Autolock And Autounlock; Dual-Sensor Protection; Smart Autotesting; Specific Malfunction Identification - Clifford 500 Owner's Manual

AutoLock/AutoUnLock™
For your safety and that of your passengers, the vehicle doors will automatically
lock the instant you turn on the ignition to start the engine (see User-selectable
features on pages 15-16). When you turn the ignition off to shut down the engine,
the AutoUnLock feature automatically unlocks the doors.

Dual-Sensor Protection

Your ACE 500 has two sensors: A Proximity Sensor that can detect anyone leaning
into the passenger compartment, and a Piezo Sensor that detects intrusion-related
vibrations and impacts. This provides twice the level of protection offered by most
other brands of car alarms.

Smart AutoTesting™

Each time you remotely arm your ACE 500, it automatically performs an extensive
test of all system triggers and sensors. If the hood or trunk is open when you
remotely arm, the system will immediately alert you of the problem by sounding 4
chirps and 4 parking light flashes instead of the usual 2 and 2 (simply disarm, shut
the hood or trunk and re-arm to reactivate monitoring of that trigger point). If a door
is ajar or if one of the sensors is malfunctioning, you will receive the usual 2 chirps
and 2 flashes, then, 5 seconds later, there will be 4 chirps and 4 flashes. (The door
ajar warning will not work on vehicles that have factory-delayed courtesy lights).
NOTE: Since this is a warning indication, you will hear the 4 chirps even if you
have the chirp muting feature turned on.

Specific malfunction identification:

malfunctioning trigger or sensor. 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 blinking, pause, then repeat.
2. Count the number of blinks in one cycle between pauses (for your convenience,
the blink cycle repeats a total of 5 times) and refer to the chart below:
Number of LED blinks between pauses
1 blink
2 blinks*
3 blinks
* 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.
