CLIFFORD ACE 2000 - Manual (Page 6)

Smart trunk release option
If you have this option, you may use the button to remotely release the trunk latch. The system’s electronic interlock prevents unintentional activation
of the remote trunk release when you drive, or when the system is armed. The Smart Trunk Release feature requires installer programming, so if you have
the optional trunk release installed, you may want to verify that it will NOT activate when the system is armed. If it can be activated while armed, causing the
alarm to sound, please return to your installing Clifford Dealer and have them correct this (it only takes a couple minutes and there will be no charge to you).
Dual-Zone Piezo Sensor
The Dual-Zone Piezo Sensor detects theft-related vibrations/ impacts and triggers the alarm. It also has a warning zone that detects less serious occurrences
—such as someone bumping your car door with their’s—and sounds a brief warning tone. If needed, sensitivity of this sensor can be readjusted by any
Authorized Clifford Dealer (preferably your installing dealer). To prevent falsing, system sensors are bypassed when the engine is remotely started (if you
have the IntelliStart 4 option). Ask your Authorized Clifford Dealer about these optional sensors that will further enhance the security of your vehicle:
n Glass Tampering Sensor: Today’s thieves shatter vehicle windows with a small metal punch device that does not create any vibrations for an
impact sensor to detect. The Glass Tampering Sensor detects the sound of glass breaking, and glass tampering attempts, and will trigger the alarm.
n Digital Tilt/Motion Sensor: Detects less than one degree of lifting or any minute motion of the vehicle while completely ignoring all other
conditions that falsely set off all other sensors. Even if you park on a hill, the Digital Tilt/Motion Sensor will accurately respond to the first hint of
tampering to reliably protect your wheels and entire vehicle.
High-Output Siren
n Remote siren silencing: If triggered by a non-threatening event, you can silence the siren without remotely disarming. Press button while
the siren is sounding. Two chirps confirm that the sensor activated the alarm and the system is remaining armed. Four chirps confirm that the
system is still armed, but that the ignition is on or the hood, trunk or a door is open and that this may indeed be a genuine theft attempt.
n Automatic noise abatement: Alarm sounding is limited to five siren duration cycles even if a door is left open in the wake of an intrusion.
n Long-term chirp silencing: You may silence the arm and disarm chirps on a long-term basis until you decide to restore them. Your vehicle’s
parking light flashes will continue to provide visual confirmation of remote controlled system arming and disarming. See User-selectable features.
n Selectable siren duration: You may change the factory set 30-second siren duration to 60 or 90 seconds via the programming procedure or via
the CliffNet Wizard software. See User-selectable features.
n Personalized Siren Sounds (requires the Self-Powered SmartSiren 4 option): The optional Self-Powered SmartSiren 4 sounds six
different alarm sounds. You may turn any of the six sounds on or off via User-selectable features programming to create a different combination of
sound patterns. So if you hear a siren at a distance, you will know for sure whether it is your car or someone else’s. See User-selectable features
(column 1, row 2). What’s more, with the optional CliffNet Wizard software and DataPort Replicator Cable, you may select up to six sounds from
more than a dozen different siren sound choices for truly unique customization.
n Choose when your Personalized Siren Sounds play: You may choose to have your Personalized Siren Sounds “play” every time the alarm is
set off, or you may set the system to sound them only upon trigger activation. When set to “trigger only” the basic siren wail will sound if a sensor
is activated, but the Personalized Siren Sounds will play if the hood, trunk or a door is opened. See User-selectable features (column 1, row 3).
Smart AutoTesting™
Each time you remotely arm the system, it tests all triggers and sensors. If the hood or trunk is open, the system will immediately sound 4 chirps and 4
indicator light flashes instead of the usual 2 and 2. If a door is ajar, you’ll receive 2 chirps and 2 flashes, then, 5 seconds later, there will be 4 chirps and 4
flashes. If a sensor is malfunctioning, you will receive the usual 2 chirps and 2 flashes, then, 10 seconds later, there will be 4 chirps and 4 flashes.
NOTE: Since this is a warning indication, you will hear the 4 chirps even if you use the chirp muting feature.
n Specific malfunction identification: The system can also indicate the specific trigger or sensor that is malfunctioning. If you get the
4-chirp/4-flash signal upon arming, perform the following to identify the malfunctioning trigger or sensor:
1. Remotely disarm, then turn on the ignition. The LED status indicator inside your vehicle will be flashing, pause, then repeat.
2. Count the number of flashes in one cycle between pauses (for your convenience, the flash cycle repeats a total of 5 times) and refer to the chart below:
LED flashes Meaning
1 flash Activation of optional sensor
2 flashes Activation of Piezo Sensor
4 flashes* Door open/ajar
5 flashes Trunk/hood open/ajar (trunk only if you have the IntelliStart 4 option)
6 flashes Hood open/ajar (only if you have the IntelliStart 4 option)
7 flashes Ignition switch was turned on while the system was armed
8 flashes Three or more incorrect valet codes were entered
10 flashes Power tampering or the vehicle battery is very low
* If your vehicle has a factory-installed feature that turns off or dims the interior courtesy lights several seconds after you exit the vehicle, the system cannot provide this indication.
Automatic malfunction bypass with AutoReMonitoring™
The system automatically bypasses any faulty point and arms all other triggers and sensors for the utmost possible protection. If you accidentally arm with
the hood, trunk or a door open, just close it (no need to disarm-and-rearm) and the system will again monitor that point.
