Clifford SuperNova II Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
AutoLock and AutoUnLock™
For your safety and that of your passengers, the vehicle doors will automatically
lock* the instant you turn on the ignition to start the engine (see User-selectable
features on pages 17-18). When you turn the ignition off to shut down the engine,
the AutoUnLock feature automatically unlocks* the doors. To suit your preferences,
you may turn off either or both the AutoLock and/or AutoUnLock features. There
are a total of four possibilities: AutoLock “on” while AutoUnLock is “off”, or
vice-versa. The other two combinations are both AutoLock and AutoUnLock “on”
or both “off.”
Smart AutoTesting™
Each time you remotely arm your SuperNova II, it automatically performs an
extensive test of all system triggers and sensors. If the hood or trunk is open when
you remotely arm, the system will immediately alert you of the problem by
sounding 4 chirps and 4 parking light flashes instead of the usual 2 and 2 (simply
disarm, shut the hood or trunk and re-arm to reactivate monitoring of that trigger
point). If a door is ajar or if one of the sensors is malfunctioning, you will receive
the usual 2 chirps and 2 flashes, then,
5 seconds later
, there will be
4 chirps
and
4
flashes
. (The door ajar warning will not work on vehicles that have factory-delayed
courtesy lights).
NOTE: Since this is a warning indication, you will hear the 4 chirps even if you
have the chirp muting feature turned on.
Specific malfunction identification: The system can also indicate the specific
malfunctioning trigger or sensor. If you get the 4-chirp/4-flash signal upon
arming, perform the following to identify the malfunctioning trigger or sensor:
1. Remotely disarm, then turn on the ignition. The LED status indicator inside your
vehicle will be blinking, pause, then repeat.
2. Count the number of blinks in one cycle between pauses (for your convenience,
the blink cycle repeats a total of 5 times) and refer to the chart below:
** If your vehicle has a factory-installed feature that turns off or dims the interior courtesy lights
several seconds after you exit the vehicle, the system cannot provide this indication.
Number of LED blinks between pauses Trigger/sensor indication
1 blink
Piezo Sensor or Glass Tampering Sensor
