All car alarms have a valet mode that turns off the security features. This mode turns off the alarm if the system is not responding to the remote. However,

thieves disable other alarms by flicking this easy-to-find "hidden" valet switch. In contrast, your system has safeguards that ensure a thief cannot enable the

valet mode as a way of "turning off" your system. To enable valet mode, the driver must first enter the secret valet/disarming PIN (personal identification

number) code — the same PIN code described in the BlackJax anti-carjacking section — on the PlainView 2 switch mounted on your vehicle's dash or

console. When the system is in valet mode, it overrides AutoArming and all other security features, which is handy when refueling or washing your car.

The system's factory-set valet/disarming PIN code is 2: ✱✱ blank.

NOTE: If you temporarily lose the use of your remote controls, you can disarm the system by enabling valet mode.

Entering a code

To enter your PIN code, press the ✱ button the appropriate number of times on the PlainView 2 switch followed by the blank button. To enter a zero, you

simply press the blank button.

EXAMPLE: To enter a code of 1203, you would press: ✱ blank, ✱✱ blank, blank, ✱✱✱ blank.

1. Turn the ignition switch to its "ON" position or start the engine if it is not already running.

2. Enter your valet/disarming PIN code on the PlainView 2 switch.

3. Continue pressing the blank button for 4 seconds. Release the button. The LED will continue to remain on for ongoing visual confirmation of valet mode.

1. Turn the ignition switch to its "ON" position or start the engine if it is not already running.

2. Enter your valet/disarming PIN code on the PlainView 2 switch. The LED will turn off.

Valet mode turns off all security features and prevents AutoArming when, for instance, having your car washed. To turn valet mode on/off, press the

LevelShift button twice, then button 1 (master remote) or simultaneously press the

confirm valet mode on, one flash confirms valet mode off. The dashboard LED will glow continuously when valet mode is on. Your system remains in valet

mode until you again press this button combination to turn it off and restore normal operation. This is a user-selectable feature and may be programmed off if

you wish to use this button combination for a different function. There is a slight security risk associated with remote controlled valet mode in that a carjacker

familiar with Clifford systems could possibly engage valet mode via the remote control before the BlackJax anti-carjacking feature is triggered. Although this is

an unlikely scenario, you may prefer to turn off valet mode entry/exit via the remote control using the User-selectable features programming (column 2, row 3).

With FACT (False Alarm Control and Test), you'll never experience repeated false alarms. If the siren sounds, DO NOT disarm; allow it to run for the

full siren duration. Before sounding the siren a second time, the system automatically checks for another activated sensor or trigger to verify that an

intrusion is in progress. This feature is user-selectable.

Some vehicles are incompatible with the AutoLock and AutoUnLock features.

For your safety and that of your passengers, the doors automatically lock the instant you turn on the ignition. When you turn the ignition off,

AutoUnLock automatically unlocks the doors. These are user-selectable features.

The LED on your car's dashboard or console will inform you of the system status:

LED Condition

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.
