Standard Features of the ACE 500 (cont.) ✔ QuietChirp™— You may choose to lower the volume of the arm and disarm chirps to a level that is clearly audible but less obtrusive that the full-volume chirps. ✔ Remote Door Locking and Unlocking — No more fumbling with keys in the dark or bad weather! A press of a button on the remote simultaneously arms your system and locks your vehicle’s power locks. Another press disarms and unlocks.
Standard Features of the ACE 500 (cont.) ✔ Enhanced User-Selectable AutoArming™— Automatically arms itself “passively” if you forget. May qualify you for an insurance discount that could pay for the system (consult your insurance company). AutoArming Enable/Disable — You may disable or re-enable AutoArming with just a few flicks of a switch. — You may set the system to automatically lock the doors every time the system AutoArms.
Standard Features of the ACE 500 (cont.) ✔ Patented Smart Prior Intrusion Attempt Alert — When you return to your vehicle and remotely disarm your ACE 500, a special chirp and parking light flash sequence will audibly and visually alert you from a distance if an intrusion attempt was foiled while you were away. Your ACE 500 will even identify the specific trigger or sensor that detected the intrusion attempt.
Your 4-button/12-channel remote controls The 4-button/12-channel remote controls are ultra-sophisticated miniature radio transmitters powered by a tiny 12-volt battery. Range is up to 100 feet. A weak remote control battery will reduce range. Electrical interference and even sunspots can interrupt the signal from your remote control to the system. If this happens, repeatedly press the remote control button (this works better than holding the button down).
What each button/channel does Your ACE 500 remote controls come pre-programmed so that certain channels command certain functions. If you wish, you can actually assign any channel to any function (see pages 15-16). The following chart indicates what each remote control channel number does, and how to transmit each channel number.
TO ACTIVATE THE PANIC FEATURE . . . . . . . . . . Press button 1 (channel 1) for 3 seconds. The parking lights will flash repeatedly and the siren will blare for 30 or 60 seconds (user-selectable), or until you press button 1 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. If the ignition is off, the doors will unlock, allowing you to enter immediately without fumbling with your keys.
Anti-CodeGrabbing™ (ACG) with Random Code Encryption A Clifford exclusive that protects you and your automobile from the most effective and onerous car stealing device ever used by car thieves — a code-grabber. Code-grabbers are far more effective and efficient than scanning.
Valet mode Whenever the system is put in valet mode, all of the system’s security features are switched off. At various times, you will need to turn the system off. For instance, when having your car serviced, washed or parked by a valet. NOTE: If you temporarily lose the use of your remote controls, you can disarm the system by enabling valet mode. To enable valet mode 1. Turn the ignition switch to its “ON” position or start the engine. 2. Flip the valet switch.
AutoLock/AutoUnLock™ For your safety and that of your passengers, the vehicle doors will automatically lock the instant you turn on the ignition to start the engine (see User-selectable features on pages 15-16). When you turn the ignition off to shut down the engine, the AutoUnLock feature automatically unlocks the doors.
Automatic malfunction bypass To provide protection even if a component malfunctions, the system automatically bypasses any faulty point and arms all other triggers and sensors to provide the utmost possible protection until you can have the system serviced by your local Authorized Clifford Dealer. TotalRecall™ The system’s memory records the identity of the last activated or malfunctioning trigger or sensor, which allows your installer to instantly track down a malfunction.
Headlight Reminder If you turn the ignition off and open the driver’s door to exit the car without having turned off the headlights, you will be reminded to turn them off with a distinctive rapid, multi-chirp warning. If your vehicle already has a similar warning feature, you may turn off the ACE 500 Headlight Reminder feature. See User-selectable features on pages 15-16. High-output Six-Sound Siren Six different alarm sound patterns to draw even more attention.
User-selectable features Your ACE 500 vehicle security system allows you to set many of its features to your own personal preferences. We have made the programming procedures very simple: to make a change, you just flick the valet switch a few times. The system comes from the factory with all of its features pre-programmed as noted in the table below and on the next page. To change any of the settings, use the following procedure. To restore the feature to its factory setting, just repeat the procedure: 1.
Feature # of Factory momentary setting presses Secondary action Program completion confirmation Result Add a new remote to channel 2 (remote accessory) — 14 Press remote control button 2 2 chirps Button 2/channel 2 code of the new remote control has been memorized Add a new remote to channel 3 (silent arm/disarm) — 15 Press remote control button 3 3 chirps Button 3/channel 3 code of the new remote control has been memorized Add a new remote to channel 4 (optional remote accessory) — 16 P
Example : To change the AutoArming feature from its factory setting of “on” to “off,” you would do the following: • Turn the ignition key to the ON position. • Flick the valet switch back and forth 4 times (you’ll hear a chirp each time to help you count to the total of 4 chirps). • Wait 3 seconds. The system will sound one more chirp to confirm that the AutoArming setting is now off (1 chirp = off, 2 chirps = on). • Turn the ignition off.
