Clifford intellivoice IQ Vechicle Security Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
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.”
Fault-Proof™ starter interrupt
While the system is armed, the vehicle’s starter circuit is electronically disconnected.
Our Fault-Proof design ensures that you’ll be able to start the engine even in the
unlikely event of a system malfunction.
Tamper-proof ignition immobilization output
If your IntelliVoice-IQ is equipped with the ignition immobilization option, while
armed, the system assures that your vehicle is completely immobilized by automatically
locking out the ignition system. That means that a thief won’t be able to start the engine
even if he had a duplicate of your car key. What’s more, even if he were to find the
system control unit and tear it out of your vehicle, he still would not be able to start your
car’s engine! That’s Clifford security you can count on.
How to interpret the LED status indicator
The LED on your car’s dashboard or console will inform you of the system status:
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
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.
SmartPowerUp™ II
If power to the system is ever removed, SmartPowerUp II ensures the system will
automatically restore itself to its previous state. So if a thief disconnects the power and
then restores it in an attempt to start the car, the system will re-arm and instantly sound
the siren while immobilizing the vehicle. If your vehicle is to be serviced by a mechanic,
just put the system in valet mode via the remote control (see
Remote controlled valet
mode entry and exit
on page 12). If the mechanic needs to interrupt power, your system
will automatically return to valet mode and there will be no alarm activation and no
need to provide your mechanic with your remote control.
