Maintenance
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.
Welcome to the world of
high-technology vehicle security and convenience
Congratulations on the purchase of your Clifford Electronics mobile security/conveniencesystem. 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.
Your remote controls
The two 4-button remote controls are sophisticated miniature radio transmitters each powered by a 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 itsuseful life, see the Low battery warning section for details).
Electrical/radio frequency interference, obstructions, weather conditions and even sunspots can interrupt the signal from yourremote 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
Concept 100 remote control to arm and disarm the system, lock and unlock the doors, activate/deacti vate the panic feature, enable/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.
Remotely controlling your Clifford system
TO ARM:Press button .Upon arming: two siren chirps, two parking light flashes, dashboard LED flashes repeatedly and doors lock.
TO DISARM:Press button .Upon disarming: one chirp, one parking light flash, LED turns off, doors unlock and the interior lights turn on.
TO ARM OR
DISARM SILENTLY:Simultaneously press both the button and the✱button to arm or disarm without chirp acknowledgments.
TO PANIC: For three seconds, continually press button . The parking lightswill flash repeatedly and the siren will blare for 30 seconds
(American model) or until you press the button again (European model). 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 unableto lock the doors while the
ignition is on). If the ignition is off, the doors will unlock,allowing you to enter immediately without fumbling with your keys.
TO REMOTELY
OPEN THE TRUNK:If you have this option, press button while the system is in its disarmed state.
TO REMOTELY TURN
ON HEADLIGHTS:If you have this option, press button to turn on the headlights for 10-seconds.
TO REMOTELY
START THE ENGINE:If you have this option, press button ✱to remotely start the engine (orshut it down if idling under the control of IntelliStart 4).
Before remote starting, be sure to see theRemote Engine Starting DOs and DON’Ts noted in the IntelliStart 4 user’s manual.
TO TURN VALET
MODE ON OR OFF: Simultaneously press buttons and✱to enable/exit valet mode.
TO REMOTELY OPEN
OR VENT WINDOWS:If you have this option, press buttons and after disarming to fully open the windows controlled by SmartWindows 4.
On hot days, press this button combination right after arming to vent the windows slightly while the system remains armed.
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 Concept 100 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 willneveraccept 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 Concept 100 system.
Automatic remote control low-battery warning
If your remote control battery is low, you’ll hear a rapid 5-chirp sequence when you disarm insteadof the usual one chirp (with the Self-Powered SmartSiren 4
option, you’ll hear a low-pitched chirp). Replacement batteries are available from any Authorized Clifford Dealer.

Remote control battery replacement
Replacement of a remote control battery is simple, but any Authorized Clifford Dealer will be happyto do it for you without cost provided that you buy
the replacement battery at their shop (it’s a good idea to keep a spare battery in your glove box j ust in case).
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 bac k together at the bottom.
Adding new remote controls
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 listedon the front cover) and program them into the
system yourself. Concept 100 will respond to as many as four remote controls.
NOTE: Clifford G4 systems will respond only to G4-type ACG 2 remote controls. Older Clifford ACG and non-ACG
remote controls are not compatible with G4 systems.
To add a new remote control to the system, use theAdd new remote feature (column 1, row 1) of the User-selectable features section.
False Alarm Prevention & FACT™
With FACT (False Alarm Control and Test), you’ll never experience repeated falsealarms. 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.
Two-Point AutoImmobilization
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 regardlessof 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 AutoImmobilization occurs, use the remote
control to arm and then disarm or use the engine restart feature below.
Optional Wireless Immobilizer™
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 record your Clifford installer provides as to the location of the Wireless Immobilizer in case your
vehicle needs future servicing.
NOTE: If your vehicle’s engine ever stalls, the Wireless Immobilizer WILL engage. You must turn theignition all the
way to “OFF” in order to restart.
Engine Restart Feature: Europe only
In compliance with EC requirements, the AutoImmobilization will automatically engage thirty secondsaftershutting 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 .
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 afterthe 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. Concept 100 has these additional features:
nAutoArming entry delay: If you temporarily lose the use of your remote controls, you may turn on the AutoArming entry delayfeature. If this
feature and AutoArming are turned on, it allows you toenter 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).
nVisual 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 AutoArmingcountdown is progressing. Then, 25 seconds later, the system will AutoArm.
nLock 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.
nInstant 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 “O FF.” 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.

