Dual-Zone Piezo Sensor The Dual-Zone Piezo Sensor detects theft-related vibrations/ impacts and triggers the alarm. It also has a warning zone that detects less serious occurrences -such as someone bumping your car door with their's-and sounds a brief warning tone. If needed, sensitivity of this sensor can be readjusted by any Authorized Clifford Dealer (preferably your installing dealer). 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 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. 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). 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 button on your 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, one or more SmartWindows 4 accessories are needed. One SmartWindows 4 module can control two power windows. 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 prevously 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 that have 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 the button to arm the system and lock the doors. While the system is armed, your Cyber 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 offline while the engine is idling, then automatically bring them back online right after the engine is shut down. 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. 6
