Main te nance

Your Clifford system requires no maintenance except for periodic replacement of the remote control batteries. This product, like any electrical device in

your vehicle, requires your car battery be in proper working order and fully charged. To ensure proper operation, periodically have your vehicle battery

“load-checked” at any local garage/mechanic. Also make sure the battery cables and connections are tight and free from corrosion.

Wel come to the world of

high- technology ve hi cle se cu rity and con ven ience

ongratulations on the purchase of your Clifford Electronics mobile security/convenience system. Clifford Electronics has long been recognized as the

leading manufacturer of high-technology vehicle security systems. Our commitment to technological innovation, quality and reliability is clearly evident

in your Clifford system. Yet despite all its sophistication, your system is amazingly easy to use, never more difficult than a few presses of a button.

Black Jax ve hi cle re cov ery/anti- carjacking fea ture

Bullet 4’s BlackJax feature provides a safe and effective means of recovering your vehicle after a theft or carjacking. In a carjacking situation, the sooner you

are out of the car the better. Don’t resist or take anything with you, just get out and get away. The instant the car door is opened, your Bullet 4 takes

charge. First it allows the carjacker to drive a short distance, ensuring your safety. Then it repeatedly flashes the brake lights and continuously sounds the

siren to caution nearby drivers and draw attention to your stolen vehicle. The system ignores the remote control at this point (since the carjacker most

likely has it). Then when the carjacker slows for a turn or traffic, BlackJax safely shuts down the engine and prevents it from being restarted.

Bullet 4 assures the thief cannot restart the engine even if he were to find and remove the system control unit. Unable to restart the engine, and with your

vehicle stalled in the middle of traffic — siren wailing and lights flashing — the carjacker has no choice but to abandon your car. (The same occurs to anyone

who steals your parked car from you at a gas station or in a parking lot, which are the most common carjacking sites). To recover your vehicle, you simply

walk a block or two to your car, enter your PIN (personal identification number) code, and the system releases control of the vehicle to you.

Your secret PIN code tells the system that the car is being driven by an authorized person. If you or a passenger opens and closes a car door at any point

while the engine is running (as would occur in a carjacking attempt),

you must again enter your secret code

VERY IM POR TANT:

The fac tory set ting for the anti- carjacking fea ture is OFF. Once you are fa mil iar with the

fol low ing, we sug gest you turn this fea ture ON (see the User-selectable features section). When anti- carjacking is
on, each time you be gin driv ing you MUST en ter your PIN code via the PlainView 2 switch on the dash board or
con sole (un less the sys tem is in valet mode). You may turn this fea ture on or off any time.

IF YOU HAVE THE PAGEMATE 4 OPTION:

PageMate 4’s phone-in STOP command eliminates the need to

enter your PIN every time you drive. Instead, if your vehicle is stolen at gunpoint, just call your toll-free PageMate 4
phone number from any touch-tone phone and spell out STOP to activate the BlackJax anti-carjacking electronics.

En able/dis able the anti- carjacking fea ture

You may enable or disable the BlackJax anti-carjacking feature (see

User-selectable features

) or temporarily override it via PlainView 2 Coded Valet Mode.

Your se cret dis arm ing PIN code

Unless the BlackJax anti-carjacking feature is turned off or the system is in valet mode, 20 seconds after you switch on the ignition and press the brake (or

open and close a door while the engine is running), you

must

enter your secret disarming PIN code on the PlainView 2 switch (mounted on the

dashboard or console) to let the system know it is you who is driving.

Your sys tem’s factory- set PIN code is the sin gle digit 2.

En ter ing a code

To enter your code, press the

✱

button the appropriate number of times on the PlainView 2 switch on the dashboard or console followed by the blank

button. To enter a zero, you simply press the blank button.

EX AM PLE: To en ter the factory- set code of 2, you would press and re lease the switch in this man ner:

✱✱

blank.

EX AM PLE: To en ter a code of 1203, you would press:

✱

blank,

✱✱

blank, blank,

✱✱✱

blank.

IM POR TANT: What you MUST do to drive your car

If you have the BlackJax feature turned on, until you set your own PIN code, you will use the factory-set code of “2.” To drive your car, do the following:
1. Shut all doors, then start the engine.

2. Enter the factory-set disarming code of 2:

✱✱

blank (you may do this while driving, if you wish).

3. The dashboard LED will flash on for an instant to confirm proper code entry. You may now drive or continue driving the vehicle.

What you MUST do if you hear 5 si ren chirps while driv ing

If you forget to enter the code, the system will remind you 20 seconds after you begin driving by

“chirping”

the siren 5 times and flashing the LED. At this

point, you have another 20 seconds to enter your code. When entered, the LED will stop flashing and the siren will chirp once to confirm proper code

entry. If the proper code is

not

entered within 20 seconds after the 5-chirp signal, the engine will shut down as soon as you slow for traffic or a turn. You

may enter your disarming code even after the engine is shut down. Once the proper disarming code is entered, you will be able to resume driving.

“Guess ing” your code won’t help a car jacker

What if the carjacker is familiar with Clifford’s patented PlainView 2 coding system and tries guessing codes at random? No problem. After three

incorrect codes are entered, the system will ignore any further code entries for a short time. So even if the carjacker were to actually stumble upon your

code during this time, he would

still

not be able to silence your system or restart the engine.

How to set your own valet/disarming PIN code

Your secret valet/disarming PIN code will be used to deactivate BlackJax, enter valet mode and enter programming mode. You may choose any 1-4-digit

PIN code, but the first digit must not be a zero (e.g., 1023 is a valid code, 0123 is not). See

User-selectable features

. Let’s say you want to set a PIN code of 4301:

1. From the

Table of user-selectable features

, you would note that the

Set a new secret valet/disarming PIN code

feature is in column 2, row 7.

2. Enter program mode by turning on the ignition, entering your current code, then pressing and holding the

✱

button of the PlainView 2 switch for 3

seconds until you hear a chirp.

3. Select column 2 by pressing the blank button twice. After a brief pause, you will hear 2 chirps to confirm that you have selected feature column 2.

4. Within 5 seconds, select row 7 by pressing and releasing the

✱

button 7 times. To help you count, you will hear a chirp each time you press the

✱

button. After 7 presses,

immediately

press the blank button, then

immediately

enter your new code.

Example: To enter 4301 as your new code, you would press the switch buttons in this manner:

✱✱✱✱

blank,

✱✱✱

blank, blank,

✱

blank.

Wait

for the 2-chirp confirmation.

6. Turn off the ignition to exit program mode (you’ll hear a 3-chirp confirmation).

VERY IMPORTANT: You must immediately test your new valet/disarming PIN code:

Turn on the ignition, enter your new code, then press and

hold the blank button for 4 seconds. The LED will illuminate to indicate that the system is in valet mode. Turn the ignition off. The system is now in valet

mode.

If the LED does not illuminate, the new code you programmed and the one you just entered do not match. In such a
case, the system will revert to the previous code.

8. To exit valet mode and return to normal operation, turn the ignition on and enter your code.

Your re mote con trols

The 5-button master remote control and the 4-button companion remote are sophisticated miniature radio transmitters each powered by a tiny battery

(12-volt alkaline for the master remote, a 3-volt lithium battery for the companion remote). A weak remote control battery will reduce range (the system

will warn you if the battery in your remote is nearing the end of its useful life, see the

Low battery warning

section for details). Electrical/radio frequency

interference, obstructions, weather conditions and even sunspots can interrupt the signal from your remote to the system.The remote controls are the keys to

your system. But these remote controls are much more secure than car keys because each incorporates our ACG 2 (Anti-CodeGrabbing 2) technology with

trillions of digital codes for the ultimate protection against remote control cloning devices. You will use your Bullet 4 remote control to arm and disarm the

system, lock and unlock the doors, activate/deactivate the panic feature, enter/exit valet mode and command options such as a remote trunk release, power

window control, electric garage door interface or even remote starting of the engine and heater or air conditioner, among other options.

ACG 2 (Anti- CodeGrabbing 2™)

ACG 2 protects you and your automobile from code-grabbing devices. Code-grabbers record, from hundreds of feet away, the code sent by your car alarm

remote control (code-grabbers are very similar to, but simpler than, cellphone “cloning” devices). The thief then plays back the code when you’re gone,

instantly disarming the alarm and unlocking the doors. It’s like leaving your keys and remote in the door. Many non-Clifford alarms can be defeated that

easily, and some of the latest “smart” code-grabbers can even decipher the code hopping/jumping sequence used by other car alarm manufacturers. In

contrast, your Bullet 4 uses complex digital signal processing and unbreachable code encryption to randomly change the digital code every time you use

the remote control. Your remotes will

never

transmit the same code twice, and the control unit will

never

accept the same code twice. Thus the code

played back by the code-grabber — even the latest generation smart code-grabbers — will never be accepted by your Bullet 4 system.

Add ing new re mote con trols

For other drivers, or to control Clifford G4 systems on your other cars with the same remote, you can buy additional remote controls from any Clifford

Dealer (or direct from the Customer Service Department of your nearest Clifford Headquarters listed on the front cover) and program them into the

system yourself. Bullet 4 will respond to as many as four remote controls.

NOTE: Clifford G4 systems will re spond only to G4-type ACG 2 re mote con trols. Older Clif ford ACG and non- ACG
re mote con trols are not com pati ble with G4 systems.

To add a new

master

5-button remote control, use the

Add new master remote

feature (column 1, row 1) of the

User-selectable features

table. To add a new

companion

4-button remote, program each button and button combination to the specific functions noted in column 4.

Auto matic re mote con trol low- battery warn ing

If your remote control battery is low, you’ll hear an unusually low-pitched chirp when you remotely disarm your Bullet 4. Replacement batteries are available from

any Authorized Clifford Dealer.

Re mote con trol bat tery re place ment

Replacement of a remote control battery is fairly easy, but any Authorized Clifford Dealer will be happy to do it for you without cost provided that you buy the

replacement battery at their shop (it’s also a good idea to keep a spare of each battery in your glove box just in case).

Mas ter re mote:

1. Unscrew the retaining screw on the back of the remote control.

2. Carefully pry apart the remote control case with your fingernails or a small, thin screwdriver blade near the keyring opening (you may leave the keyring

in place).

3. Remove the old battery noting the + and – indications and replace it with the new one.

4. Put the enclosure back together by first aligning the LevelShift button side, then the top of the remote, then snap the case back together at the

bottom.

5. Reinsert the retaining screw but

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

Com pan ion re mote:

1. Insert a small, thin screwdriver blade in the slot near the keyring opening (you may leave the keyring in place) and turn it to separate the two halves.

2. Remove the old battery noting the + and – indications and replace it with the new one.

3. Put the enclosure back together by first aligning the top of the remote, then snapping the case back together at the bottom.

Two-Point AutoIm mo bi li za tion

While armed, your system immobilizes both the starter and ignition systems of your vehicle to prevent a thief from starting the engine. The engine will

remain immobilized even if a thief were to cut power to the system or find and remove the system control unit.

EC compliance in Europe only: Unlike the AutoArming feature noted above, AutoImmobilization occurs 30 seconds
after turning off the ignition regardless of opening/closing the doors. When you remotely disarm, you have 30
seconds to start the engine. If more than 30 seconds pass, AutoImmobilization occurs, as indicated by the LED
repeatedly flashing (but at a slower than normal “armed” rate). If Auto Im mo bi lization occurs, use the re mote
con trol to arm and then disarm or use the engine restart feature below.

Op tional Wire less Im mo bi lizer™

Clifford’s optional Wireless Immobilizer interrupts a third point in the vehicle, such as the fuel pump. This Clifford innovation provides immobilization

without any wires to the control unit, so a thief could not find the Wireless Immobilizer even if he tried tracing the system wires! Operation of the

Wireless Immobilizer is automatic and user-transparent.

BE sure to keep the rec ord your Clif ford in staller pro vides as to the lo ca tion of the Wire less Im mo bi lizer in case your
ve hi cle needs fu ture serv ic ing.

NOTE: If your vehicle’s engine ever stalls, the Wireless Immobilizer WILL engage. You must turn the ignition all the
way to “OFF” in order to restart.

En gine Re start Fea ture: Europe only

In compliance with EC requirements, the AutoImmobilization will automatically engage thirty seconds

after

shutting down the engine. Thus

AutoImmobilization may occur while waiting for a train to pass or other delay. To restart:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position.

2. Press button 1 of the master remote control or button

of the companion remote.

3. You may now start the engine.

User- Selectable AutoArming™

If this feature is enabled and you forget to remotely arm, the system automatically arms itself 30 seconds

after

the vehicle doors are closed. For your

convenience, if you re-open any door(s) within the 30-second countdown, AutoArming restarts the 30-second delay from the beginning after all doors are

closed. Bullet 4 has these additional features:

AutoArming entry delay:

If you temporarily lose the use of your remote controls, you may turn on the AutoArming entry delay feature. If this

feature and AutoArming are turned on, it allows you to enter the car (if it previously AutoArmed) and silently disarm the system by turning on the

ignition within 15 seconds of opening the door. See

User-selectable features

(column 3, row 3).

Visual acknowledgment:

Five seconds after you exit, close all the doors and the interior light has turned off, the indicator lights flash twice to

confirm the AutoArming countdown is progressing. Then, 25 seconds later, the system will AutoArm.

Lock upon AutoArming:

To ensure you can’t accidentally lock your keys inside the car, the system is factory-set

not

to lock the doors upon

AutoArming. To change this setting, see

User-selectable features

Instant AutoArming bypass:

Prevents AutoArming when fueling the vehicle and at other times when you wish to temporarily bypass

AutoArming. To activate Instant AutoArming Bypass, rapidly turn the ignition switch to “ON” then “OFF.” You will hear a siren chirp to confirm

that the system will not AutoArm. The system automatically reverts to its normal operating mode when you next start the engine.

Plain View 2 Coded Valet Mode

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 tem po rar ily lose the use of your re mote con trols, you can dis arm the sys tem by ena bling 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.

EX AM PLE: To en ter a code of 1203, you would press:

✱

blank,

✱✱

blank, blank,

✱✱✱

blank.

To en able 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.

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.

To exit valet mode and re store nor mal operation

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.

Re mote Con trolled Valet Mode

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

✱

and

buttons (companion remote). Two parking light flashes

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).

False Alarm Pre ven tion & FACT™

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.

High- Output In sig nia Si ren

This Clifford-engineered siren is more rugged than generic sirens and has these features:

User-selectable chirp volume:

You can control the volume of the arm and disarm chirps. From the factory, your system issues QuietChirps. If

you prefer, you may select the full-volume LoudChirp acknowledgments. See

User-selectable features.

Remote siren silencing:

If triggered by a non-threatening event, you can silence the siren without remotely disarming. Press button 1 (master

remote) or button

(companion) while the siren is sounding. Two chirps confirm that the sensor activated the alarm and the system is

remaining

armed. Four chirps confirm that the system is still armed, but that the ignition is on or the hood, trunk or a door is open and that this

may indeed be a

genuine

theft attempt.

Automatic noise abatement:

Alarm sounding is limited to five siren duration cycles even if a door is left open in the wake of an intrusion.

Long-term chirp silencing:

You may silence the arm and disarm chirps on a long-term basis until you decide to restore them. Your vehicle’s

parking light flashes will continue to provide visual confirmation of remote controlled system arming and disarming. See

User-selectable features.

Selectable siren duration (non-European models only*):

You may change the factory set 30-second siren duration to 60 or 90 seconds via

the programming procedure or via the CliffNet Wizard software. See

User-selectable features.

Personalized Siren Sounds (non-European models only*):

The Medallion siren sounds six different alarm sounds. You may turn any of the

six sounds on or off via the

User-selectable features

programming to create a different combination of sound patterns. So if you hear a siren at a

distance, you will know for sure whether it is your car or someone else’s. See

User-selectable features

(column 1, row 2). What’s more, with the

optional Clif fNet Wiz ard software and Da ta Port Replicator Cable, you may select up to six sounds from more than a dozen different siren sound

choices for truly unique customization.

