CLIFFORD 900-IQ - Manual (Page 12)

Enable/disable anti-carjacking
You may enable or disable the anti-carjacking feature (see User-selectable features on
pages 21-25) or temporarily override it via UltraSecure Coded Valet Mode (see page 15).
What to do in a carjacking situation
In a carjacking situation, the sooner you are out of the car the better. Don’t resist or take
anything with you, just get out and get away. The instant the car door is opened, your
IntelliGuard 900-IQ takes charge. First it lets the carjacker drive a short distance, ensuring
your safety. Then it flashes the brake lights and sounds the siren to caution drivers near
your vehicle. It then waits for the carjacker to slow for a turn or traffic, at which point it
shuts down the engine and dynamically prevents it from being restarted. If the carjacker
tries to use the PlainView switch to enter code combinations at random, the system will
lock out for two minutes after three incorrect tries. Even if he stumbles onto the correct
code, the carjacker is still locked out. Unable to restart the vehicle, and with the siren
wailing and brake lights flashing, the carjacker has no choice but to abandon your car.
(The same occurs to anyone who steals your parked car). You simply walk a block or
two to your car, enter your code, and the system releases control of the vehicle to you.
Your 4-button/12-channel remote controls
The 4-button/12-channel remote controls (one with a gun-metal gray case, the other with
a laminated burlwood finish) are ultra-sophisticated miniature radio transmitters
powered by a tiny 12-volt battery. Range is up to 100 feet (up to 300 feet with the
optional ElectroLoop Antenna). A weak remote control battery will reduce range.
Electrical interference and even sunspots can interrupt the signal from your remote to
the system. If this happens, repeatedly press the remote control button (this works better
than holding the button down). The 4-button/12-channel remote control is the key to
your system. It incorporates Clifford’s Anti-CodeGrabbing™ (ACG) technology for the
ultimate protection against “code-grabbing” devices (see page 14). You will use your
remote control to arm and disarm the system, lock and unlock the doors, activate the
panic feature, adjust sensor sensitivity, enable/exit valet mode, override an optional
sensor, activate the headlights or command options such as a remote trunk release,
power window operation, electric garage door interface and even remote starting of the engine
and heater or air conditioner, among other options.
How to use your keychain remote control
Your remote control can individually command up
to 12 different system functions and options. It’s
like having a TV with 12 channels. You change
channels (functions) with your keychain remote
control. But instead of putting 12 buttons on the
remote control, we made it easy: First, the button
you use the most — button 1 to arm, disarm, lock and unlock — is larger than the
others. Buttons 2, 3 and 4 are the smaller buttons to the right, below and left of button 1.
The LevelShift button on the side of the remote control allows you to select channels 5-12:
