Clifford AvantGuard III Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
Setting your own secret valet code
Since all Clifford systems have the same factory-set valet code, it is highly advisable
that you set your own valet code. You may choose any 1-, 2-, or 3-digit code that does
not have any zeros. You can also change your valet code whenever you want. Simply
write down the 1-to-3 digit code you wish to use (remember, no zeros in the code), then
refer to the User-selectable features section on pages 31-35.
Example
Let’s say you want to set your valet code to 31. To do so, you would do the following:
1. From the Table of user-selectable features on pages 34 and 35, you would note that
the “set a new secret valet code” feature is in column 4, row 6.
2. Enter program mode by turning on the ignition, entering your current valet code, then
pressing the PlainView switch to its momentary side for 3 seconds until you hear a chirp.
3. Select column 4 by moving the switch between latched and centre 4 times, i.e.:
latched, centre, latched, centre, latched, centre, latched, centre. After a brief pause,
you will hear 4 chirps to confirm that you have selected column 4.
4. Select row 6 by pressing and releasing the momentary side of the switch 6 times. To
help you count, you will hear a chirp each time you press the momentary side.
5. Immediately flip the switch to the latched position.
6. Enter you new code. To enter 31 as your new code, you would press the switch in this
manner: momentary, momentary, momentary, latched (you’ll hear 3 chirps to confirm
the first digit), momentary, latched (1 chirp to confirm the second digit), centre.
7. Wait 3 seconds until you hear 2 chirps, indicating the new code has been accepted.
8. Turn off the ignition to exit program mode (you’ll hear a 3-chirp confirmation).
9. VERY IMPORTANT: You must immediately test your new secret valet code:
Turn on the ignition, enter your new code, then flip the switch to its latched position.
The LED will illuminate. If it does not, 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.
Remote controlled seat positioning
If your vehicle is equipped with power memory seats, the AvantGuard III can
automatically adjust the driving position to your requirements before you even enter the
vehicle. Just remotely disarm and AvantGuard III will automatically activate the
vehicle’s factory memory seat setting. What’s more, AvantGuard III lets you define
which remote control activates which memory position. That means when you disarm
with your remote, the system will adjust the seating position to your settings. When your
spouse disarms with the other remote, the seating position will automatically adjust to
your spouse’s settings. In other words, when you disarm with remote #1, AvantGuard III
will automatically activate the vehicle’s memory seat position #1; when disarmed with
remote #2, memory position #2 is activated, and so on in any combination you wish
using up to four different remote controls and four different memory positions.
The two remote controls that came with your AvantGuard III have been preset to
activate your vehicle’s memory positions #1 and #2. You can change the assignments of
these two remote controls and/or associate additional remote controls with other
memory positions. See
User-Selectable Features
on pages 31-35.
