Timer options The system's built-in electronic timer can be optionally wired to provide one of several different functions. Timer duration settings can be made by your installing Clifford Dealer or by you via the CliffNet Wizard. Ask your Authorized Clifford Dealer for further details: Remote controlled timed headlight activation option The timer can be wired to provide remote controlled headlight activation for any duration you wish between 1 second and 4 minutes, allowing you to remotely light your way to and from the vehicle by pressing the LevelShift button once then button 1 on the master remote control or pressing the button on the companion remote control. Window AutoClose option The timer can automatically close the windows upon remote arming on vehicles with an "all-close" feature that raises them if the key is held in the driver's door (a common feature on several European vehicle models). NOTE: Although this timer circuit could be wired to control power windows on non-European cars that do not have this key-in-the-door "all-close" feature, Clifford Electronics strongly recommends against this. If so wired, the timer would force the window motors to "shut" the windows even if they were already closed. This places excessive strain on the vehicle's window motors, causing overheating, premature failure and even the possibility of fire. As such, if you cannot close the windows of your vehicle by turning and holding the key in the driver's door, do not permit the system's timer circuit to be wired to automatically close the windows. If your car does not have an all-close feature, SmartWindows 4 is needed. In addition to automatically closing the power windows every time you arm, SmartWindows 4 also allows you to remotely roll down the windows after disarming and to remotely vent them open slightly for ventilation on hot days. Inside the car, SmartWindows 4 also provides one-touch full open, one-touch full close and one-touch stop to each of your factory window control switches. Window AutoClose Instant Bypass If you have the timer-based window closure option noted above, you may choose to arm without automatically closing the windows. This is handy on hot days by allowing you to leave one or more windows slightly open while the system remains armed. To do so, simply turn the ignition switch to "ON" and then "OFF" rapidly. You will hear a chirp confirmation (this action also activates Instant AutoArming bypass previously noted). When you then exit and arm, the system will not close the windows. Normal autoclose operation is restored the next time you arm. Turbo timer option Vehicles with turbocharged engines often require a cool-down period of one to several minutes after driving, particularly high-rev driving. Until now, drivers of such vehicles had two choices: sit in the car after parking and wait several minutes to turn off the engine, or have an expensive turbo timer accessory added that would often interfere with car alarm operation. But with the addition of an optional relay, your system's timer output can save you money and make turbo cool-down easy and convenient. If you have this option installed, just press the assigned button or button combination(your Clifford installer will have told you which he has assigned to this function) on the remote control before shutting off the engine. Then remove your car key (the engine will continue running), exit, and press button 1 of the master remote or the button of the companion remote to arm the system and lock the doors. While the system is armed, your Bullet 4 will continue to idle the engine for any duration you choose up to 4 minutes. To ensure against any possibility of false alarms, the system will keep the sensors off-line while the engine is idling, then automatically bring them back online right after the engine is shut down. 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 9 flashes 10 flashes Meaning Activation of an optional sensor Activation of Piezo Sensor Door open/ajar Trunk open/ajar Hood open/ajar Ignition switch was turned on while the system was armed Three or more incorrect valet codes were entered BlackJax anti-carjacking countermeasure was triggered 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. 9

Timer options
The system’s built-in electronic timer can be optionally wired to provide one of several different functions. Timer duration settings can be made by your
installing Clifford Dealer or by you via the CliffNet Wizard. Ask your Authorized Clifford Dealer for further details:
