Clifford 900-IQ Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
Optional starter interrupt
With the addition of an optional relay, while the system is armed, the vehicle’s starter
circuit is electronically disconnected. Our Fault-Proof design ensures that you’ll be able
to start the engine even in the unlikely event of a system malfunction.
Enhanced AutoArming™
If this feature is enabled and you forget to remotely arm, the system will automatically arm
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 will restart from the beginning once
all doors are closed. IntelliGuard 900-IQ has these additional AutoArming features:
AutoArming enable/disable: If you prefer, you may deactivate or reactivate the
AutoArming feature. See
User-selectable features
on pages 21-25.
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, the
system is factory-set not to lock the doors upon AutoArming. To change this setting,
see User-selectable features on pages 21-25.
User-selectable entry delay: If you temporarily lose the use of your remote controls,
you may turn on the 15-second entry delay feature. This allows you to enter the car
and silently disarm the system by turning on the ignition within 15 seconds of opening
the door. See User-selectable features on pages 21-25.
Instant AutoArming bypass: Prevents AutoArming when fueling the vehicle and
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 single siren chirp to confirm that the system will not AutoArm. The system
reverts to its normal operating mode when you next start the engine.
UltraSecure™ valet mode
In seconds, thieves can disable other alarm brands by hotwiring the ignition and flicking
an easy-to-find
“hidden”
valet switch. Your IntelliGuard 900-IQ has safeguards that
absolutely ensure that a thief cannot enable the valet mode as a way of “turning off”
your system. How? To enable valet mode, the driver must first enter the secret
disarming code on the PlainView switch (i.e., the same code you use to turn off the
BlackJax anti-carjacking circuitry; see page 9). Whenever the system is put in valet
mode, it overrides the anti-carjacking features and the AutoArming feature (see above),
as well as all other security features. At various times, you will need to switch the
system off. For instance, when having your car serviced, washed or parked by a valet.
Remember: When your car will be driven by someone else (such as a mechanic) who
will not know your disarming code, you must place the system in valet mode,
otherwise your car will be immobilized.
NOTE: If you temporarily lose the use of your remote controls, you can disarm
the system by enabling valet mode.