PlainView 2 Coded Valet Mode
All car alarms have a valet mode that essentially turns off the security features. This mode is also used to turn off the alarm if the system is not responding
to the remote control. However, thieves can disable other alarm brands by simply hotwiring the ignition and flicking the alarm’s easy-to-find “hidden”valet
switch.
In contrast, your Concept 100 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 code 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. At various times, you will need to switch the system off. For instance, when refueling
or washing your car.
The system’s factory-set valet code is 2: ✱✱ blank.
NOTE:Ifyoutemporarily lose the use of your remote controls, you can disarm the system byenablingvaletmode.
Entering a code
To enter your 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.
EXAMPLE: To enter a code of 1203, you would press: ✱blank, ✱✱ blank, blank, ✱✱✱blank.
To enable 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 code on the PlainView 2 switch.
3.Continuepressing 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 restore normal operation
1.Turn the ignition switch to its “ON” position or start the engine if it is not already running.
2.Enter your valet code on the PlainView 2 switch. The LED will turn off.
How to set your own secret valet code
You may choose any 1-4-digit code, but the first digit must not be a zero (e.g., 1023 is a valid co de, 0123 is not). See User-selectable features.
Example
Let’s say you want to set a valet code of 4301:
1.From the Table of user-selectable features, you would note that the Set a new secret valet 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,immediatelypress the blank button, then immediatelyenter your new code.
Example: To enter 4301 as your new code, you would press the switch buttons in this manner: ✱✱✱✱blank, ✱✱✱
blank, blank, ✱blank.
5.Waitfor the 2-chirp confirmation.
6. Turn off the ignition to exit program mode (you’ll hear a 3-chirp confirmation).
7.VERY IMPORTANT: You must immediately test your new secret valet 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 youjust 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.
Remote Controlled 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, simultaneously
press the ✱and buttons. Two parking light flashes confirm valet mode on, one flash confirms valet mode off. The d ashboard LED will glow continuously
when valet mode is on. Your system remains in valet mode until you again press the✱and buttons 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.
User-Selectable AutoLock and AutoUnLock™
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.

Dual-Zone Piezo Sensor & Glass Tampering Sensor
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 sound abrief warning tone.
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 triggers the alarm. It will detect most attempts, even if the glass does not break in the attempt.
If needed, sensitivity of these sensors can be readjusted by any Authorized Clifford Dealer (preferably your installing dealer). 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:
nDigital 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).
nDigital Tilt/Motion Sensor:Detects less than one degree of lifting or any minute motion of the vehicle whilecompletely ignoring all other
conditions that falsely set off all other sensors. Even if you park on a hill, the Digital Tilt/Motion Sensor will accuratelyrespond to the first hint of
tampering to reliably protect your wheels and entire vehicle.
High-Output Insignia Siren
This Clifford-engineered siren is more rugged than generic sirens and has these features:
nUser-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.
nRemote siren silencing: If triggered by a non-threatening event, you can silence the siren without remotely disarming. Press button while
the siren is sounding. Two chirps confirm that the sensor activated the alarm and the system is remainingarmed. 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 genuinetheft attempt.
nAutomatic noise abatement: Alarm sounding is limited to five siren duration cycles even if a door is left open in the wake of an intrusion.
nLong-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.
nSelectable 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.
nPersonalized Siren Sounds (requires the Self-Powered SmartSiren 4 option) (non-European models only*): The optional
Self-Powered SmartSiren 4 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 distan ce, you will know for sure whether it is your car
or someone else’s. SeeUser-selectable features(column 1, row 2). What’s more, with the optional CliffNet Wizard software and DataPort Replic ator
Cable, you may select up to six sounds from more than a dozen different siren sound choices for tru ly unique customization.
nChoose when your Personalized Siren Sounds* play:For more information at a distance, you may choose to have your Personalized Siren
Sounds “play” every time the alarm is set off, or you may set the system to sound them only upon tr igger activation. When set to “trigger only”
the basic siren wail will sound if a sensoris 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).
* EC regulations prohibit this feature in Europe
How to interpret the LED status indicator
The LED on your car’s dashboard or console will inform you of the system status:
LED ConditionMeaning
OffSystem is disarmed and in normal operating mode (i.e., valet mode is off)
On 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, flashesEither an error (such as arming with the trunk open) or indicates the trigger or sensor that was tr ipped
Automatic 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 release option
If the optional remote trunk release was installed, you may use the button to remotely release the trunk latch. The system’s electronic interlock prevents
unintentional activationof the remote trunk release when you drive, or when the system is armed. The Smart Trunk Release f eature requires installer
programming, so if you have the optional trunkrelease 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 Dealerand have them correct this (it only takes a couple
minutes and there will be no charge to you).
6