Choose when your Per son al ized Si ren Sounds* play:

For more information at a distance, you may choose to have your Per son al ized Si ren

Sounds “play” every time the alarm is set off, or you may set them to sound them only upon trigger activation. When set to “trigger only” the
basic siren wail will sound if a

sensor

is activated, but the Personalized Siren Sounds will play if the hood, trunk or a door is opened. See

User-selectable features

(column 1, row 3).

Re motely Ad just able Dual- Zone Piezo Sen sor

The Dual-Zone Piezo Sensor detects theft-related vibrations/ impacts and triggers the alarm. It also has a secondary warning zone that can detect less

serious occurrences — such as someone bumping your car with their car door — and will sound a brief warning tone. If needed, you can adjust sensitivity

of these sensor zones via your remote control as described in the following section. To prevent falsing, system sensors are bypassed when the engine is

remotely started (if you have the IntelliStart 4 option).

Ask your Authorized Clifford Dealer about these optional sensors that will further enhance the security of your vehicle:

Glass Tampering Sensor:

Today’s thieves shatter vehicle windows with a small metal punch device that does not create any vibrations for an

impact sensor to detect. The Glass Tampering Sensor detects the sound of glass breaking, and glass tampering attempts, and will trigger the alarm.

Digital Dual-Zone Proximity Sensor 4:

Detects movement inside the passenger compartment and very near the vehicle. If a thief were to lean

into the passenger compartment, the primary zone of this sensor would trigger the full alarm. However, if a thief was lingering very close to your

windows, a warning tone would sound. Since it can “see” through glass and canvas, this sensor is particularly well suited for use in convertibles and

other open or soft-sided vehicles (targa, T-top and Jeep-like vehicles).

Digital Tilt/Motion Sensor:

Detects less than one degree of lifting or any minute motion of the vehicle while completely ignoring all other

conditions that falsely set off all other sensors. Even if you park on a hill, the Digital Tilt/Motion Sensor will accurately respond to the first hint of

tampering to reliably protect your wheels and entire vehicle.

Re mote con trolled Piezo Sen sor zone ad just ments

If the setting(s) of the sensor zones are either too sensitive or not sensitive enough, you may test and adjust them with the master remote control:
1.

Disarm

the system with the master remote control.

2. On the master remote, press the LevelShift three times, then button 3. You will hear one chirp and the LED will turn on.

3. To test the

primary

(alarm) zone, press button 4 (you will hear a 4-chirp confirmation), then firmly “thump” the top of the A-pillar (the area between

the side windows near the roof) heel of your fist. If the impact is strong enough to trigger the primary zone, you will hear a siren chirp. To change

sensitivity, press button 4 to reduce sensitivity, button 2 to increase sensitivity. Higher and higher pitched confirmation chirps will acknowledge

sensitivity increases, lower and lower tones decreases. You can again test the new setting by thumping the top of the A-pillar. You may now press

button 3

to adjust the warning zone (as noted in 3a. below), or press

to fully exit the sensor adjustment mode (you will hear 3 chirps).

a. For the Piezo Sensor warning zone, press button 3 (you’ll hear 1 chirp). Then use the same procedure as above, but thump less forcefully for the

warning zone. When done, press button 1 to reselect the primary zone (you will hear 2 chirps), then button 1 again to fully exit sensor adjustment

mode (you will hear 3 chirps).

Re mote con trolled over ride of the optional Prox im ity Sen sor

Pressing LevelShift button twice, then button 2 on the master remote control or buttons

on the companion remote or anytime while the

system is armed will override the optional Proximity Sensor. This comes in handy when you must temporarily leave a pet or a passenger in the vehicle.

This sensor override is visually confirmed with 4 flashes of the indicator lights. The sensor is automatically restored the next time you arm.

User- Selectable AutoLock and Aut oUn Lock™

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.

