Clifford Sabre II Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
Selectable starter/ignition interrupt
At the time of installation, you can select whether your Sabre II 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.
Piezo Sensor™
The Piezo Sensor detects intrusion-related vibrations and impacts. For an even
greater level of security, consider Clifford Electronics optional sensors: Glass
Tampering Sensor (detects any attempts to break any of the vehicle windows)
and/or the Digital Dual-Zone Proximity Sensor IV (a passenger compartment radar
sensor, particularly important for convertible and other open/soft-top vehicles).
Enhanced AutoArming™
If this feature is enabled and you forget to remotely arm, the system will
automatically arm itself 30 seconds after the vehicle doors are closed. For your
convenience, if you re-open any door(s) within the 30-second countdown,
AutoArming will restart from the beginning once all doors are closed. Sabre II has
these additional AutoArming features:
AutoArming enable/disable: If you prefer, you may deactivate or reactivate
the AutoArming feature. See
User-selectable features
on pages 13-14.
Visual acknowledgment: Five seconds after you exit the vehicle and close all
the doors, the parking lights will flash twice to confirm that the AutoArming
countdown is progressing. Then, 25 seconds later, the system will AutoArm.
AutoArm & Lock: To ensure you can’t accidentally lock your keys inside the
car, the system is factory-set not to lock the doors upon AutoArming. To
change this setting, see User-selectable features on pages 13-14.
Instant AutoArming bypass: Prevents AutoArming when fueling and other
times when you wish to temporarily bypass AutoArming. To activate Instant
AutoArming Bypass, rapidly turn the ignition switch to “ON” then “OFF.” You’ll
hear a siren chirp to confirm that the system will not AutoArm. Your Sabre II
will revert to its normal operating mode when you next start the engine.
