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, even sunspots can interr upt the signal from your remote to the system. The remotes
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 for the ultimate protection against remote control cloning devices. You will use your Tazor 4 remote control to arm and disarm the system,
lock and unlock the doors, activate/deactivate the panic feature, enable/exit valet mode and comman d 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 lights will flash repeatedly and the siren will sound. If the ignition is on
(indicating you are in the car), the doors will lock to prevent an assailant from entering (note: s ome vehicles are unable to lock the
doors while the ignition is on). If the ignition is off, the doors unlock,letting you 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. If this button is set up as a turbo timer on your car,
press it before turning off the ignition, then turn off the ignition, exit and remotely arm/lock. T he engine will idle for the duration
set by your installer (1 second – 4 minutes) to cool the turbocharger, then shuts down the engine and brings the sensors online.
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’Tsnoted in the IntelliStart 4 user’s manual. Since
remote control range is an issue with remote engine starting, you may want to consider the optionalElectroLoop Antenna option.
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 literally 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 andremote 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 hoppi ng/jumping sequence used by other car alarm
manufacturers. In contrast, your Tazor 4 uses complex digital signal processing and unbreachable co de encryption to randomly change the digital code
every time you use the remote control. Your remotes will nevertransmit the same code twice, and the control unit will neveraccept 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 Tazor 4 system.
Remote control battery replacement
Replacement of the battery is simple, but any Authorized Clifford Dealer will be happy to do it foryou provided you buy the replacement battery at their shop.
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.
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.

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. Tazor 4 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.
Starter AutoImmobilization
While armed, your system immobilizes the starter 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.
Optional Wireless Immobilizer™
Clifford’s optional Wireless Immobilizer interrupts a second point in the vehicle, such as the igni tion or 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.
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
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.
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. Tazor 4 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 turn off the security features. This mode is often used to tu rn off the alarm if the system is not responding to the
remote. 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 Tazor 4 system has safeguards that ensure a thief cannot enable the valet mode asa 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
The Dual-Zone Piezo Sensor detects theft-related vibrations/ impacts and triggers the alarm. It als o has a warning zone that detects less serious occurrences
—such as someone bumping your car door with their’s—and sounds a brief warning tone. If needed, sensitivity of this sensor 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 t hat will further enhance the security of your vehicle:
nGlass Tampering Sensor:Today’s thieves shatter vehicle windows with a small metal punch device that does not create any vi brations for an
impact sensor to detect. The Glass Tampering Sensor detects the sound of glass breaking, and glass tampering attempts, and will trigger the alarm.
nDigital Tilt/Motion Sensor: Detects less than one degree of lifting or any minute motion of the vehicle while completely 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.
Smart trunk release option
If you have this option, you may use the button to remotelyrelease the trunk latch. The system’s electronic interlock prevents unintentional activation
of the remote trunk release when you drive, or when the system is armed. The Smart Trunk Release fe ature requires installer programming, so if you have
the optional trunk release 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 Dealer and have them correct this (it onl y takes a couple minutes and there will be no charge to you).
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, CliffordElectronicsstrongly recommends against this. Ifsowired,the timer
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 Tazor 4
will continue to idle the engine for any duration you choose up to 4 minutes. To ensure against anypossibility 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.
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.

High-Output Siren
This siren has these 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: You may change the factory set 30-second siren duration to 60 or 90 seconds via the programming pro cedure or via
the CliffNet Wizard software. SeeUser-selectable features.
nPersonalized Siren Sounds (requires the Self-Powered SmartSiren 4 option):The optional Self-Powered SmartSiren 4 sounds six
different alarm sounds. You may turn any of the six sounds on or off viaUser-selectable features programming to create a different combination of
sound patterns. So if you hear a siren at a distance, you will know for sure whether it is your caror someone else’s. See User-selectable features
(column 1, row 2). What’s more, with the optional CliffNet Wizard software and DataPort Replica tor Cable, you may select up to six sounds from
more than a dozen different siren sound choices for truly unique customization.
nChoose when your Personalized Siren Sounds play: 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 trigger 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).
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 1-10 times to indicate the most recently activated point, pause, flash 1-10 times for the second most recent 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.
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
jumps back to the “Feature Select” position (this is indicated with 3 chirps). If you wait another 60 seconds, the system
will exit program mode.
6. Pause. You will hear either one or two chirps: Two chirps = ON, one chirp = OFF(If there is a NOTEfor the selected feature, perform the actions
noted).
NOTE: Some features, such as AutoStart (column 2, row 4) used with the optional IntelliStart 4 accessory, have
multiple settings. Simply reselect the feature additional times to progress through each possible setting.
7.You may now select another feature or exit program mode:
a.To select another feature in that same column, repeat step 5 within the next 5 seconds(after 5 seconds, 3 chirps mean you are back to the
“Feature Select” position).
b.To select a different feature column, go to step 4.
c.To exit program mode, turn the ignition off (you’ll hear 3 chirps and the LED will turn off). If dr iving, just wait 60 seconds and the system
will automatically exit program mode.
If you make an error, just turn off the ignition and start again.
EXAMPLE: Turn on Lock upon AutoArming and turn off Remote Valet Mode and FACT:
In this example, we’ll change three different features in just one programming session: We’ll turn on the Lock upon AutoArming feature, turn off remote
controlled valet mode and turn off the FACT anti-falsing feature:
1.Enter program modeas previously noted (ignition on, enter your valet code, press and hold the ✱button on the PlainView 2 switch until
you hear a chirp).
2.Since the Lock upon AutoArmingfeature is in column 3, row 2 of the Table, go to column 3 by pressing the blank button on the Pla inView 2
switch three times. Wait for the 3-chirp/column 3 confirmation. Then press the ✱button twice (you’ll hear a chirp each time you press the
✱button). After a brief pause, you’ll hear 2 chirps to confirm that Lock upon AutoArming is now on.
3. Since FACTis also in column 3, there is no need to reselect column 3. Therefore, you can go straight to the row selection. Select row 4 by
pressing the ✱button four times. After a brief pause, you’ll hear one chirp to confirm that FACTis now off.
4. You’ll note that the Remote valet modefeature is at column 2, row 3. To change to column 2, press the blank button twice, then wait for the
