Clifford Arrow 3 Owners Guide - Page 3

NOTE: Your system MUST be installed by an Authorized Clifford Dealer in accordance with the instructions we supply

them. The system is intended for automobiles with a 12-volt battery and gasoline- or diesel-powered engine. Other

than the remote controls, this system has no user-serviceable parts. Your Authorized Clifford Dealer can correct any

system wiring problems and, if ever needed, can return any malfunctioning component to Clifford Electronics for

repair/replacement under the warranty terms and conditions noted in this manual.

Maintenance

Your Clifford system requires no maintenance except for periodic replacement of the remote control batteries. This product, like any electrical device in

your vehicle, requires your car battery be in proper working order and fully charged. To ensure proper operation, periodically have your vehicle battery

“load-checked” at any local garage/mechanic. Also make sure the battery cables and connections are tight and free from corrosion.

Welcome to the world of

high-technology vehicle security and convenience

C

ongratulations on the purchase of your Clifford Electronics mobile security/convenience system. Clifford Electronics has long been recognized as the

leading manufacturer of high-technology vehicle security systems. Our commitment to technological innovation, quality and reliability is clearly evident

in your Clifford

system. Yet despite all its sophistication, your system is amazingly easy to use, never more difficult than a few presses of a button.

Your remote controls

The two 3-button remote controls are sophisticated miniature radio transmitters each powered by a 3-volt lithium battery. A weak remote control battery

will reduce range (the system will warn you if the battery in your remote is nearing the end of its useful life, see the

Low battery warning

section for details).

Electrical/radio frequency interference, obstructions, weather conditions and even sunspots can interrupt the signal from your remote to the system. The

remote controls are the keys to your system. But these remote controls are much more secure than car keys because each incorporates our ACG 2

(Anti-CodeGrabbing 2) technology with trillions of digital codes for the ultimate protection against remote control cloning devices. You will use your Arrow 3

remote control to arm and disarm the system, lock and unlock the doors, activate/deactivate the panic feature, enable/exit valet mode and command options

such as a remote trunk release, power window control, electric garage door interface or even remote starting of the engine and heater or air conditioner,

among other options.

Remotely controlling your Clifford system

TO ARM:

Press button

. Upon arming: two siren chirps, two parking light flashes, dashboard LED flashes repeatedly and doors lock.

TO DISARM:

Press button

. Upon disarming: one chirp, one parking light flash, LED turns off, doors unlock and the interior lights turn on.

TO ARM OR

DISARM SILENTLY:

Simultaneously press both the

button

and

the

button to arm or disarm without chirp acknowledgments.

TO PANIC:

For three seconds,

continually

press button

. The parking lights will flash repeatedly and the siren will blare for 30 seconds

(American model) or until you press the button again (European model). If the ignition is on (indicating you are in the car), the

doors will automatically lock to prevent an assailant from entering (note: some vehicles are unable to lock the doors while the

ignition is on). If the ignition is off, the doors will unlock, allowing you to enter immediately without fumbling with your keys.

TO REMOTELY

OPEN THE TRUNK:

If you have this option, press button

while the system is in its disarmed state.

TO REMOTELY

START THE ENGINE:

If you have this option, press button

to remotely start the engine (or shut it down if idling under the control of IntelliStart 4).

Before remote starting, be sure to see the

Remote Engine Starting DOs and DON’Ts

noted in the IntelliStart 4 user’s manual.

TO TURN VALET

MODE ON OR OFF:

Simultaneously press buttons

and

to enable/exit valet mode (see page 5 for information on valet mode).

TO REMOTELY OPEN

OR VENT WINDOWS:

If you have this option, press buttons

and

after disarming to fully open the windows controlled by SmartWindows 4.

On hot days, press this button combination right after arming to vent the windows slightly while the system remains armed.

ACG 2 (Anti-CodeGrabbing 2™)

ACG 2 protects you and your automobile from code-grabbing devices. Code-grabbers literally record, from hundreds of feet away, the code sent by your

car alarm remote control (code-grabbers are very similar to, but simpler than, cellphone “cloning” devices). The thief then plays back the code when

you’re gone, instantly disarming the alarm and unlocking the doors. It’s like leaving your keys and remote in the door. Many non-Clifford alarms can be

defeated that easily, and some of the latest “smart” code-grabbers can even decipher the code hopping/jumping sequence used by other car alarm

manufacturers. In contrast, your Arrow 3 uses complex digital signal processing and unbreachable code encryption to randomly change the digital code

every time you use the remote control. Your remotes will

never

transmit the same code twice, and the control unit will

never

accept the same code twice.

Thus the code played back by the code-grabber — even the latest generation smart code-grabbers — will never be accepted by your Arrow 3 system.