Timer options
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 f or further details:
Remote controlled timed headlight 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 button on your remote control.
Window AutoClose option
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 Europeanvehicle models).
NOTE: Although this timer circuit could be wired to control power windows on non-European cars thatdo not have
thiskey-in-the-door “all-close” feature, CliffordElectronics strongly recommends againstthis. Ifso wired, thetimer
would force the window motors to “shut” the windows even if they were already closed. This places e xcessive 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, one or more SmartWindows 4 accessories are needed. One SmartWindows 4 module can control two power
windows. 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. Insidethe 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.
Window AutoClose Instant Bypass
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 bypassprevously noted). When you then exit and
arm, the system will notclose the windows. Normal autoclose operation is restored the next time you arm.
Turbo timer option
Vehicles that have 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 op tional 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 t he assigned button or button combination(your
Clifford installer will have told you which he has assigned to this function) on the remote controlbefore shutting off the engine. Then remove your car
key (the engine will continue running), exit, and press the button to arm the system and lock the doors. While the system is armed, your Concept
100 will continue to idle the engine for any duration you choose up to 4 minutes. To ensure againstany possibility of false alarms, the system will keep the
sensors offline while the engine is idling, then automatically bring them back online right after t he engine is shut down.
Smart AutoTesting™
Each time you remotely arm the system, it tests all triggers and sensors. If the hood or trunkis open, the system willimmediatelysound 4 chirps and 4
indicator light flashes instead of theusual 2 and 2. If adooris ajar, you’ll receive 2 chirps and 2 flashes, then, 5 seconds later, there will be 4 chirps and 4
flashes. If a sensoris malfunctioning, you will receive the usual 2 chirps and 2 flashes, then, 10 seconds later, there will be 4 chirpsand 4 flashes.
NOTE: Since this is a warning indication, you will hear the 4 chirps even if you use the chirp muting feature.
nSpecific malfunction identification: The system can also indicate thespecific 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 orsensor:
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 flashesMeaning
1 flashActivation of Glass Tampering Sensor
2 flashesActivation of Piezo Sensor
4 flashes* Door open/ajar
5 flashesTrunk/hood open/ajar (trunk only if you have the IntelliStart 4 option)
6 flashesHood open/ajar (only if you have the IntelliStart 4 option)
7 flashesIgnition switch was turned on while the system was armed
8 flashesThree or more incorrect valet codes were entered
10 flashesPower tampering or the vehicle battery is very low
* If your vehicle has a factory-installed feature that turns off or dims the interior courte sy lights several seconds after you exit the vehicle, the system cannot provide this indication.

Automatic malfunction bypass with AutoReMonitoring™
The system automatically bypasses any faulty point and arms all other triggers and sensorsfor the utmost possible protection. If you accidentally arm with
the hood, trunk or a dooropen, just close it (no need to disarm-and-rearm) and the system will again monitor that point.
Smart prior intrusion attempt 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 1-8
times, pause, then repeatthe flash cycle 4 more times. Count the flashes in one cycle and refer to the chart above.
Multiple-event TotalRecall™
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 p rocedure:
1.Remotely arm and disarm while pressing the blank button on the PlainView 2 switch.
2.The LED will flash 1-8 times to indicate the most recently activated point, pause, flash 1-10 timesto 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.
SmartPowerUp™ 2
If power is removed, SmartPowerUp 2 ensures the system automatically restores itself to its previou s 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 instantlysound 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 themechanic needs to interrupt power, your system will
automatically return to its valet mode state when power is restored; there will be no alarm activat ion.
Optional CliffNet Wizard™ & DataPort Interface Connector
If you opted to have the Clifford DataPort interface connector installed with your system, you can use our CliffNet Wizard software to access your system
through your Windows PC. CliffNet Wizard will show you, on your PC screen, all your user-programmable feature settings. You can change settings
simply by mouse-clicking the graphical button for each feature. You can customize features, add or delete remote controls, change remote control button
assignments, view a chronological history of trigger and sensor activations, and much more. It’s actually fun! And secure. To learn more and download
this free software, go to www.clifford.com/wizard.

User-selectable features
You may set many of the features to your own preferences. Once you’ve changed a few settings, you’l l find that programming the system is so easy that
you can even do it while driving. The system comes with all of its features preprogrammed as noted by the bold type in the Table of user-selectable features. To
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 feature:
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 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 programming instructions
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 code, then press and hold the ✱button of the PlainView 2 switch for about 4 seconds until you hear a siren chirp.
4. Select the feature column:Press and release the blank button of the PlainView 2 switch the same number of times as the colum n number you wish.
Pause. You will hear the same number of chirps as the column number, audibly confirming your select ion.
5.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 tohelp
you count.
NOTE:You have 5 seconds to enter the row number after selecting the column number. If you wait too long, the system
