warning! safety first
The following safety warnings must be observed at all times:
zDue to the complexity of this system, installation of this product must only be per-
formed by an authorized Clifford dealer.
zWhen properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via a command signal
from the remote control transmitter. Therefore, never operate the system in an
area that does not have adequate ventilation. The following precautions are the
sole responsibility of the user; however, authorized Clifford dealers should make
the following recommendations to all users of this system:
1. Never operate the system in an enclosed or partially enclosed area without
ventilation (such as a garage).
2. When parking in an enclosed or partially enclosed area or when having
the vehicle serviced, the remote start system must be disabled using the
installed toggle switch.
3. It is the user's sole responsibility to properly handle and keep out of reach
from children all remote control transmitters to assure that the system does
not unintentionally remote start the vehicle.
4. THE USER MUST INSTALL A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR IN OR
ABOUT THE LIVING AREA ADJACENT TO THE VEHICLE. ALL DOORS
LEADING FROM ADJACENT LIVING AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR
PARTIALLY ENCLOSED VEHICLE STORAGE AREA MUST AT ALL TIMES
REMAIN CLOSED.
zUse of this product in a manner contrary to its intended mode of operation may
result in property damage, personal injury, or death. Except when performing
the Safety Check outlined in this installation guide, (1) Never remotely start the
vehicle with the vehicle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle with the
keys in the ignition. The user will be responsible for having the neutral safety fea-
ture of the vehicle periodically checked, wherein the vehicle must not remotely
start while the car is in gear. This testing should be performed by an authorized
Clifford dealer in accordance with the Safety Check outlined in this product
installation guide. If the vehicle starts in gear, cease remote start operation imme-
diately and consult with the user to fix the problem immediately.
zAfter the remote start module has been installed, test the remote start module in
accordance with the Safety Check outlined in this installation guide. If the vehi-
cle starts when performing the Neutral Safety Shutdown Circuit test, the remote
start unit has not been properly installed. The remote start module must be
removed or properly reinstalled so that the vehicle does not start in gear. All
installations must be performed by an authorized Clifford dealer.

OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE STARTS IN
GEAR IS CONTRARY TO ITS INTENDED MODE OF OPERATION. OPERATING
THE REMOTE START SYSTEM UNDER THESE CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN
PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY. IMMEDIATELY CEASE THE USE
OF THE UNIT AND REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE INSTALLED REMOTE START
MODULE. CLIFFORD WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE OR PAY FOR INSTAL-
LATION OR REINSTALLATION COSTS.
before beginning the installation
zPlease read this entire installation guide before beginning the installation. The
installation of this remote start system requires interfacing with many of the vehi-
cle’s systems. Many new vehicles use low-voltage or multiplexed systems that can
be damaged by low resistance testing devices, such as test lights and logic
probes (computer safe test lights). Test all circuits with a high quality digital multi-
meter before making connections.
zDo not disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft-coded radio. If
equipped with an air bag, avoid disconnecting the battery if possible. Many
airbag systems will display a diagnostic code through their warning lights after
they lose power. Disconnecting the battery requires this code to be erased, which
can require a trip to the dealer.
zRemove the domelight fuse. This prevents accidentally draining the battery.
zRoll down a window to avoid being locked out of the car.
after the installation
zTest all functions. Refer to the "Using Your System" section of the Owner's Guide
when testing.
zComplete the vehicle Safety Check outlined in this manual prior to reassembly.

primary harness wiring guide
This guide describes in detail the connection of each wire. Also included are possible appli-
cations of each wire. This system was designed with the ultimate in flexibility and security
in mind. Many of the wires have more than one possible function. Please read the instruc-
tions carefully to ensure a thorough understanding of this unit and how it operates.
h1/1 black ground
Connect the BLACK wire to a clean, paint-free sheet metal location (driver’s kick panel)
using a factory bolt that does NOT have any vehicle component grounds attached to
it. A screw should only be used in conjunction with a two-sided lock washer. Under
dash brackets and door sheet metal are not acceptable ground points. It is recom-
mended that all security components be grounded at the same location.
h1/2 and h1/11 brown speaker outputs
Connect the BROWN output wires to the BROWN wires of an optional 518C Neo Siren.
h1/3 gray (-) hood input zone 6
Connect this wire to the hood pin. If the hood is open when the alarm is armed, this
wire will trigger the siren. Use either this wire (preferred) or the wire from the
Intellistart module, but not both.

