Remotely Adjustable Dual-Zone Piezo Sensor The Dual-Zone Piezo Sensor detects theft-related vibrations/ impacts and triggers the alarm. It also has a secondary warning zone that can detect less serious occurrences - such as someone bumping your car with their car door - and will sound a brief warning tone. If needed, you can adjust sensitivity of these sensor zones via your remote control as described in the following section. To prevent falsing, system sensors are bypassed when the engine is remotely started (if you have the IntelliStart 4 option). Ask your Authorized Clifford Dealer about these optional sensors that will further enhance the security of your vehicle: n Glass Tampering Sensor: Today's thieves shatter vehicle windows with a small metal punch device that does not create any vibrations for an impact sensor to detect. The Glass Tampering Sensor detects the sound of glass breaking, and glass tampering attempts, and will trigger the alarm. n Digital Dual-Zone Proximity Sensor 4: Detects movement inside the passenger compartment and very near the vehicle. If a thief were to lean into the passenger compartment, the primary zone of this sensor would trigger the full alarm. However, if a thief was lingering very close to your windows, a warning tone would sound. Since it can "see" through glass and canvas, this sensor is particularly well suited for use in convertibles and other open or soft-sided vehicles (targa, T-top and Jeep-like vehicles). n Digital Tilt/Motion Sensor: Detects less than one degree of lifting or any minute motion of the vehicle while completely ignoring all other conditions that falsely set off all other sensors. Even if you park on a hill, the Digital Tilt/Motion Sensor will accurately respond to the first hint of tampering to reliably protect your wheels and entire vehicle. Remote controlled Piezo Sensor zone adjustments If the setting(s) of the sensor zones are either too sensitive or not sensitive enough, you may test and adjust them with the master remote control: 1. Disarm the system with the master remote control. 2. On the master remote, press the LevelShift three times, then button 3. You will hear one chirp and the LED will turn on. 3. To test the primary (alarm) zone, press button 4 (you will hear a 2-chirp confirmation), then firmly "thump" the top of the A-pillar (the area between the side windows near the roof) heel of your fist. If the impact is strong enough to trigger the primary zone, you will hear a siren chirp. To change sensitivity, press button 4 to reduce sensitivity, button 2 to increase sensitivity. Higher and higher pitched confirmation chirps will acknowledge sensitivity increases, lower and lower tones decreases. You can again test the new setting by thumping the top of the A-pillar. You may now press button 3 to adjust the warning zone (as noted in 3a. below), or press button 1 to fully exit the sensor adjustment mode (you will hear 3 chirps). a. For the Piezo Sensor warning zone, press button 3 (you'll hear 1 chirp). Then use the same procedure as above, but thump less forcefully for the warning zone. When done, press button 1 to reselect the primary zone (you will hear 2 chirps), then button 1 again to fully exit sensor adjustment mode (you will hear 3 chirps). Remote controlled override of the optional Proximity Sensor Pressing LevelShift button twice, then button 2 on the master remote control or buttons + on the companion remote or anytime while the system is armed will override the optional Proximity Sensor. This comes in handy when you must temporarily leave a pet or a passenger in the vehicle. This sensor override is visually confirmed with 4 flashes of the indicator lights. The sensor is automatically restored the next time you arm. User-Selectable AutoLock and AutoUnLock™ Some vehicles are incompatible with the AutoLock and AutoUnLock features. For your safety and that of your passengers, the doors automatically lock the instant you turn on the ignition. When you turn the ignition off, AutoUnLock automatically unlocks the doors. These are user-selectable features. How to interpret the LED status indicator The LED on your car's dashboard or console will inform you of the system status: LED Condition Off On Meaning System is disarmed and in normal operating mode (i.e., valet mode is off) Valet mode is on, the vehicle may be entered without having to disarm Flashing rapidly (ignition off) System is armed and protecting your vehicle Flashing slowly System is disarmed but the Two-Point AutoImmobilisation has been engaged (European models only) Flashes, pause, flashes Either an error (such as arming with the trunk open) or indicates the trigger or sensor that was tripped Automatic Battery-Saving Mode To conserve vehicle battery power (the LED actually draws more current than the entire control unit), if the system has remained continuously armed for 48 hours, the flash rate will automatically slow to half the normal rate. After 96 hours, it slows to one-quarter. Smart trunk release option If the optional remote trunk release was installed, you may use button 2 of the master remote control or the button of the companion remote to 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). &
