Clifford 700 Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
To enable valet mode
1. Turn the ignition switch to its “ON” position or start the engine.
2. Enter your secret valet code on the PlainView switch, then return the switch to its
center position.
3. You now have 3 seconds to press the latched position (valet mode). Once you have
entered valet mode, the system’s LED will glow continually for on-going visual
confirmation of valet mode.
Deluxe Keyless entry in valet mode: Even if valet mode is enabled, you can still
remotely control the convenience features. For instance, simply press button 1
(channel 1) as if you were disarming. The doors will unlock (as indicated by one
parking light flash) and the interior lights will illuminate. Press button 1 again and
the doors will lock (indicated by two flashes). You can also use the remote’s other
channels to activate options such as a remote trunk release or remote engine starting.
To exit valet mode
1. Turn the ignition switch to its “ON” position or start the engine.
2. Flick the switch back to its center position. The LED will turn off to confirm that the
system is now in its normal operating mode.
NOTE: You can even enable or exit valet mode with your remote control from
outside the vehicle! See the Remote QuickAccess section on page 14.
Setting your own secret valet code
Since all IntelliGuard systems have the same factory-set 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 page 19-21.
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 (see page 10) that sequentially transmit one
digital code after another hoping one of them is the correct code to disarm the alarm (a
process that may take hours, days or even years depending on the alarm’s number of
codes), code-grabbers literally record, from hundreds of feet away, the code sent by your
car alarm remote control. A code-grabber will instantly duplicate any remote control
code, even if the remote has billions or trillions of codes. The thief simply waits for you
to arm your alarm with the remote control and walk away. Then he plays back the code,
instantly disarming your car’s alarm and unlocking the doors. It’s like giving the thief
your keys. All non-Clifford alarms can be defeated that easily. In contrast, IntelliGuard
systems use complex digital signal processing and unbreachable encryption to randomly
change the digital code every time you use the remote. Your remote will never transmit the
same code. Thus the code recorded and played back by the thief’s code-grabber will never
be accepted by your IntelliGuard 700. Only ACG can make a car alarm impervious to
code-grabbing, and only Clifford systems have ACG with Random Code Encryption.
