User manual CLIFFORD NOVA 3

[. . . ] Several actions will confirm remote arming: · The siren will chirp twice (unless the chirps are muted, see below) · The parking lights will flash twice · The doors will lock · The LED indicator inside your car will flash continuously · The windows and/or sunroof will close (if equipped with the optional SmartWindows II accessory) 2. Release the button as soon as you observe any of the above. How to Silently Arm or Disarm the System with the Remote Control Whenever you wish, you may remotely arm or disarm your Nova III without the normal chirp indications. This is particularly useful when parking late at night in a residential area. [. . . ] You have three chirp muting choices: · Long-Term Chirp Silencing: You may disable the chirps until you wish to restore them. To do so, see How to Set User-Selectable Features on pages 9-10. · One-Cycle Chirp Muting: You may disable the chirps for only one arm-anddisarm cycle, after which the chirps are automatically restored. To do so, simply turn the vehicle's ignition switch "ON" and "OFF" rapidly. When you next arm, and later disarm, the chirps will be silenced. · On-the-Go Remote Chirp Muting: You may silently arm or disarm the alarm with the remote control on-the-go and without any prior preparation by simultaneously pressing buttons I and II of the remote control. Enhanced AutoArmingTM If you forget to remotely arm Nova III, it will arm itself automatically 30 seconds after the vehicle doors are closed. If you re-open any door(s) within the 30-second countdown, AutoArming will restart from the beginning once all doors are closed. This ensures you'll never accidentally leave your vehicle unprotected. Nova III includes all these Enhanced AutoArming features: · AutoArming Enable/Disable: If you prefer, you may, at any time, deactivate or reactivate AutoArming. To do, see How to Set User-Selectable Features on pages 9-10. · Visual Acknowledgement: Five seconds after you exit the vehicle and close all the doors, the parking lights will flash twice to confirm that the AutoArming countdown is progressing. Then, 25 seconds later, the system will AutoArm. · AutoArm & Lock: To ensure you can't accidently lock your keys inside the car, your Nova III is factory-set not to lock the doors upon AutoArming. To change this setting, see How to Set User-Selectable Features on pages 9-10. NOTE: To prevent AutoArming of the system when fueling the vehicle, either enable valet mode or leave one of the doors open (the system AutoArms 30 seconds after all doors are closed). What to Do If You Inadvertently Cause the Alarm to Sound If you unintentionally alarm the system, just press button I on your remote control or enable valet mode to disarm the system. 3 Smart AutoTestingTM In the rare event of a trigger or sensor malfunction, your Nova III will alert you of the problem and will store the identity of the specific malfunctioning point in its built-in, non-volatile memory. Here's how it works: Arm the alarm with the remote control. If the system detects a malfunctioning trigger, you will immediately hear four chirps and see four parking light flashes instead of the usual 2 chirps/2 flashes. If a sensor malfunction is detected, the system will issue the usual 2 chirps and 2 flashes, then, 5 seconds later, it will emit 4 chirps and 4 flashes. NOTE: Since this is a warning indication, you will hear the 4-chirp signal even if you are using the chirp muting feature. Malfunction AutoBypassTM Once the Smart AutoTesting feature identifies a trigger or sensor malfunction and records it in its built-in, non-volatile memory, your Nova III will instantly override the defect and arm all other points. Your vehicle will never be without some measure of protection. You should, as soon as possible, take your vehicle to your Authorized Clifford Dealer for servicing. TotalRecallTM of Last Activated Trigger or Sensor The Nova III's non-volatile memory automatically stores the last trigger or sensor activated, thereby providing an invaluable diagnostics means. To recall the identity of the last activated trigger or sensor, use the following procedure: 1. Disarm your Nova III with button I on the remote control. With the ignition OFF, flick the valet/programming switch. [. . . ] The system is armed and the sensor input is seconds after reautomatically bypassed. mote arming 5 AutoLockTM and AutoUnLockTM For additional safety, AutoLock automatically locks all of your vehicle's doors when you start the engine. Conversely, AutoUnLock unlocks the doors for you and your passengers when you turn the ignition off. To deactivate (or reactivate) this feature, see How to Set User-Selectable Features on pages 9-10. Smart Prior Intrusion Attempt Alert If the alarm was activated while you were away, when you disarm with the remote control your Nova III will issue three chirps and three parking light flashes instead of the usual one chirp/one flash. NOTE: Since this is a warning indication, you will hear the 3-chirp signal even if you are using the chirp muting feature. When you enter your vehicle, the LED status indicator will be blinking 1-3 times, pause, then repeat the blink cycle four more times to indicate the trigger/sensor that detected the intrusion attempt.