How to in ter pret the LED status in di ca tor

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

LED Con di tion

Mean ing

Off

System is disarmed and in normal operating mode (i.e., valet mode is off)

Valet mode is on, the vehicle may be entered without having to disarm

Flashing rapidly (ignition off)

System is armed and protecting your vehicle

Flashing slowly

System is disarmed but the Two-Point AutoImmobilisation has been engaged (European models only)

Flashes, pause, flashes

Either an error (such as arming with the trunk open) or indicates the trigger or sensor that was tripped

Auto mat ic Battery- Saving Mode

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.

Smart trunk re lease op tion

If the optional remote trunk release was installed, you may use button 2 of the master remote control or the

button of the companion remote to release

the trunk latch. The system’s electronic interlock prevents unintentional activation of the remote trunk release when you drive, or when the system is armed.

The Smart Trunk Release feature requires installer programming, so if you have the optional trunk release installed, you may want to verify that it will NOT

activate when the system is armed. If it can be activated while armed, causing the alarm to sound, please return to your installing Clifford Dealer and have

them correct this (it only takes a couple minutes and there will be no charge to you).

Timer op tions

The system’s built-in electronic timer can be optionally wired to provide one of several different functions. Timer duration settings can be made by your

installing Clifford Dealer or by you via the CliffNet Wizard. Ask your Authorized Clifford Dealer for further details:

Re mote con trolled timed head light activation option

The timer can be wired to provide remote controlled headlight activation for any duration you wish between 1 second and 4 minutes, allowing you to
remotely light your way to and from the vehicle by pressing the LevelShift button once then button 1 on the master remote control or pressing the

button on the companion remote control.

Win dow AutoClose op tion

The timer can automatically close the windows upon remote arming on vehicles with an “all-close” feature that raises them if the key is held in the driver's

door (a common feature on several European vehicle models).

NOTE: Although this timer circuit could be wired to control power windows on non-European cars that do not have
this key-in-the-door “all-close” feature, Clifford Electronics strongly recommends against this. If so wired, the timer
would force the window motors to “shut” the windows even if they were already closed. This places excessive strain
on the vehicle’s window motors, causing overheating, premature failure and even the possibility of fire. As such, if
you cannot close the windows of your vehicle by turning and holding the key in the driver’s door, do not permit the
system’s timer circuit to be wired to automatically close the windows.

If your car does not have an all-close feature, SmartWindows 4 is needed. In addition to automatically closing the power windows every time you arm,

SmartWindows 4 also allows you to remotely roll down the windows after disarming and to remotely vent them open slightly for ventilation on hot days.

Inside the car, SmartWindows 4 also provides one-touch full open, one-touch full close and one-touch stop to each of your factory window control switches.

Win dow AutoClose In stant By pass

If you have the timer-based window closure option noted above, you may choose to arm

without

automatically closing the windows. This is handy on hot

days by allowing you to leave one or more windows slightly open while the system remains armed. To do so, simply turn the ignition switch to “ON” and

then “OFF” rapidly. You will hear a chirp confirmation (this action also activates

Instant AutoArming bypass

previously noted). When you then exit and

arm, the system will

not

close the windows. Normal autoclose operation is restored the next time you arm.

Turbo timer op tion

Vehicles with turbocharged engines often require a cool-down period of one to several minutes after driving, particularly high-rev driving. Until now, drivers

of such vehicles had two choices: sit in the car after parking and wait several minutes to turn off the engine, or have an expensive turbo timer accessory

added that would often interfere with car alarm operation. But with the addition of an optional relay, your system’s timer output can save you money and

make turbo cool-down easy and convenient. If you have this option installed, just press the assigned button or button combination(your Clifford installer will

have told you which he has assigned to this function) on the remote control before shutting off the engine. Then remove your car key (the engine will
continue running), exit, and press button 1 of the master remote or the

button of the companion remote to arm the system and lock the doors. While

the system is armed, your Bullet 4 will continue to idle the engine for any duration you choose up to 4 minutes. To ensure against any possibility of false

alarms, the system will keep the sensors off-line while the engine is idling, then automatically bring them back online right after the engine is shut down.

