serviced by an authorized Directed dealer; the unit will be professionally reinstalled in the vehi-
cle in which it was originally installed by an authorized Directed dealer; and the unit is returned

ner contrary to its intended purpose; the unit has been damaged by accident, unreasonable
use, neglect, improper service, installation or other causes not arising out of defects in materi-
als or construction. The warranty does not cover damage to the unit caused by installation or

nection to your vehicle’s glowplug indicator (may require optional parts

and wiring).

remote start/shutdown procedure

Press button

on the remote control (if your G4/G5 system is so

equipped) or button 4 on the remote:

Two parking light flashes confirm startup initiation.

The engine and preset accessories (air conditioner, heater,
etc.) will start and run.

While idling, the parking lights stay on* for ongoing visual
confirmation.

When idling under the control of your IntelliStart 4, you may shut down

the engine by pressing the

button again.

1. Disarm, enter, but don’t touch the brake or transmission.

2. Insert your key and turn the ignition switch all the way on.

3. Press the brake. Your vehicle will now operate normally.

* Except on some UK systems.

shortstop

When you stop for a brief errand, rather than shut down and then

restart the engine moments later, you may remove your car keys and

remotely arm without shutting down the engine:

Park, place the transmission in park or neutral and engage
the hand brake.

Without touching the brake, press the remote start/shut-
down button

on your remote control.

Turn the ignition off and remove your keys. The engine will
continue to idle.

Exit and arm with the remote control. The engine will con-
tinue to idle under the control of your system for up to 30
minutes (can be adjusted to 5-60 minutes by your
Authorized Directed Dealer).

When you return, use the

To Drive After Remote Starting

procedure described previously.

low temp/low battery autostart

Your system can be set to automatically start the engine if:

The temperature drops below a certain level and/or

The vehicle battery voltage drops below a certain level

If the LowTemp AutoStart feature has been programmed on and

remotely activated as noted in the alarm system’s owner’s manual, the

system will automatically start and idle the engine when the interior

temperature drops to -15°C or lower. If the LowBattery AutoStart fea-

ture has been programmed on and remotely activated as noted in the

alarm system’s owner’s manual, the system will automatically start and

idle the engine if the voltage drops below 12.2 volts to recharge the

battery.

See your Clifford G4/G5 system’s Owner’s Manual (downloadable from

www.clifford.com/guides for details on programming and remote acti-

vating feature.

manual transmission safestart

OTTEE:: This section is only for vehicles with a manual transmission.

For safety reasons, the transmission must be left in neutral if the engine

will be remotely started. To assure safe remote starting, you must per-

form these steps before exiting:

Park and, while the engine is running, place the transmission
in neutral and set the hand brake.

Without touching the brake, transmit channel 11 (LevelShift
button twice, then button 3) on the Radar 2 remote or the
button combination on the other remote assigned by your
Authorized Directed Dealer. Two parking light flashes will
confirm this action.

Turn the ignition off and remove your keys. The engine will
continue to idle.

Exit and arm. The engine will shut down. This prepares the
system to later accept your remote starting command.

OTTEE:: For safety reasons, the system ignores the remote start command if the

alarm sounded while you were away. In addition, you may only remotely start
while the system is armed.

extended accessory power

The system will continue to power your car stereo, power windows and

other accessories even after you shut off the engine (may require

optional parts/wiring). So if you turn off the key and realize you forgot

to roll up a window, you don’t need to turn the ignition back on.

Extended Accessory Power lasts 10 minutes or until a door is opened.

cliffnet wizard software

With the free CliffNet Wizard software and an optional CliffNet

Replicator (p/n 905265), you can plug your Windows PC into your

Clifford system to gain extensive feature control: you can set the

AutoStart temperature and voltage thresholds, and change the

AutoShutDown time from its default 30 minutes to any interval

between 5 and 60 minutes. See www.clifford.com/g5/wizard for

details.

health check

Directed Electronics recommends you return to your installing Clifford

dealer to have your system checked for correct operation. The first

check is due one year after the installation date and at yearly intervals

thereafter.
