TO ACTIVATE THE PANIC FEATURE Press button 1 for 3 seconds. The parking lights will flash repeatedly and the siren will blare for 30 or 60 seconds (user-selectable), or until you press button 1 again to turn it off. If the ignition is on (indicating you are in the car), the doors will automatically lock to prevent an assailant from entering. If the ignition is off, the doors will unlock, allowing you to enter immediately without fumbling with your keys. TO REMOTELY Button 2 can control an optional remote trunk release. OPEN THE TRUNK . . . Pressing button 2 while the alarm is disarmed will remotely open the trunk. TO REMOTELY TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS OR TO ACTIVATE A DIFFERENT OPTION . A press of button 4 on the optional 4-button/12-channel ACG remote control can optionally turn on the headlights for any duration of your choice between one second and two minutes (the factory setting is 30 seconds; see User-selectable features on pages 17-18). Or this output may be set to automatically close the power windows and sunroof on certain vehicles. Or the system's channel 4 output may control a different optional accessory, such as the IntelliStart™ remote engine starter. Anti-CodeGrabbing™ (ACG) with Random Code Encryption A Clifford exclusive that protects you and your automobile from the most effective and onerous car stealing device ever used by car thieves - a code-grabber. Code-grabbers are far more effective and efficient than scanning. Unlike scanners that sequentially transmit one digital code after another until they hit the correct code to disarm the alarm (a process that may take minutes to years depending on the system's total number of codes), code-grabbers literally record, from hundreds of feet away, the code sent by your car alarm remote control. Then the thief simply plays back the code when you're gone, instantly disarming the alarm and unlocking the doors. It's like giving the thief your car keys. Non-Clifford alarms can be defeated that easily. In contrast, Clifford systems use complex digital signal processing and unbreachable encryption to randomly change the digital code every time you use the remote control. Your remote will never transmit the same code twice, and the control unit will never accept the same code twice. Thus the code recorded and played back by the thief's code-grabber will never be accepted by your SuperNova II. Only ACG can make a car alarm impervious to code-grabbing, and only Clifford systems have ACG with Random Code Encryption. 9