Smart Au toTest ing™

Each time you remotely arm the system, it tests all triggers and sensors. If the

hood or trunk

is open, the system will

immediately

sound

4 chirps

and

indicator light flashes

instead of the usual 2 and 2. If a

door

is ajar, you’ll receive 2 chirps and 2 flashes, then,

5 seconds later

, there will be

4 chirps

and

flashes

. If a

sensor

is malfunctioning, you will receive the usual 2 chirps and 2 flashes, then,

10 seconds later

, there will be

4 chirps

and

4 flashes

NOTE: Since this is a warn ing in di ca tion, you will hear the 4 chirps even if you use the chirp mut ing fea ture.

Specific malfunction identification:

The system can also indicate the

specific

trigger or sensor that is malfunctioning. 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 flashing, pause, then repeat.

2. Count the number of flashes in one cycle between pauses (for your convenience, the flash cycle repeats a total of 5 times) and refer to the chart below:

LED flashes

Mean ing

1 flash

Activation of an optional sensor

2 flashes

Activation of Piezo Sensor

4 flashes*

Door open/ajar

5 flashes

Trunk open/ajar

6 flashes

Hood open/ajar

7 flashes

Ignition switch was turned on while the system was armed

8 flashes

Three or more incorrect valet codes were entered

9 flashes

BlackJax anti-carjacking countermeasure was triggered

10 flashes

Power tampering or the vehicle battery is very low

* If your ve hi cle has a factory- installed fea ture that turns off or dims the in te rior cour tesy lights sev eral sec onds af ter you exit the ve hi cle, the sys tem can not pro vide this in di ca tion.

Auto matic mal func tion by pass with AutoRe Moni tor ing™

The system automatically bypasses any faulty point and arms all

other

triggers and sensors for the utmost possible protection. If you accidentally arm with

the hood, trunk or a door open, just close it (no need to disarm-and-rearm) and the system will again monitor that point.

Smart prior in tru sion at tempt alert

If you hear three chirps when you disarm, it means that a trigger or sensor was activated in your absence. When you turn on the ignition, the LED will flash 1-10

times, pause, then repeat the flash cycle 4 more times. Count the flashes in one cycle and refer to the chart above.

Multiple- event To tal Re call™

The system’s memory records the identity of the last eight activated or malfunctioning triggers and sensors, which allows your installer to instantly track down

malfunctions. To identify the triggers and sensors held in the system’s memory, use the following procedure:
1. Remotely arm and disarm while pressing the blank button on the PlainView 2 switch.

2. The LED will flash 1-10 times to indicate the most recently activated point, pause, flash 1-10 times to indicate the second most recently activated

point, and so on.

3. Write down the number of flashes between pauses and refer to the chart above.

With the optional CliffNet Wizard, you’ll see this chronological report right on screen.

Head lights left on warn ing*

Your Bullet 4 can be set to issue a warning sound if you shut off the engine and open a door without first turning off the headlights. This feature is factory

set to off since most vehicles already have a similar feature. To have this feature set on, please see your installing Authorized Clifford Dealer.

Smart Powe rUp™ 2

If power is removed, SmartPowerUp 2 ensures the system automatically restores itself to its previous state when power is restored. So if a thief disconnects

the power and then restores it in an attempt to start the car, the system will re-arm and instantly sound the siren while continuing to immobilize the

starter. If your vehicle is to be serviced by a mechanic, just put the system in valet mode. If the mechanic needs to interrupt power, your system will

automatically return to its valet mode state when power is restored; there will be no alarm activation.

change any of the settings, use the steps noted below. To restore the feature to its factory setting, just repeat the procedure.

NOTE: For greater programming ease and even more system control, consider the CliffNet Wizard Windows PC
software interface: www.clifford.com/wizard.

How to change a user- selectable fea ture:

Briefly, here’s how it will work:

•

You will pick a feature from the following Table of User-Selectable Features, noting the feature’s column and row numbers.

