Smart prior intrusion attempt alert
If you hear three chirps when you remotely disarm, it means that a trigger or sensor was
activated in your absence. When you enter the vehicle and turn on the ignition, the LED
will flash 1–5 times, pause, then repeat the flash cycle 4 more times. Count the number
of flashes in one cycle and refer to the chart on page 24
AutoLock and AutoUnLock
For your safety and that of your passengers, the doors automatically lock when you start
driving at about 15-20 mph, and automatically unlock when you park the vehicle and
turn the ignition off. To suit your preferences, you may turn off either or both the
AutoLock and/or AutoUnLock features. What's more, if you prefer to have the system
AutoLock the doors the instant the ignition switch is turned on, you may do so. See
User-Selectable Features on pages 31-35.
Smart boot release option
If the remote boot release feature was installed, you may use the remote control's button
2 to remotely pop the boot. Your AvantGuard III has a built-in electronic interlock to
prevent unintentional activation of the remote boot release when you drive, or when the
system is armed.
Smart Self-Powered Medallion Siren with Digital ComLink
This siren has its own built-in back-up battery, so even if a thief cuts all the wires, the
siren will continue to wail. Furthermore, this unique Clifford-designed and
manufactured siren delivers 10 times the long-term reliability of "generic" sirens and
provides all these important additional enhancements:
n Unbreachable Digital ComLink:
a serial communications link that ensures that — if the system fuse is pulled, or if
power to the system is interrupted, or if any siren wire is tampered with while the
system is armed — the siren will instantly activate for five minutes. However, if the
system is disarmed or in valet mode (see page 18) and power is interrupted for
authorised servicing, the siren will remain silent. This eliminates the need for a special
separate shutoff key common to other battery-backed sirens (which one can rarely ever
find when one really needs it). This ingenious Clifford feature guards against any
possibility of a thief tampering with the system.
n Smart-charging:
Other battery-backed sirens continually draw charging current
from your vehicle's battery. In time, this can drain the car's battery. Clifford's
Smart Self-Powered Medallion Siren only draws charging current while the
vehicle's ignition is on, i.e., while you're driving. This prevents battery drain.
n Low battery warning:
fails to hold its charge, the normal arm and disarm chirps will be muted to alert
you of the problem. Once the back-up battery is charged, the chirps will
automatically be restored.
