CLIFFORD 700 - Manual (Page 17)

FACT™— False Alarm Control and Test
With FACT, you’ll never experience repeated false alarms. If the siren goes off, DO
NOT disarm the system; let it run for the full siren duration of 30 or 60 seconds
(user-selectable). 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 someone is tampering with your vehicle.
Fault-Proof™ starter interrupt
While the system is armed, the vehicle’s starter circuit is electronically disconnected.
Our Fault-Proof design ensures that you’ll be able to start the engine even in the
unlikely event of a system malfunction. Other, non-Clifford alarms may leave you
stranded.
Smart AutoTesting™
Each time you remotely arm the system, it tests all triggers and sensors. If the hood or
trunk is open when you remotely arm, the system will immediately alert you of the
problem by issuing 4 chirps and 4 parking light flashes instead of the usual 2 and 2. If a
door is ajar, you will receive the usual 2 chirps and flashes, then, 5 seconds later, there
will be 4 chirps and 4 flashes. (This door ajar warning will not work on vehicles that
have factory-delayed courtesy lights). If a sensor is malfunctioning, you will receive the
usual 2 chirps and 2 flashes, then, 10 seconds later, there will be 4 chirps and 4 flashes.
NOTE: Since this is a warning indication, you will hear the 4 chirps even if you
have the chirp muting feature turned on.
Specific malfunction identification: The system can also indicate the specific
trigger or sensor that is malfunctioning. If you receive the 4-chirp/4-flash signal
upon remote arming, perform the following to identify the malfunctioning trigger
or sensor:
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 blinks in one cycle between pauses (for your convenience, the
blink cycle repeats a total of 5 times) and refer to the chart below:
Number of LED blinks between pauses Malfunction
1 blink Magnetic Resonance Sensor
2 blinks Optional sensor
3 blinks* Door trigger*
4 blinks Trunk trigger
5 blinks Hood trigger
* If your vehicle has a factory-installed feature that turns off or dims the interior courtesy lights
several seconds after you exit the vehicle, the system cannot provide this indication.