www.directed.com
6
h1/5 green/white (-) normally closed zone 6
This wire will trigger the alarm if it looses its normally closed ground. Remove this wire
from the ground wire and attach it to a normally grounded item you wish to protect
such as the back of your stereo.
h1/6 white/blue (-) accessory b output (200mA)
This wire produces a 200mA output when activated by the remote control and can be
used to operate a variety of accessories. All accessory outputs can be programmed to
different types of outputs. Please see Note #6 in the programming notes section of this
guide..
h1/7 blue (-) trunk trigger input - zone 5
This input will respond to a negative input with an instant trigger. Connect to (-) trunk
pins and it will report zone 5. It can also be used with Directed single-stage sensors.
h1/8 violet (+) door trigger input - zone 4
Connect the violet wire to a wire that shows (+)12V when any door is opened. This
wire will report Zone 4.
h1/9 green (-) door trigger input - zone 4
Most vehicles use negative door trigger circuits. Connect the GREEN wire to a wire
showing ground when any door is opened. When connecting to newer model vehicles
there is generally a need to use individual door triggers. This wire will report Zone 4.
NNOOTTEE::If using a door trigger wire that has a delay, the installer-selectable program-
ming grid or the Cliffnet Wizard can be used to turn the door ajar warning off.
h1/10 red (+) 12v constant
Before connecting the RED wire, remove the supplied fuse. Connect to the battery pos-
itive terminal (be sure to use the supplied fuse holder and a 5 amp fuse) or the con-
stant (+) 12V supply to the vehicle fusebox.

h1/12 white/red light flash input
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!Always confirm light flash polarity before connecting Hf1/H12 or dam-
age to the vehicle lighting system could occur.
This wire is the input for the on-board dual light flash relay. If the vehicle has positive
parking light activation wires, connect this wire to a constant (+) 12V source that is
fused at 15A or higher (be sure to use the supplied fuse holder and a 15 amp fuse).
If the vehicle parking light activation wire is negative, connect this wire to a chassis
ground location.
h1/13 and h1/14 white parking light output
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!The polarity of this wire is determined by the connection of the H1/12
light flash input wire.
These wires are the output of an on-board dual make relay and the polarity is deter-
mined by the connection of the H1/12 light flash input wire. Connect these to the
wires in the vehicle that control the parking lights. The dual outputs are designed for
European vehicles with isolated parking light systems. If the vehicle’s parking lights are
controlled by a single wire, connect both WHITE wires to it.
h1/15 black/white dome light supervision output
Connect the H1/15 BLACK/WHITE wire to the vehicle domelight circuit trigger wire.
h1/16 red/white accessory a output
When the system receives the code controlling the accessory output, this wire will sup-
ply an output as long as the transmission continues. This is often used to operate a
trunk/hatch release or other relay-driven function. All accessory outputs can be pro-
grammed to different types of outputs. Please see Note #6 in the programming notes
section of this guide.
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input!
The transistorized output can only supply 200 mA of current. Connecting directly to a
solenoid, motor, or other high-current device will cause it to fail.

h1/17 orange ground when armed
This wire provides a (-) ground output as long as the system is armed and will cease
when the system is disarmed. This output can be used for an additional immobilizer
relay or to control additional accessories such as window automation, voice modules,
or pagers.

used to operate a variety of accessories. All accessory outputs can be programmed to
different types of outputs. Please see Note #6 in the programming notes section of this
guide.
h2/9 yellow/white (-) horn honk output (200mA)
This wire is a low current output (200mA) for the horn to sound when the system has
been violated.
h2/10 brown/red brake light (+) 12V input
This is the polarity source for the brake light output and must be 12 volt constant.
h2/11 brown/white brake light input/output
This wire powers the brake light circuit with the 12 volt circuit only on H2/10 when
activated. If this wire is used it is not necessary to connect the blue/white H1/11
brake input wire to the Intellistart module.
h2/12 blue/white second unlock output (200mA)
This wire produces a (-) 200mA output for progressive locks in which the driver door
unlocks first and the remaining locks unlock with a second press of the unlock button.

