Smart AutoTesting

Each time you remotely arm the system, it tests all triggers and sensors. If the bonnet or
boot is open when you remotely arm, the system will immediately alert you of the
problem by sounding 4 chirps and 4 side light flashes instead of the usual 2 and 2. If a
door is ajar, you will receive the usual 2 chirps and flashes, then, 5 seconds later, there
will be 4 chirps and 4 flashes (the door ajar warning will not work on vehicles that have
delayed or dimming courtesy lights). 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
are using the chirp muting feature.
n Specific malfunction identification:
sensor that is malfunctioning. If you receive the 4-chirp/4-flash signal upon remote
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:
Number of LED flashes between pauses
1 flash
2 flashes
3 flashes*
4 flashes
5 flashes
* 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 feature.

Automatic malfunction bypass

To provide the utmost protection even if a system component malfunctions, the system
will automatically bypass any faulty point and arm all other triggers and sensors to
provide the utmost possible protection until you can have the system serviced by your
local Authorised Clifford Dealer. If you accidentally armed the system with the bonnet,
boot or a door open, just close the open point and the system will again monitor that point.

Multiple-event TotalRecall

The system's memory records the identity of the last eight activated or malfunctioning
triggers and sensors, which allows your installer to instantly track down malfunctions. To
identify the triggers and sensors held in the system's memory, use the following procedure:
1. With the ignition OFF, flick the PlainView valet switch to its latched side.
2. Press button 1 to "arm" the system, then again to "disarm."
3. The LED will flash 1–5 times to indicate the most recently activated point, pause,
flash 1–5 times to indicate the next most recently activated point, and so on.
4. Write down the number of flashes between pauses and refer to the chart above.