•

You’ll enter program mode by entering your valet/disarming PIN code and pressing the

✱

button of the dash- or console-mounted

PlainView 2 switch until you hear a chirp.

•

Press the blank PlainView 2 switch button the same number of times as the column number, then the

✱

button a number of

times equal to the row number.

Step- by- step pro gram ming in struc tions

1. Refer to the

Table of user-selectable features

and make note of the column (across) number and the row (down) number of the feature(s) you wish to

program.

2. Turn the ignition on, or start the engine (skip this step if the engine is running).

3. Enter your valet/disarming PIN code, then press and hold the

✱

button of the PlainView 2 switch for about 4 seconds until you hear a siren chirp.

Select the feature column:

Press and release the blank button of the PlainView 2 switch the same number of times as the column number you wish.

Pause. You will hear the same number of chirps as the column number, audibly confirming your selection.

Select the feature row:

Press and release the

✱

button the same number of times as the row number. You’ll will hear a chirp each time you press to help

you count.

NOTE: You have 5 sec onds to en ter the row number af ter se lect ing the col umn number. If you wait too long, the sys tem
jumps back to the “Fea ture Se lect” po si tion (this is in di cated with 3 chirps). If you wait an other 60 sec onds, the sys tem
will exit pro gram mode.

Pause

. You will hear either one or two chirps:

Two chirps = ON, one chirp = OFF

(If there is a

NOTE

for the selected feature, perform the actions

noted).

NOTE: Some fea tures, such as AutoStart (col umn 2, row 4) used with the optional IntelliStart 4 accessory, have
mul ti ple set tings. Sim ply re se lect the fea ture ad di tional times to prog ress through each pos si ble set ting.

7. You may now select another feature or exit program mode:

a. To select another feature in that same column, repeat step 5 within the next 5 seconds (after 5 seconds, 3 chirps mean you are back to the

“Feature

Select”

position).

b. To select a different feature column, go to step 4.

c. To exit program mode, turn the ignition off (you’ll hear 3 chirps and the LED will turn off). If driving, just wait 60 seconds and the system will

automatically exit program mode.

If you make an er ror, just turn off the ig ni tion and start again.

EX AM PLE: Turn on Lock upon AutoArming and turn off Re mote Valet Mode and FACT:

In the following example, we will change the settings of three different features in just one programming session: We will turn on the Lock upon

AutoArming feature to set your vehicle’s power locks to automatically engage whenever the system AutoArms, turn off remote controlled valet mode and

turn off the FACT anti-falsing feature:

Enter program mode

as previously noted (ignition on, enter your valet code, press and hold the

✱

button on the PlainView 2 switch until you hear

a chirp).

2. Since the

Lock upon AutoArming

feature is in column 3, row 2 of the Table, go to column 3 by pressing the blank button on the PlainView 2 switch

three times. Wait for the 3-chirp/column 3 confirmation. Then press the

✱

button twice (you’ll hear a chirp each time you press the

✱

button).

After a brief pause, you’ll hear 2 chirps to confirm that

Lock upon AutoArming

is now on.

3. Since

FACT

is also in column 3, there is no need to reselect column 3. Therefore, you can go straight to the row selection. Select row 4 by pressing

the

✱

button four times. After a brief pause, you’ll hear one chirp to confirm that

FACT

is now off.

4. You’ll note that the

Remote valet mode

feature is at column 2, row 3. To change to column 2, press the blank button twice, then wait for the

2-chirp/column 2 confirmation. Press the

✱

button three times to select row 3. After a brief pause, you’ll hear one chirp to confirm that the

Remote

valet mode

feature is now turned off.

5. To exit the program mode, turn the

ignition off

. You’ll hear 3 chirps to confirm program mode exit.

Re set All Fea tures

If you wish to reset all the user-selectable features to their normal factory presets, you can do so simply by choosing the

Reset all features

selection (column

1, row 7) on the

Table of User-Selectable Features

. If you do so, all features — except the programmed remote controls and your valet code — will be reset

to the factory settings that are indicated in

BOLD

type on the

Table of User-Selectable Features

. To reset all remote controls, use the

Clear all remotes
