Clifford ACE 300 Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
How to interpret the chirps and parking light flashes
When you use the remote control, the system responds with chirps and parking light
flashes. These chirp/flash acknowledgments mean:
Selectable starter/ignition interrupt
At the time of installation, you can select whether your ACE 300 interrupts the
starter line or the ignition line. The starter/ignition interrupt will be set in either
Fault-Proof mode, which lets you start the engine even in the unlikely event of a
complete system failure, or Super-Security mode that ensures a thief won’t be able
to start the engine even if he cuts all the wires or finds the system control unit and
disconnects it. Changing the mode requires a minor relay wiring change and
installer-only programming. Your local Authorized Clifford Dealer can make the
changes for you.
AutoLock/AutoUnLock™
For your safety and that of your passengers, the vehicle doors will automatically
lock the instant you turn on the ignition to start the engine (see User-selectable
features on pages 13-14). When you turn the ignition off to shut down the engine,
the AutoUnLock feature automatically unlocks the doors.
Dual-level tamper warning
You may set the system to issue a rapid five-chirp warning, instead of the full alarm,
whenever the system detects tampering. If there is any further tampering, or if a
door, the hood or the trunk is opened at any time, your system will sound the full
alarm. See User-selectable features on page 13-14.
Smart trunk release option
If the remote trunk release feature was installed, you may use remote control button
2 to remotely pop the trunk. Your system has a built-in electronic interlock to
prevent unintentional activation of the remote trunk release when you drive, or
when the system is armed.
