Clifford 900-IQ Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
Smart AutoTesting™
Each time you remotely arm the system, it tests all triggers and sensors. If the hood or trunk
is open when you remotely arm, the system will immediately alert you of the problem
by sounding 4 chirps and 4 parking light flashes instead of the usual 2 and 2. If a door
is ajar, you will receive the usual 2 chirps and flashes, then, 5 seconds later, there will
be 4 chirps and 4 flashes. (This door ajar warning will not work on vehicles that have
factory-delayed courtesy lights). 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
have the chirp muting feature turned on.
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 blinks in one cycle between pauses (for your convenience, the
blink cycle repeats a total of 5 times) and refer to the chart below:
Number of LED blinks between pauses Trigger/sensor indication
1 blink
OmniSensor
2 blinks
Optional sensor
3 blinks*
Door trigger*
4 blinks
Trunk trigger
5 blinks
Hood trigger
* 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
To provide the utmost protection even if a system component malfunctions, the system
will automatically bypass any faulty point and arm all other triggers and sensors to
provide the utmost possible protection until you can have the system serviced by your
local Authorized Clifford Dealer. If you accidentally armed with the hood, trunk or a
door open, just close the open point and the system will again monitor that point.
Multiple-event TotalRecall™
The system’s memory records the identity of the last eight activated or malfunctioning
triggers and sensors, which allows your installer to instantly track down malfunctions. To
identify the triggers and sensors held in the system’s memory, use the following procedure:
1. With the ignition OFF, flick the PlainView valet switch to its latched side.
2. Press button 1 to “arm” the system, then again to “disarm.”
3. The LED will blink 1-5 times to indicate the most recently activated point, pause,
blink 1-5 times to indicate the next most recently activated point, and so on.
4. Write down the number of blinks between pauses and refer to the chart above.
