Clifford 60 Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
Enable/disable anti-carjacking
You may enable or disable the anti-carjacking feature (see User-selectable features on
pages 21-25) or temporarily override it via UltraSecure Coded Valet Mode (see page 15).
What to do in a carjacking situation
In a carjacking situation, the sooner you are out of the car the better. Don’t resist or take
anything with you, just get out and get away. The instant the car door is opened, your
Concept 60 takes charge. First it lets the carjacker drive a short distance, ensuring your
safety. Then it flashes the brake lights and sounds the siren to caution drivers near your
vehicle. It then waits for the carjacker to slow for a turn or traffic, at which point it shuts
down the engine and dynamically prevents it from being restarted. If the carjacker tries
to use the PlainView switch to enter code combinations at random, the system will lock
out for two minutes after three incorrect tries. Even if he stumbles onto the correct code,
the carjacker is still locked out. Unable to restart the vehicle, and with the siren wailing
and brake lights flashing, the carjacker has no choice but to abandon your car. (The
same occurs to anyone who steals your parked car). You simply walk a block or two to
your car, enter your code, and the system releases control of the vehicle to you.
Your 4-button/12-channel remote controls
The 4-button/12-channel remote controls are ultra-sophisticated miniature radio
transmitters powered by a tiny 12-volt battery. Range is up to 100 feet (up to 300 feet
with the optional ElectroLoop Antenna). A weak remote control battery will reduce
range. Electrical interference and even sunspots can interrupt the signal from your
remote to the system. If this happens, repeatedly press the remote control button (this
works better than holding the button down). The 4-button/12-channel remote control is
the key to your system. It incorporates Clifford’s Anti-CodeGrabbing™ (ACG)
technology for the ultimate protection against “code-grabbing” devices (see page 14).
You will use your remote control to arm and disarm the system, lock and unlock the
doors, activate the panic feature, adjust sensor sensitivity, enable/exit valet mode,
override an optional sensor, command options such as a remote trunk release, timed
headlight activation, power window operation, electric garage door interface and even
remote starting of the engine and heater or air conditioner, among other options.
How to use your keychain remote control
Your remote control can individually command
up to 12 different system functions and options.
It’s like having a TV with 12 channels. You
change channels (functions) with your keychain
remote control. But instead of putting 12 buttons
on the remote, we made it easy: First, the button
you use the most — button 1 to arm, disarm, lock
and unlock — is larger than the others. Buttons 2,
3 and 4 are the smaller buttons to the right, below
and left of button 1. The LevelShift button on the
side of the remote control allows you to select channels 5–12:
