Smart Autotesting; Specific Malfunction Identification; Automatic Malfunction Bypass; Totalrecall - Clifford Concept ACE 300 Owner's Manual

Smart AutoTesting™

Each time you remotely arm your ACE 300, 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 a sensor 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.

Automatic malfunction bypass

The system automatically bypasses any faulty point and arms all other triggers and
sensors to provide the utmost possible protection until you can have the system
serviced by your local Authorized Clifford Dealer.

TotalRecall™

The system's memory records the identity of the last activated or malfunctioning
trigger or sensor, which allows your installer to instantly track down a malfunction.
To identify the trigger or sensor held in memory, use the following procedure:
1. With the ignition OFF, flick the valet switch.
2. Press button 1 to "arm" the system, then again to "disarm."
3. The LED will blink 1–3 times. For your convenience, the blink cycle will pause
and repeat a total of 5 times. Refer to the chart above.
