ACG 2 (Anti- CodeGrabbing 2™)
ACG 2 protects you and your automobile from code-grabbing devices. Code-grabbers record, from hundr eds of feet away, the code sent by your car alarm
remote control (code-grabbers are very similar to, but simpler than, cellphone “cloning” devices). The thief then plays back the code when you’re gone,
instantly disarming the alarm and unlocking the doors. It’s like leaving your keys and remote in th e door. Many non-Clifford alarms can be defeated that
easily, and some of the latest “smart” code-grabbers can even decipher the code hopping/jumping seq uence used by other car alarm manufacturers. In
contrast, your AvantGuard 4 uses complex digital signal processing and unbreachable code encryption to randomly change the digital code every time you
use the remote control. Your remotes will never transmit the same code twice, and the control unit will never accept the same code twice. Thus the code
played back by the code-grabber — even the latest generation smart code-grabbers — will never be accepted by your AvantGuard 4 system.
Add ing new re mote con trols
For other drivers, or to control Clifford G4 systems on your other cars with the same remote, you can buy additional remote controls from any Clifford
Dealer (or direct from the Customer Service Department of your nearest Clifford Headquarters listed on the front cover) and program them into the
system yourself. AvantGuard 4 will respond to as many as four remote controls.
NOTE: Clifford G4 systems will re spond only to G4-type ACG 2 re mote con trols. Older Clif ford AC G and non- ACG
re mote con trols are not com pati ble with G4 systems.
To add a new master 5-button remote control, use the Add new master remote feature (column 1, row 1) of the User-selectable features table. To add a new
companion 4-button remote, program each button and button combination to the specific functions noted in col umn 4.
