Your re mote con trols
The 4-button remote controls of your Concept 300 are ultra-sophisticated miniature
radio transmitters each powered by a tiny 3-volt lithium battery. 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 Automatic remote control low battery warning on page
8 for details). Electrical/radio frequency interference, buildings and other obstructions,
weather conditions and even sunspots can interrupt the signal from your remote to the
system. If this happens, repeatedly press the remote control button several times until
the system responds (this works better than holding the button down). The remote
controls are the keys to your system. But these remotes are much more secure than car
keys because each incorporates Clifford’s ACG 2™ (Anti-CodeGrabbing 2™) technology
with trillions of digital codes for the ultimate protection. You will use your Concept 300
remote control to arm and disarm the system, lock and unlock the doors,
activate/deactivate the panic feature, enable/exit valet mode and command options such
as a remote boot release, timed headlight activation, automatic closure of the power
windows, electric garage door interface and even remote starting of the engine and
heater or air conditioner, among other options.
TIP: If you press the top of the remote to your chin, you can increase the range
since your body acts as a large radio antenna (this is the same principle as a
station coming in more clearly when you touch the TV or radio antenna).
How to use your re mote con trols
Each of your two remote controls can command several different functions and options.
TO ARM, PRESS: You will hear two chirps and the indicator lights will flash twice.
The dashboard LED will flash repeatedly and your vehicle’s power
locks will automatically lock.
TO DIS ARM,
AGAIN PRESS:
One chirp and one indicator light flash confirms disarming. In
addition, the power locks will automatically unlock, the LED will
turn off and the interior lights will turn on and stay on for 30
seconds or until you start the engine, whichever occurs first.
TO AC TI VATE
THE PANIC
FEA TURE, PRESS
AND HOLD:
Hold the button 3 seconds. The indicator lights will flash
repeatedly and the siren will blare until you press the button
again to turn it off. If the ignition is on (indicating you are in the
car), the doors will automatically lock to prevent an assailant from
entering (note: some vehicles are unable to lock the doors whilst
the ignition is on). If the ignition is off, the doors will unlock,
allowing you to enter immediately without fumbling with your keys.
TO RE MOTELY OPEN
THE BOOT, PRESS:
If you have the remote boot release option, pressing the
button whilst the system is disarmed will release the boot latch (see
Smart boot release option on page 9 for more information). If you do
not have the boot release option, you may assign this button to
activate one of the other functions noted in column 4 of the Ta ble
of User- Selectable Fea tures on page 19, or it can be programmed
into a Clifford ACG 2 electric garage door/entry gate opener
interface or a Concept 100, 300, 400 or 600 on your other car.
