Auto matic re mote con trol low- battery warn ing

If your remote control battery is low, you’ll hear a rapid 5-chirp sequence when you disarm instead of the usual one chirp (with the Self-Powered SmartSiren 4

option, you’ll hear a low-pitched chirp). Replacement batteries are available from any Authorized Clifford Dealer.

Re mote con trol bat tery re place ment

Replacement of a remote control battery is simple, but any Authorized Clifford Dealer will be happy to do it for you without cost provided that you buy

the replacement battery at their shop (it’s a good idea to keep a spare battery in your glove box just in case).

1. Insert a small, thin screwdriver blade in the slot near the keyring opening (you may leave the keyring in place) and turn it to separate the two halves.

2. Remove the old battery noting the + and – indications and replace it with the new one.

3. Put the enclosure back together by first aligning the top of the remote, then snapping the case back together at the bottom.

Add ing new re mote con trols

For other drivers, or to control Clifford G4 systems on your other cars with the same remote, you can buy additional remote controls from any Clifford

Dealer (or direct from the Customer Service Department of your nearest Clifford Headquarters listed on the front cover) and program them into the

system yourself. Arrow 3 will respond to as many as four remote controls.

NOTE: Clifford G4 systems will re spond only to G4-type ACG 2 re mote con trols. Older Clif ford ACG and non- ACG
re mote con trols are not com pati ble with G4 systems.

To add a new remote control to the system, use the Add new remote feature (column 1, row 1) of the User-selectable features section.

User- Selectable AutoArming™

If this feature is enabled and you forget to remotely arm, the system automatically arms itself 30 seconds after the vehicle doors are closed. For your

convenience, if you re-open any door(s) within the 30-second countdown, AutoArming restarts the 30-second delay from the beginning after all doors are

closed. Arrow 3 has these additional features:

n

AutoArming entry delay:

If you temporarily lose the use of your remote controls, you may turn on the AutoArming entry delay feature. If this

feature and AutoArming are turned on, it allows you to enter the car (if it previously AutoArmed) and silently disarm the system by turning on the

ignition within 15 seconds of opening the door. See User-selectable features (column 3, row 3).

n

Visual acknowledgment:

Five seconds after you exit, close all the doors and the interior light has turned off, the indicator lights flash twice to

confirm the AutoArming countdown is progressing. Then, 25 seconds later, the system will AutoArm.

n

Lock upon AutoArming:

To ensure you can’t accidentally lock your keys inside the car, the system is factory-set not to lock the doors upon

AutoArming. To change this setting, see User-selectable features.

n

Instant AutoArming bypass:

Prevents AutoArming when fueling the vehicle and at other times when you wish to temporarily bypass

AutoArming. To activate Instant AutoArming Bypass, rapidly turn the ignition switch to “ON” then “OFF.” You will hear a siren chirp to confirm

that the system will not AutoArm. The system automatically reverts to its normal operating mode when you next start the engine.

Plain View 2 Coded Valet Mode

All car alarms have a valet mode that turn off the security features. This mode is often used to turn off the alarm if the system is not responding to the

remote. However, thieves can disable other alarm brands by simply hotwiring the ignition and flicking the alarm’s easy-to-find “hidden” valet switch.

In contrast, your Arrow 3 system has safeguards that ensure a thief cannot enable the valet mode as a way of “turning off” your system. To enable valet

mode, the driver must first enter the secret valet code on the PlainView 2 switch mounted on your vehicle’s dash or console. When the system is in valet

mode, it overrides AutoArming and all other security features. At various times, you will need to switch the system off. For instance, when refueling or

washing your car.

The system’s factory- set valet code is 2: ✱✱ blank.

NOTE: If you tem po rar ily lose the use of your re mote con trols, you can dis arm the sys tem by ena bling valet mode.

Entering a code

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

simply press the blank button.

EX AM PLE: To en ter a code of 1203, you would press: blank, ✱✱ blank, blank, ✱✱✱ blank.

To en able valet mode

1. Turn the ignition switch to its “ON” position or start the engine if it is not already running.

2. Enter your valet code on the PlainView 2 switch.

3. Continue pressing the blank button for 4 seconds. Release the button. The LED will continue to remain on for ongoing visual confirmation of valet

mode.

To exit valet mode and re store nor mal operation
