Dual-Zone Piezo Sensor & Glass Tampering 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 sound a brief warning tone. 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 triggers the alarm. It will detect most attempts, even if the glass does not break in the attempt. If needed, sensitivity of these sensors 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 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. High-Output Insignia Siren This Clifford-engineered siren is more rugged than generic sirens and has these features: n User-selectable chirp volume: You can control the volume of the arm and disarm chirps. From the factory, your system issues QuietChirps. If you prefer, you may select the full-volume LoudChirp acknowledgments. See User-selectable features. n Remote siren silencing: If triggered by a non-threatening event, you can silence the siren without remotely disarming. Press button while the siren is sounding. Two chirps confirm that the sensor activated the alarm and the system is remaining armed. Four chirps confirm that the system is still armed, but that the ignition is on or the hood, trunk or a door is open and that this may indeed be a genuine theft attempt. n Automatic noise abatement: Alarm sounding is limited to five siren duration cycles even if a door is left open in the wake of an intrusion. n Long-term chirp silencing: You may silence the arm and disarm chirps on a long-term basis until you decide to restore them. Your vehicle's parking light flashes will continue to provide visual confirmation of remote controlled system arming and disarming. See User-selectable features. n Selectable siren duration (non-European models only*): You may change the factory set 30-second siren duration to 60 or 90 seconds via the programming procedure or via the CliffNet Wizard software. See User-selectable features. n Personalized Siren Sounds (requires the Self-Powered SmartSiren 4 option) (non-European models only*): The optional Self-Powered SmartSiren 4 sounds six different alarm sounds. You may turn any of the six sounds on or off via the User-selectable features programming to create a different combination of sound patterns. So if you hear a siren at a distance, you will know for sure whether it is your car or someone else's. See User-selectable features (column 1, row 2). What's more, with the optional CliffNet Wizard software and DataPort Replicator Cable, you may select up to six sounds from more than a dozen different siren sound choices for truly unique customization. n Choose when your Personalized Siren Sounds* play: For more information at a distance, you may choose to have your Personalized Siren Sounds "play" every time the alarm is set off, or you may set the system to sound them only upon trigger activation. When set to "trigger only" the basic siren wail will sound if a sensor is activated, but the Personalized Siren Sounds will play if the hood, trunk or a door is opened. See User-selectable features (column 1, row 3). * EC regulations prohibit this feature in Europe 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 Meaning Off System is disarmed and in normal operating mode (i.e., valet mode is off) On 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 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). 6
