Clifford SuperNova II Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
Optional remote controlled valet mode entry and exit
You can even remotely enable or exit valet mode if you have an optional Clifford
4-button/12-channel ACG remote control. All you need to do is transmit channel 9
(two presses of the side LevelShift button, then button 1). In addition to the
previously noted indications, two parking light flashes will confirm that you have
remotely enabled valet mode, while a single flash confirms exiting of valet mode.
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 as if you were disarming and the doors
will unlock* (indicated by one parking light flash) and the interior lights will turn
on. Press button 1 again and the doors lock* (confirmed by two flashes). You can
also use the other channels to activate options such as a remote trunk release or
remote engine starting.
Dual-Sensor Protection
Your SuperNova II has two sensors: A Glass Tampering Sensor that can detect
attempts to break any of the vehicle’s windows, and a Piezo Sensor that detects
intrusion-related vibrations and impacts. This provides twice the level of protection
offered by most other brands of car alarms. For an even greater level of security,
consider Clifford Electronics optional sensors: OmniSensor (a digital analysis
vibration/impact sensor) and/or the Digital Dual-Zone Proximity Sensor IV (a
passenger compartment radar sensor, particularly important for convertible and
other open-top vehicles).
Selectable starter/ignition interrupt
At the time of installation, you can select whether your SuperNova 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.
* Some vehicles require optional relays to activate your vehicle’s power door locks.