ultrasecure immobilizer
The UltraSecure immobilizer circuit in this G5 system is a unique new design that
incorporates the immobilizer security of Clifford without the possibility of failure due
to power loss that could potentially strand the user.
The level of security can be set by leaving in or removing the jumper located next to
the immobilizer wires exiting the module.
immobilizer jumper setting
jumper in setting
When the jumper is in, the ignition and starter signal will bypass the UltraSecure
immobilizer circuitry and allow the vehicle start and run, even if power has not been
restored to the module.
jumper out setting
When the jumper is out, the UltraSecure immobilizer circuitry prevents the ignition
and starter signal from passing and keeps the vehicle immobilized until power has
been restored to the module.
NNOOTTEE::In order for the system to bypass the immobilizer with the jumper in place, the
unit must have ground on the 18-pin harness.

intellistart installation
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!Do not use any testing tool other than a digital multi-meter to prevent
costly damage to the vehicle. Use of a test light may cause grounding of sensitive elec-
trical components that can damage the on-board vehicle computer and processors
resulting in substantial cost for replacement.
The control module and the Intellistart module communicate through the CliffNet inter-
face cable, when plugged into their respective ports on each module. Ensure that both
modules are mounted in the vehicle so that this cable can reach both modules.
When you have determined where each component will be located, your next step is
to find the connecting wires in the vehicle for the security system.
obtaining constant 12V
Remove the two 30 amp fuses prior to connecting to the 12V wires and do not replace
them until the intellistart installation is complete. These wires are the source of current
for all the circuits the IntelliStart will energize. They must be connected to a high cur-
rent source. These can be connected to the battery or the 12V power feed to the igni-
tion key switch (the battery is preferred).
finding the 12V switched ignition wire
The ignition wire is powered when the key is in the run or start position. This is
because the ignition wire powers the ignition system (spark plugs, coil) as well as the
fuel delivery system (fuel pump, fuel injection computer). Accessory wires lose power
when the key is in the start position to make more current available to the starter motor.
warning! Make sure the car is not in gear.
warning! On vehicles with air bags or supplemental
restraint systems (SRS) you may notice a bright yellow
tube with small wires in it marked SRS underneath the
steering column near the key cylinder. DO NOT tamp-
er or unplug these for any reason to prevent costly dam-
ages to your vehicle or personal injury. Tampering may
cause unintended deployment of airbags.

How to find (+)12V ignition with your multimeter:
1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).
2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.
3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the ignition wire. The steering column har-
ness or ignition switch harness is an excellent place to find this wire.
4. Turn the ignition key switch to the run position. If your meter reads (+)12V, go to
the next step. If it doesn’t, probe another wire.
5. Now turn the key to the start position. The meter display should stay steady, not
dropping by more than a few tenths of a volt. If it drops close to or all the way to
zero, go back to Step 3. If it stays steady at (+)12V, you have found an ignition wire.
finding the starter wire
The starter wire provides 12V directly to the starter or to a relay controlling starter. In
some vehicles, it is necessary to power a cold start circuit. A cold start circuit will test
exactly like a starter circuit, but it does not control the starter. Instead, the cold start
circuit is used to prime the fuel injection system for starting when the vehicle is cold.
How to find the starter wire with your multimeter:
1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).
2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.
3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the starter wire. The steering column is an
excellent place to find this wire. Remember you do not need to interrupt the
starter at the same point you test it. Hiding your optional starter kill relay and
connections is always recommended.
4. Turn the ignition key switch to the start position. Make sure the car is not in gear!
If your meter reads (+)12V, go to the next step. If it doesn’t, probe another wire.
5. Cut the wire you suspect of being the starter wire.
6. Attempt to start the car. If the starter engages, reconnect it and go back to Step
3. If the starter does not turn over, you have the right wire.

finding a (+) brake light wire
Most vehicles use a (+) brake light circuit. The (+) brake light wire is often found near
the brake pedal.
How to find a (+) brake light flash wire with your multimeter:
1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).
2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.
3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the brake light wire.
4. Press the brake pedal. If your meter shows (+)12V, release the pedal and make
sure it goes back to zero.
5. If it does return to zero, this is the correct brake wire.
finding the accessory/heater wire
An accessory/heater wire will show +12V when the key is in the accessory and run
positions. It will not show +12V during the cranking cycle. There will often be more
than one accessory wire in the ignition harness. The correct accessory wire will power
the vehicle's climate control system. Some vehicles may have separate wires for the
blower motor and the air conditioning compressor. In such cases, it will be necessary
to add a relay to power the second accessory wire.
finding the rpm input wire
To test for a tachometer wire, a multimeter capable of testing AC voltage must be used.
The tachometer wire will show between 1V and 6V AC. In multi-coil ignition systems,
the system can learn individual coil wires. Individual coil wires in a multi-coil ignition
system will register lower amounts of AC voltage. Also, if necessary, the system can
use a fuel injector control wire for engine speed sensing. Common locations for a
tachometer wire are the ignition coil itself, the back of the gauges, engine computers,
and automatic transmission computers.

IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!Do not use any testing tool other than a digital multi-meter to prevent
costly damage to the vehicle. Use of a test light may cause grounding of sensitive elec-
trical components that can damage the on-board vehicle computer and processors
resulting in substantial cost for replacement.
How to find a tachometer wire with your multimeter:
1. Set to ACV or AC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).
2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.
3. Start and run the vehicle.
4. Probe the wire you suspect of being the tachometer wire with the red probe of
the meter.
5. If this is the correct wire the meter will read between 1V and 6V and fluctuate
with the RPM of the motor.
finding the wait-to-start bulb wire for diesels
In diesel vehicles it is necessary to interface with the wire that turns on the WAIT TO
START light in the dashboard. This wire illuminates the bulb until the vehicle’s glow
plugs are properly heated. When the light goes out the vehicle can be started. This
wire is usually available at the connector leading to the bulb in the dashboard. It can
also be found at the Engine Control Module (ECM) in many vehicles.
To test and determine the polarity of this wire:
1. Set your multimeter to DCV or DC voltage (12 or 20V is fine).
2. Attach the (+) probe of the meter to (+)12V.
3. Probe the wire that you suspect leads to the bulb with the (-) probe of the meter.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
5. If the meter indicates 12 volts until the light goes out you have isolated the cor-
rect wire and the wire's polarity is negative (ground while the bulb is on).
6. If the meter reads zero volts until the light goes out and then reads 12 volts, you
have isolated the correct wire and the wire's polarity is positive.
warning! On vehicles with air bags or supplemental
restraint systems (SRS) you may notice a bright yellow
tube with small wires in it marked SRS underneath the
steering column near the key cylinder. DO NOT tamp-
er or unplug these for any reason to prevent costly dam-
ages to your vehicle or personal injury. Tampering may
cause unintended deployment of airbags, resulting in
injury.

h3/3 white/black hood input
This wire will shut down the remote start if the hood is opened during a remote start
sequence. Connect this to the hood pin switch wire that shows ground when the hood
is opened. Use this wire or, preferably, the H1/3 wire from the control module. Do not
use both wires (H1/3 and H3/3).
h3/4 white/violet factory alarm disarm
This wire will produce a 200mA output prior to a remote start sequence. Connect this
wire to the factory alarm disarm wire in the vehicle.
h3/5 red battery Positive (5-amp fuse) 12V (+) input
Connect this wire to a constant (+) 12V source.
h3/6 blue/orange third ignition trigger (status out)
This wire will trigger an additional relay for a third ignition output or for an immobi-
lizer bypass module. When needed, connect this wire to an optional relay.
h3/7 black ground
Connect the BLACK wire to a clean, paint-free sheet metal location (driver’s kick panel)
using a factory bolt that does NOT have any vehicle component grounds attached to
it. A screw should only be used in conjunction with a two-sided lock washer. Under
dash brackets and door sheet metal are not acceptable ground points. It is recom-
mended that all security components be grounded at the same location.
h3/8 blue/black (-) and h3/9 (+) blue/yellow diesel wait to start
There are two methods for interfacing the remote engine starting on diesel engines.
You can either interface via the “Wait-to-Start” light which will trigger the starter when
the light turns off, or you can use the built-in 20 second timer which cranks the engine
20 seconds after the remote start command is received.
Using the 20 second delay: Using the Installer-Programming for the system, change
the engine setting to “Diesel Engine,” or use the CliffNet Wizard Pro installation soft-
ware to program the system. The CliffNet Wizard Pro will also allow you to customize
the delay to an interval other than 20 seconds.
h3/10 blue/green (+) shut down
1. When the intellistart is programmed to Automatic transmission mode (H3/1
black/green is grounded), then connect the H3/10 blue/green wire to the vehi-
cles back up light wire. This wire should show +12V when the shifter is in
