Clifford SE2020 Owners Guide
Using Your SE 2O2OX Security System
The 2-Button/3-Channel Remote Controls
Your two 2-button/3-channel remote controls are miniature radio transmitters that
send three distinct digital codes up to 150 feet. Obstructions, interference or a weak
battery will reduce the range. The remote control is the key to your security system.
Use it to arm or disarm the system, lock or unlock the doors, activate its panic
feature or control options such as a remote trunk release.

Press button I once. You will hear two chirps and the parking
lights will flash twice. The dashboard LED will flash repeatedly and the car doors will automatically lock. Any attempt to
break into the vehicle will immediately disable the starter,
sound the siren and flash the parking lights.
Press button I again. One chirp and one flash of the parking
lights will confirm disarming. In addition, the car doors will
automatically unlock.
Simultaneously press buttons I+II. The system will arm or disarm with all the indications noted above except the chirp acknowledgments.
Press button I for 3 seconds. The lights will flash repeatedly
and the siren will blare for 30 or 60 seconds (user-selectable),
or until you press button I again to turn it off.
Button II controls an optional accessory such as a remote
trunk release, SmartWindows II, the headlight activation feature of NightVision, the remote controlled voice-silencing feature of Sense & Tell, IntelliStart remote engine starter, your
electric garage door or a Clifford system on your second vehicle. Ask your dealer about these options.
What to Do If You Inadvertently Cause the Alarm to Sound
If you unintentionally alarm the system, just press button I on your remote control
or enable valet mode (see page 2) to disarm the system.

Enhanced AutoArming™
If you forget to remotely arm SE 2020X, it will arm itself automatically 30 seconds after the vehicle doors are closed. If you re-open any door(s) within the 30-second countdown, AutoArming will restart from the beginning once all doors are
closed. This ensures you’ll never accidentally leave your vehicle unprotected. SE
2020X includes all these Enhanced AutoArming features:
AutoArming Enable/Disable: If you prefer, you may, at any time, deactivate or
reactivate AutoArming. To do, see How to Set User-Selectable Features on
pages 6-7.
Visual Acknowledgment: Five seconds after you exit the vehicle and close all
the doors, the parking lights will flash twice to confirm that the AutoArming
countdown is progressing. Then, 25 seconds later, the system will AutoArm.
AutoArm & Lock: To ensure you can’t accidentally lock your keys inside the
car, your SE 2020X is factory-set not to lock the doors upon AutoArming. To
change this setting, see How to Set User-Selectable Features on pages 6-7.
NOTE: To prevent AutoArming of the system when fueling the vehicle, either
enable valet mode or leave one of the doors open (the system AutoArms 30
seconds after all doors are closed).
Valet Mode
Whenever your car is to be serviced, washed or valet parked, you must use the
valet mode in order to prevent unintentional activation of the alarm.
How to Enable Valet Mode
1. Insert your key and turn the ignition to the ON position.
2. Flip the valet/program switch. The LED inside your vehicle will turn on,
confirming the system is in valet mode.
3. You may now turn the
ignition off
and remove your key.
NOTE: If you temporarily lose the use of your remote control, you can disarm
the system by enabling valet mode.
NOTE: Even in valet mode, you may still use the remote control to lock or unlock
the doors and/or activate a remote controlled accessory.
How to Exit Valet Mode
1. Insert your key and turn the ignition to the ON position.
2. Flip the valet/program switch. The LED inside your vehicle will turn off,
confirming the system is in normal operating mode.

Triple-Mode Chirp Silencing
If and when you desire, you may silence the chirp confirmations, allowing for only
silent, parking light arm/disarm confirmation (of course, if an intrusion attempt occurs, the siren will sound its 125dB wail). You have three chirp muting choices:
Long-Term Chirp Silencing: You may disable the chirps until you wish to restore
them. To do so, see How to Set User-Selectable Features on pages 6-7.
One-Cycle Chirp Muting: You may disable the chirps for only one arm-and-dis-
arm cycle, after which the chirps are automatically restored. To do so, simply
turn the vehicle’s ignition switch “ON” and “OFF” rapidly. When you next
arm, and later disarm, the chirps will be silenced.
On-the-Go Remote Chirp Muting: You may silently arm or disarm the alarm
with the remote control on-the-go and without any prior preparation by simultaneously pressing
buttons I and II
of the remote control.
What Do the Chirps and Flashes Mean?
When you remotely arm or disarm the system, the siren will chirp (unless you
have the chirps silenced) and the parking lights will flash:
Chirps/Flashes System Status
1 chirp/1 flash System has been disarmed by remote.
2 chirps/2 flashes System has been armed by remote.
3 chirps/3 flashes System has been disarmed by remote, but the alarm sounded while you were away.
4 chirps/4 flashes immediately
upon remote arming
4 chirps/4 flashes 5 seconds af-
ter remote arming
System has been armed by remote, but the hood and/or trunk trigger is open.
The system is armed and the hood/trunk trigger is automatically bypassed.
System has been armed by remote, but the sensor is active.
The system is armed and the sensor input is automatically bypassed.
Smart AutoTesting™
In the rare event of a trigger or sensor malfunction, your SE 2020X will alert you
of the problem. Arm the alarm with the remote control. If the system detects a
faulty trigger, the system will issue four chirps and four parking light flashes instead of the usual 2 chirps/2 flashes. If a sensor malfunction is detected, the system will issue the usual 2 chirps and 2 flashes, then, 5 seconds later, it will emit 4
chirps and 4 flashes.
NOTE: Since this is a warning indication, you will hear the 4-chirp signal even if
you are using the chirp silencing feature.
Malfunction AutoBypass™
Once the Smart AutoTesting feature identifies and records a trigger or sensor malfunction, your SE 2020X will instantly override the defect and arm all other points.
Your vehicle will never be without some measure of protection. You should, as
soon as possible, take your vehicle to your Authorized SE Dealer for servicing.
