Smart trunk release option If you have this option, you may use the button to remotely release the trunk latch. The system's electronic interlock prevents unintentional activation of the remote trunk release when you drive, or when the system is armed. The Smart Trunk Release feature requires installer programming, so if you have the optional trunk release installed, you may want to verify that it will NOT activate when the system is armed. If it can be activated while armed, causing the alarm to sound, please return to your installing Clifford Dealer and have them correct this (it only takes a couple minutes and there will be no charge to you). High-Output Insignia Siren This Clifford-engineered siren is more rugged than generic sirens and has these features: n Remote siren silencing: If triggered by a non-threatening event, you can silence the siren without remotely disarming. Press button 1 on the master remote or button on the companion remote while the siren is sounding. Two chirps confirm that the sensor activated the alarm and the system is remaining armed. Four chirps confirm that the system is still armed, but that the ignition is on or the hood, trunk or a door is open and that this may indeed be a genuine theft attempt. n Automatic noise abatement: Alarm sounding is limited to five siren duration cycles even if a door is left open in the wake of an intrusion. n Long-term chirp silencing: You may silence the arm and disarm chirps on a long-term basis until you decide to restore them. Your vehicle's parking light flashes will continue to provide visual confirmation of remote controlled system arming and disarming. See User-selectable features. n Selectable siren duration: You may change the factory set 30-second siren duration to 60 or 90 seconds via the programming procedure or via the CliffNet Wizard software. See User-selectable features. n Personalized Siren Sounds (requires the Self-Powered SmartSiren 4 option): The optional Self-Powered SmartSiren 4 sounds six different alarm sounds. With the optional CliffNet Wizard software and DataPort Replicator Cable, you may select up to six sounds from more than a dozen different siren sound choices for truly unique customization. n Choose when your Personalized Siren Sounds play: With the optional CliffNet Wizard software and DataPort Replicator Cable, you may choose to have your Personalized Siren Sounds "play" every time the alarm is set off, or you may set the system to sound them only upon trigger activation. When set to "trigger only" the basic siren wail will sound if a sensor is activated, but the Personalized Siren Sounds will play if the hood, trunk or a door is opened. SmartPowerUp™ 2 If power is removed, SmartPowerUp 2 ensures the system automatically restores itself to its previous state when power is restored. 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 continuing to immobilize the starter. If your vehicle is to be serviced by a mechanic, just put the system in valet mode. If the mechanic needs to interrupt power, your system will automatically return to its valet mode state when power is restored; there will be no alarm activation. Smart AutoTesting™ Each time you remotely arm the system, it tests all triggers and sensors. If the hood or trunk is open, the system will immediately sound 4 chirps and 4 indicator light flashes instead of the usual 2 and 2. If a door is ajar, you'll receive 2 chirps and 2 flashes, then, 5 seconds later, there will be 4 chirps and 4 flashes. If a sensor is malfunctioning, you will receive the usual 2 chirps and 2 flashes, then, 10 seconds later, there will be 4 chirps and 4 flashes. NOTE: Since this is a warning indication, you will hear the 4 chirps even if you use the chirp muting feature. n Specific malfunction identification: The system can also indicate the specific trigger or sensor that is malfunctioning. 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 flashing, pause, then repeat. 2. Count the number of flashes in one cycle between pauses (for your convenience, the flash cycle repeats a total of 5 times) and refer to the chart below: LED flashes 1 flash 2 flashes 4 flashes* 5 flashes 6 flashes 7 flashes 8 flashes 10 flashes Meaning Activation of Glass Tampering Sensor Activation of Piezo Sensor Door open/ajar Trunk open or ajar Hood open or ajar Ignition switch was turned on while the system was armed Three or more incorrect valet codes were entered Power tampering or the vehicle battery is very low * 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. Automatic malfunction bypass with AutoReMonitoring™ The system automatically bypasses any faulty point and arms all other triggers and sensors for the utmost possible protection. If you accidentally arm with the hood, trunk or a door open, just close it (no need to disarm-and-rearm) and the system will again monitor that point. 8
