OTHER OPTIONS
REGARDLESS OF
ALARM STATE. . . . . . .
Button 4 (channel 4) and channels 5–8 and 13–14 (see
How to
use your keychain remote control
on page 14) can activate
accessories such as remote power window control, electric garage
door and entry gate opener(s), Clifford ACG systems on your
other vehicles, etc.
What about
channels
9 – 12, 15 & 16? . . . . .
Channels 9 through 12 and 15 and 16 control remote valet mode
entry/exit (see page 19) , remote override of one or both zones of the
system’s Proximity Sensor (see page 22), AutoStart (see page 28),
and remote adjustment of each of the two system sensors (see page
21).
How to interpret the chirps and side light flashes
When you use the remote control, the system responds with chirps (unless the chirp muting
feature is turned on) and side light flashes. These chirp/flash acknowledgments mean:
Chirps and/or flashes Meaning
1
Your system is disarmed or you have remotely exited valet mode (see page 19)
2
Your system is armed or you have remotely engaged valet mode (see page 19) or you
have signaled the system to start the engine (see Remote Engine Starting on page 28)
2 and then 4
Armed but there is a door ajar (if there was a 5-sec. delay) or one of the sensors is
malfunctioning (if there was a 10-sec. delay) (see Smart AutoTesting on page 24)
3
Disarmed but there was an intrusion attempt while you were away
(see Smart prior intrusion attempt on page 25)
4
Armed but the bonnet or boot is ajar (see Smart AutoTesting on page 24),
or confirms remote override of the Proximity Sensor zone(s)
(see Remote controlled override of one or both Proximity Sensor zones on page 22)
Anti-CodeGrabbing (ACG) with Random Code Encryption
A Clifford exclusive that protects you and your automobile from the most effective and
onerous car stealing device ever used by car thieves — a code-grabber. Code-grabbers
are far more effective and efficient than scanners. Unlike scanners that sequentially
transmit one digital code after another until they hit the correct code to disarm the alarm
(a process that may take minutes to years depending on the system’s total number of
codes), code-grabbers literally record, from hundreds of metres away, the code sent by
your car alarm remote control. Then the thief simply plays back the code when you’re
gone, instantly disarming the alarm and unlocking the doors. It’s like giving the thief
your car keys. Non-Clifford alarms can be defeated that easily. In contrast, Clifford
systems with ACG use complex digital signal processing and unbreachable encryption
to randomly change the digital code every time you use the remote control. Your remote
will
never
transmit the same code twice, and the control unit will
never
accept the same
code twice. Thus the code recorded and played back by the thief’s code-grabber will
never be accepted by your AvantGuard III.
