Clifford 700-IQ Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
Selectable starter/ignition interrupt
At the time of installation, you can select whether your IntelliGuard 700-IQ interrupts
the starter line or the ignition line. To verify which line is electronically interrupted,
enter the vehicle, close the doors, arm the system while inside the vehicle, then try to
start the engine. If the engine cranks but does not start, the ignition is bypassed. If it
does not crank at all, the starter is disabled.
In addition, the starter/ignition interrupt will be set in either Fault-Proof mode, which
lets you start the engine even in the unlikely event of a complete system failure, or
Super-Security mode that ensures a thief won’t be able to start the engine even if he cuts
all the wires or finds the system control unit and disconnects it.
Changing the mode requires a minor relay wiring change and installer-only programming.
Your local Authorized Clifford Dealer can make the changes for you.
Headlight Reminder
If you turn the ignition off and open the driver’s door to exit the car without having turned
off the headlights, you will be reminded to turn them off with a distinctive warning tone.
If your vehicle already has a similar warning feature, you may turn off the IntelliGuard
700-IQ Headlight Reminder feature. See User-selectable features on pages 20-24.
AutoLock and AutoUnLock™
For your safety and that of your passengers, the doors automatically lock when you turn on
the ignition to start the engine, and unlock when you turn the ignition off. To suit your
preferences, you may turn off either or both the AutoLock and/or AutoUnLock features.
There are four possibilities: AutoLock “on” while AutoUnLock is “off”, or vice-versa.
The other two combinations are both AutoLock and AutoUnLock “on” or both “off.”
How to interpret the LED status indicator
The LED on your car’s dashboard or console will inform you of the system status:
Automatic Battery-Saving Mode
To conserve vehicle battery power (the LED draws more current than the entire control
unit), if the system has remained continuously armed for 48 hours, the flash rate will
automatically slow to half the normal rate. After 96 hours, it slows to one-quarter.
LED Condition Meaning
Off System is disarmed and in normal operating mode (i.e., valet mode is off)
On Valet mode is on, the vehicle can be driven or serviced without having to disarm
Flashing System is armed and protecting your vehicle
Pause between flashes Either a malfunction (see page 17) or an intrusion was attempted (see page 18)
