How to set your own se cret valet code
You may choose any 1-4-digit code, but the first digit must not be a zero (e.g., 1023 is a valid co de, 0123 is not). See User-selectable features.
Ex am ple
Let’s say you want to set a valet code of 4301:
1. From the Table of user-selectable features, you would note that the Set a new secret valet code feature is in column 2, row 7.
2. Enter program mode by turning on the ignition, entering your current code, then pressing and holding the button of the PlainView 2 switch for 3
seconds until you hear a chirp.
3. Select column 2 by pressing the blank button twice. After a brief pause, you will hear 2 chirps to confirm that you have selected feature column 2.
4. Within 5 seconds, select row 7 by pressing and releasing the button 7 times. To help you count, you will hear a chirp each time you press the
button. After 7 presses, immediately press the blank button, then immediately enter your new code.
Example: To enter 4301 as your new code, you would press the switch buttons in this manner: ✱✱✱ blank, ✱✱
blank, blank, blank.
5.Wait for the 2-chirp confirmation.
6. Turn off the ignition to exit program mode (you’ll hear a 3-chirp confirmation).
7. VERY IMPORTANT: You must immediately test your new secret valet code: Turn on the ignition, enter your new code, then press and hold the
blank button for 4 seconds. The LED will illuminate to indicate that the system is in valet mode. Turn the ignition off. The sy stem is now in valet mode.
If the LED does not illuminate, the new code you programmed and the one you just entered do not match. In such a
case, the system will revert to the previous code.
8.To exit valet mode and return to normal operation, turn the ignition on and enter your code.
Re mote Con trolled Valet Mode
Valet mode turns off all security features and prevents AutoArming when, for instance, having your car washed. To turn valet mode on/off, simultaneously
press the and buttons. Two parking light flashes confirm valet mode on, one flash confirms valet mode off. The d ashboard LED will glow
continuously when valet mode is on. Your system remains in valet mode until you again press the and buttons to turn it off and restore normal
operation. This is a user-selectable feature and may be programmed off if you wish to use this butt on combination for a different function.
False Alarm Pre ven tion & FACT
With FACT (False Alarm Control and Test), you’ll never experience repeated false alarms. If the siren sounds, DO NOT disarm; allow it to run for the
full siren duration. Before sounding the siren a second time, the system automatically checks for a nother activated sensor or trigger to verify that an
intrusion is in progress. This feature is user-selectable.
Starter AutoIm mo bi li za tion
While armed, your system immobilizes the starter to prevent a thief from starting the engine. The e ngine will remain immobilized even if a thief were to
cut power to the system or find and remove the system control unit.
EC compliance in Europe only: Unlike the AutoArming feature noted above, AutoImmobilization occurs 30 seconds
after turning off the ignition regardless of opening/closing the doors. When you remotely disarm, you have 30
seconds to start the engine. If more than 30 seconds pass, AutoImmobilization occurs, as indicated by the LED
repeatedly flashing (but at a slower than normal “armed” rate). If Auto Im mo bi lization occurs, u se the re mote
con trol to arm and then disarm or use the engine restart feature below.
Op tional Wire less Im mo bi lizer™
Clifford’s optional Wireless Immobilizer interrupts a second point in the vehicle, such as the igni tion or fuel pump. This Clifford innovation provides
immobilization without any wires to the control unit, so a thief could not find the Wireless Immobi lizer even if he tried tracing the system wires!
Operation of the Wireless Immobilizer is automatic and user-transparent.
BE sure to keep the rec ord your Clif ford in staller pro vides as to the lo ca tion of the Wire le ss Im mo bi lizer in case your
ve hi cle needs fu ture serv ic ing.
NOTE: If your vehicle’s engine ever stalls, the Wireless Immobilizer WILL engage. You must turn the ignition all the
way to “OFF” in order to restart.
En gine Re start Fea ture: Europe only
In compliance with EC requirements, the AutoImmobilization will automatically engage thirty seconds after shutting down the engine. Thus
AutoImmobilization may occur while waiting for a train to pass or other delay. To restart:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
2. Press button .
3. You may now start the engine.
