User manual CLIFFORD AVANTGUARD 3

[. . . ] World-Class Auto Security TM AvantGuard III Owner's Manual WARNING The AvantGuard III system is designed to be used ONLY on a fuel-injected, petrol or diesel powered vehicle with an automatic transmission. Installing AvantGuard III on a vehicle that has a manual transmission poses an EXTREME SAFETY RISK!Never install a Clifford remote engine starting product on a manual transmission vehicle. Always exercise good judgment and common sense when using the remote starter: · NEVER remotely start the vehicle in an enclosed area without sufficient ventilation. · NEVER allow children access to the remote controls. [. . . ] When your spouse disarms with the other remote, the seating position will automatically adjust to your spouse's settings. In other words, when you disarm with remote #1, AvantGuard III will automatically activate the vehicle's memory seat position #1; when disarmed with remote #2, memory position #2 is activated, and so on in any combination you wish using up to four different remote controls and four different memory positions. The two remote controls that came with your AvantGuard III have been preset to activate your vehicle's memory positions #1 and #2. You can change the assignments of these two remote controls and/or associate additional remote controls with other memory positions. See User-Selectable Features on pages 31-35. 20 Dual sensors Your AvantGuard III system has both a Digital Dual-Zone Proximity Sensor IV and a Dual-Zone Piezo Sensor. The Digital Dual-Zone Proximity Sensor IV is a microprocessor-controlled passenger compartment radar sensor that provides full perimeter protection: If someone is lurking near your car, the sensor's exterior warning zone will trigger the system to sound a one-second warning tone, but if a thief actually leans into the passenger compartment through an open window or tries to cut through a soft-top, the sensor instantly triggers the system to blast the siren, flash the side lights and immobilise the starter and ignition system. What's more, thanks to Clifford Electronics' advanced engineering, this new-generation radar sensor uses only 30% of the power required by other radar sensors (so it won't drain your car battery), yet provides better sensitivity and far more precise discrimination between genuine threats to your vehicle and everyday environmental conditions that cause other radar sensors to false alarm. The Dual-Zone Piezo Sensor is an all-electronic vibration/impact sensor. If someone forcefully leans on your parked vehicle or lightly taps the bumper while parking, the Piezo Sensor's warning zone will cause the system to issue a warning (a different sound than that triggered by the Proximity Sensor, so you can easily distinguish between the two). However, if there is any genuine intrusion-related tampering, the Piezo sensor will instantly trigger the system to blast the siren, flash the side lights and immobilise the starter and ignition system. Unlike other vibration/impact sensors, the sensitivity settings of the Dual-Zone Piezo Sensor are impervious to temperature variations. Both sensors are completely adjustable by you with just a few presses on your remote control. This makes it particularly easy to reduce the sensitivity a few steps when, for instance, in a vibration-prone parking area such as a busy road with large trucks and buses passing close to your vehicle. Remote controlled sensor adjustments Unlike other alarm sensors, you can adjust sensitivity of the two system sensors electronically without tools and without even knowing where they are mounted!If the setting(s) of the Dual-Zone Proximity Sensor IV and/or Dual-Zone Piezo Sensor are either too sensitive or not sensitive enough, you may individually test and adjust the settings of each zone. To make adjustments, just use the following procedure: 1. Disarm the system with the remote control, open the driver's window (if adjusting the Proximity Sensor), then select the sensor and sensor zone you wish to adjust: a. Proximity Sensor interior alarm zone: Transmit channel 11 (LevelShift twice, then button 3). Proximity Sensor exterior warning zone: Transmit channel 12 (LevelShift twice, then button 4). Piezo Sensor primary alarm zone: Transmit channel 15 (LevelShift three times, then button 3). Piezo Sensor secondary warning zone: Transmit channel 16 (LevelShift three times, then button 4). To test the current sensitivity setting of the sensor zone you selected: 21 a. Proximity Sensor alarm zone: Lean into the passenger compartment. You'll hear a chirp when the zone detects your presence. Ideally, it should chirp when you lean over the driver's seat, but remain silent as you lean toward the window. [. . . ] After about 10 seconds you will hear 4 rapid chirps, indicating that all user-selectable features except the valet code and remotes have been reset to their factory settings. 33 Table of user-selectable features: 1 chirp = OFF, two chirps = ON Feature Select Row 1 1st momentary Row 2 2nd momentary Row 3 3rd momentary Row 4 4th momentary Row 5 5th momentary Row 6 6th momentary Column 1 1st latched Sound 1: on/off info on page 26 Sound 2: on/off info on page 26 Sound 3: on/off info on page 26 Sound 4: on/off info on page 26 Sound 5: on/off info on page 26 Sound 6: on/off info on page 26 Column 2 2nd latched Add new remote to channel 1 info on page 15 NOTE 1 Add new remote to channel 2 info on page 15 NOTE 1 Add new remote to channel 3 info on page 15 NOTE 1 Add new remote to channel 4 info on page 15 NOTE 1 Add new remote to channel 5 info on page 15 NOTE 1 Erase all channels info on page 26 NOTE 2 Column 3 3rd latched AutoLock: on/off info on page 25 AutoUnLock: on/off info on page 25 FACT: on/off info on page 23 AutoActivate channel 4 timed accessory upon remote arming this feature is for installers only QuietChirps: on/off info on page 26 Long-term chirp silencing: on/off info on page 26 Column 4 4th latched AutoArming: on/off info on page 18 AutoArm & Lock: on/off info on page 18 15-second entry delay: on/off info on page 18 AutoStart: battery mode/ temperature mode/dual mode/off (2/3/4/1 chirps) NOTE 3 Siren duration: 60/30 seconds (1/2 chirps) info on page 26 Set a new secret valet code info on page 20 NOTE 4 Column 5 5th latched NightVision: off/on but no post-parking illumination/on (1/2/3 chirps) info on page 23 Column 6 6th latched Use this remote to activate which memory seat position?info on page 20 NOTE 6 Door ajar warning/delayed Post-parking and remote headlight courtesy lights duration: 1sec­2. 0min (30sec) info on pages 15 and 23 NOTE 5 this feature is for installers only SilentNight: on/off info on page 23 D Channel 4 timer: 1sec-2. 0min (30sec) info on page 15 NOTE 5 RPM-activated AutoLock: on/off info on page 25 RPM programming this feature is for installers only Channel 4 output type: Lock pulse duration: 3sec/1sec pulsed/timed/latched this feature is for installers only this feature is for installers only NOT USED Diesel/gasoline fuel injection this feature is for installers only D WARNING: If the system automatically closes the power windows and sunroof when you remotely arm, DO NOT CHANGE THIS SETTING: It requires installer-only adjustment.
