User manual CLIFFORD AVANTGUARD 3

[. . . ] World-Class Auto Security TM AvantGuard III Owner's Manual WARNING The AvantGuard III system is designed to be used ONLY on a fuel-injected, petrol or diesel powered vehicle with an automatic transmission. Installing AvantGuard III on a vehicle that has a manual transmission poses an EXTREME SAFETY RISK!Never install a Clifford remote engine starting product on a manual transmission vehicle. Always exercise good judgment and common sense when using the remote starter: · NEVER remotely start the vehicle in an enclosed area without sufficient ventilation. · NEVER engage the ShortStop nor one or both AutoStart features if the vehicle is in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation. [. . . ] That means when you disarm with your remote, the system will adjust the seating position to your settings. When your spouse disarms with the other remote, the seating position will automatically adjust to your spouse's settings. In other words, when you disarm with remote #1, AvantGuard III will automatically activate the vehicle's memory seat position #1; when disarmed with remote #2, memory position #2 is activated, and so on in any combination you wish using up to four different remote controls and four different memory positions. The two remote controls that came with your AvantGuard III have been preset to activate your vehicle's memory positions #1 and #2. You can change the assignments of these two remote controls and/or associate additional remote controls with other memory positions. See User-Selectable Features on pages 31-35. 20 Dual sensors Your AvantGuard III system has both a Digital Dual-Zone Proximity Sensor IV and a Dual-Zone Piezo Sensor. The Digital Dual-Zone Proximity Sensor IV is a microprocessor-controlled passenger compartment radar sensor that provides full perimeter protection: If someone is lurking near your car, the sensor's exterior warning zone will trigger the system to sound a one-second warning tone, but if a thief actually leans into the passenger compartment through an open window or tries to cut through a soft-top, the sensor instantly triggers the system to blast the siren, flash the side lights and immobilise the starter and ignition system. What's more, thanks to Clifford Electronics' advanced engineering, this new-generation radar sensor uses only 30% of the power required by other radar sensors (so it won't drain your car battery), yet provides better sensitivity and far more precise discrimination between genuine threats to your vehicle and everyday environmental conditions that cause other radar sensors to false alarm. The Dual-Zone Piezo Sensor is an all-electronic vibration/impact sensor. If someone forcefully leans on your parked vehicle or lightly taps the bumper while parking, the Piezo Sensor's warning zone will cause the system to issue a warning (a different sound than that triggered by the Proximity Sensor, so you can easily distinguish between the two). However, if there is any genuine intrusion-related tampering, the Piezo sensor will instantly trigger the system to blast the siren, flash the side lights and immobilise the starter and ignition system. Unlike other vibration/impact sensors, the sensitivity settings of the Dual-Zone Piezo Sensor are impervious to temperature variations. Both sensors are completely adjustable by you with just a few presses on your remote control. This makes it particularly easy to reduce the sensitivity a few steps when, for instance, in a vibration-prone parking area such as a busy road with large trucks and buses passing close to your vehicle. Remote controlled sensor adjustments Unlike other alarm sensors, you can adjust sensitivity of the two system sensors electronically without tools and without even knowing where they are mounted!If the setting(s) of the Dual-Zone Proximity Sensor IV and/or Dual-Zone Piezo Sensor are either too sensitive or not sensitive enough, you may individually test and adjust the settings of each zone. Disarm the system with the remote control, open the driver's window (if adjusting the Proximity Sensor), then select the sensor and sensor zone you wish to adjust: a. Proximity Sensor interior alarm zone: Transmit channel 11 (LevelShift twice, then button 3). Proximity Sensor exterior warning zone: Transmit channel 12 (LevelShift twice, then button 4). Piezo Sensor primary alarm zone: Transmit channel 15 (LevelShift three times, then button 3). Piezo Sensor secondary warning zone: Transmit channel 16 (LevelShift three times, then button 4). To test the current sensitivity setting of the sensor zone you selected: 21 a. Ideally, it should chirp when you lean over the driver's seat, but remain silent as you lean toward the window. Ideally, it should chirp only when you move within one foot of the vehicle, as a thief would do to see what was inside. Piezo Sensor alarm zone: Firmly "thump" the top of the window pillar. [. . . ] 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 make a few programming changes while driving. Reset all features Whenever you wish, you may reset all the user-selectable features to their factory settings (factory settings are noted in bold type on the Table of User-Selectable Features). Doing so will reset all user-selectable features except your current valet code, nor will it erase the remote controls programmed into your system (to do this, use the column 2, row 6 Erase all remotes feature). To reset all other user-selectable features, use the following procedure: 1. [. . . ]
