inch from the roofline.
Ignition & Starter
1. Find the wire in the steering column or ignition switch wireloom that shows +12V throughout
BOTH the cranking AND engine running cycles, and 0 volts when the ignition is off.
2. Connect the WHITE/BROWN wire to the ignition line.
3. Find the wire that shows +12V during the cranking cycle ONLY.
4. Cut it and connect a WHITE/RED wire to each side of the cut wire.
LED & Valet Switch Assembly
1. Select an underdash area to mount the assembly where there is clearance for the screws
and will position the LED so it is visible through the windows.
2. Mate the assembly’s connector to the control unit connector of the same colors.
NOTE: The GRAY & BLACK wire 2-pin connector isnot used on the Level TWO.

Door Trigger
g
Door triggers on most vehicles are negative. To verify polarity:
1. Find the one wire off the rear of the door switch that shows +12 volts when the switch is
pressed in and 0 volts when released. This is a negative trigger door wire.
2. If you can’t find such a wire, find the one wire that shows 0 volts when the switch is
pressed in and +12 volts when released. This is a positive trigger door wire.
3. Connect the system’s thin GRAY wire to the door wire.
NOTE: If the vehicle has positive-switching door trigger, you must set the
system for positive triggering after power-up (installer programming grid
column 2, row 3).
Optional Interior Light Illumination
This requires an optional relay.
1. Make the optional relay connections shown in the illustration on page 2.
a. For vehicles with negative triggering door switches, connect terminal 87 to ground.
b. If positive door trigger, connect terminal 87 to the system’s 5-amp-fused RED wire.
Optional Door Lock/Unlock
This may require optional relays.
WARNING: If the power door
locks do not operate properly
when the system is armed and
disarmed, DO NOT USE THE
VEHICLE’S DOOR LOCK SWITCH!
Permanent damage to the
control unit or to the car ’s
electrical system and lock servos
will result. For assistance, call
the Clifford Technical Support
Hotline at 800-444-4667.

1. Connect the GRAY/YELLOW wire to the negative-switching trunk pin switch.
Auxiliary A Output
The Auxiliary A output (GRAY/VIOLET wire) is activated by pressing the ✱ or Opt button
on the remote control. This output is preprogrammed to operate only when the system is
disarmed (e.g., for use as a remote trunk release). It can also be used as the secondary unlock
line if wiring the door locks for 2-stage unlocking (see the previous Door Locks section).
The factory setting is pulsed output (1 second ground). Interlock is on (operates only if the
system is disarmed and the ignition is off). Current is limited to 0.15 amp.
After power-up, see Installer-Programmable Features on pages 9-10 to change the type of
output and/or turn the trunk interlock off or on.
NOTE: The GRAY/BLUE wire is not used on the Level 2 system.
Optional Engine Compartment Connections
Optional Siren
Mount the siren in the engine compartment away from hot or moving parts and where it
cannot be reached from under the vehicle. Point downward to avoid water collection.
1. Firmly secure the siren to the engine bay firewall or a fender well.
2. Connect the YELLOW wire to the siren’s BLACK ground input.
3. Connect the siren’s RED wire to the system’s 5-amp pre-fused RED wire or directly to the
vehicle battery positive terminal via a separate 5-amp fuse.
4. After power-up, program the horn/siren output for siren (factory setting is for horn).

Table of Installer-Programmable Features: 1 beep = OFF, 2 beeps = ON
The following checklist will assure that you have installed the Level FOUR correctly. Each
successive step requires that the previous step has been completed as indicated.
NOTE: If you are still having trouble after performing the following steps,
please call Clifford Technical Support Services at 1-800-444-4667.
Step 1: Test the immobilization circuit.
Arm the system by pressing the LOCK button on the Dealer Master remote (note: there are
no arm/disarm beep confirmations in Dealer Mode [see page 3]) from inside the vehicle and
wait 10 seconds. Turn the ignition to the “START” position.
WARNING: If the doors do not lock, DO NOT activate the vehicle’s lock
switches. Doing so may damage the control unit, the vehicle’s electrical
system and/or the power lock servo motors.
Step 11: Test the optional Dual-Zone Piezo Sensor.
Arm, wait 90 seconds, then tap the car softly with your fist. The following should occur:
n
Hornbeepsfivetimes.
Hit the car firmly with your fist. The following should occur:
n
Alarmtriggers.
If either of these test fail, adjust the sensor using the adjustment knob and retest. Keep in
mind that the sensor does not come online until about 70 seconds after arming.
Step 12: Adhere the Clifford window decals to the vehicle’s front windows.
Step 13: Test optional accessories.
Testing optional accessories, such as the IntelliStart 4 remote engine starting accessory, will
require temporary addition of a Customer Care Kit remote control. When testing is complete,
reprogram the master remote control into the system. This clears out the codes of any
Customer Care Kit remote controls and returns the system to Dealer Mode.
