[. . . ] World-Class Auto Security TM concept 40 Owner's Manual All Concept Series systems are covered by one or more of the following Clifford Electronics patents: 4, 158, 874; 4, 233, 642; 4, 327, 444; 4, 383, 242; 4, 430, 685; 4, 845, 464; 4, 887, 064; 4, 890, 108; 4, 922, 224; 4, 997, 053; 5, 081, 667; 5, 146, 215; 5, 157, 375 and other patents Table of Contents Standard Features of the Concept 4O Welcome . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15 Remote controlled valet mode entry and exit Keyless entry in valet mode . 16 1 Table of Contents (cont. ) How to interpret the LED status indicator . 23­24 2 Standard Features of the Concept 4O Lifetime Warranty --For as long as you own the vehicle, Clifford will repair or replace the control unit and remote controls free of charge (see warranty card for full details). FACTTM--False Alarm Control and Test -- One of many patented Clifford innovations, FACT absolutely, positively ends recurring false alarms. A Pair of 4-Button/12-Channel Remote Controls --Fingertip command from a typical range of 100 feet. AntiScanTM -- Some car thieves still use "scanners" that transmit one digital code after another until they hit the one code that disarms the alarm. [. . . ] Select row 6 by pressing and releasing the momentary side of the switch 6 times. To help you count, you will hear a chirp each time you press the momentary side. To enter 31 as your new code, you would press the switch in this manner: momentary, momentary, momentary, latched (you'll hear 3 chirps to confirm the first digit), momentary, latched (1 chirp to confirm the second digit), center. Wait 3 seconds until you hear 2 chirps, indicating the new code has been accepted. Turn off the ignition to exit program mode (you'll hear a 3-chirp confirmation). VERY IMPORTANT: You must immediately test your new secret valet code: Turn on the ignition, enter your new code, then flip the switch to its latched position. If it does not, the new code you programmed and the one you just entered do not match. In such a case, the system will revert to the previous code. Remote controlled valet mode entry and exit You can even enable or exit valet mode with your remote control simply by transmitting channel 9 (LevelShift twice, then button 1). In addition to the above indications, two parking light flashes will confirm that you have remotely enabled valet mode, while a single flash confirms exiting of valet mode. Keyless entry in valet mode Even if valet mode is enabled, you can still remotely control the convenience features. For instance, simply press button 1 (channel 1) as if you were disarming and the doors will unlock (indicated by one parking light flash) and the interior lights will turn on. You can also use the other channels to activate options such as a remote trunk release or remote engine starting. 15 FACTTM-- False Alarm Control and Test With FACT, you'll never experience repeated false alarms. If the Insignia Siren goes off, DO NOT remotely disarm the system; allow it to run for the full siren duration. Before sounding the siren a second time, the system automatically checks for another activated trigger to verify that an intrusion is in progress. Should the siren sound again, you will know for sure that someone is tampering with your vehicle. (To disable FACT, see User-selectable features on pages 20-24. ) Selectable starter/ignition interrupt At the time of installation, you can select whether your Concept 40 interrupts the starter line or the ignition line. To verify which line is electronically interrupted, enter the vehicle, close the doors, arm the system while inside the vehicle, then try to start the engine. If it does not crank at all, the starter is disabled. In addition, the starter/ignition interrupt will be set in either Fault-Proof mode, which lets you start the engine even in the unlikely event of a complete system failure, or Super-Security mode that ensures a thief won't be able to start the engine even if he cuts all the wires or finds the system control unit and disconnects it. Changing the mode requires a minor relay wiring change and installer-only programming. Your local Authorized Clifford Dealer can make the changes for you. Smart trunk release option If the remote trunk release feature was installed, you may use remote control button 2 to remotely pop the trunk. Your system has a built-in electronic interlock to prevent unintentional activation of the remote trunk release when you drive, or when the system is armed. How to interpret the LED status indicator The LED on your car's dashboard or console will inform you of the system status: LED Condition Off On Flashing Pause between flashes Meaning System is disarmed and in normal operating mode (i. e. , valet mode is off) Valet mode is on, the vehicle can be driven or serviced without having to disarm System is armed and protecting your vehicle Either a malfunction (see page 18) or an intrusion was attempted (see page 19) Automatic Battery-Saving Mode To conserve vehicle battery power (the LED 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. [. . . ] If you wait more than 10 seconds, the system automatically jumps back to the "Feature Select" position. This is the "stand-by" position: ready for entry of a new programming selection. If no action is taken for the next 60 seconds, the system automatically exits program mode, perfect if you program while driving or if you forget to turn off the ignition. Adding new remote controls For other drivers in your family, or if you wish to control Concept systems on your other cars with the same remote control, you can buy additional remote controls from any Clifford Dealer and program them into the system yourself. Each Concept 40 will respond to as many as four 12-channel remote controls. [. . . ]
