CLIFFORD ACE 7500 - Manual (Page 7)

Plain View 2 Coded Valet Mode
All car alarms have a valet mode that turns off the security features. This mode turns off the alarm if the system is not responding to the remote. However,
thieves disable other alarms by flicking this easy-to-find “hidden” valet switch. In contrast, your 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/disarming PIN (personal identification
number) code — the same PIN code described in the BlackJax anti-carjacking section — 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, which is handy when refueling or washing your car.
The system’s factory- set valet/disarming PIN code is 2: ✱✱ blank.
NOTE: If you tem po rar ily lose the use of your re mote con trols, you can dis arm the sys tem by ena bling valet mode.

Re mote Con trolled 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 buttons ✱✱ and ✱. Two parking light flashes confirm valet mode on, one flash confirms valet mode off. The dashboard LED will glow continuously
when valet mode is on. Your system remains in valet mode until you again press buttons ✱✱ and ✱ 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 Aut oUn Lock™
Some vehicles are incompatible with the AutoLock and AutoUnLock features.
For your safety and that of your passengers, the doors can be set to automatically lock the instant you turn on the ignition or when the engine RPMs
reach about twice the idle speed, whichever you prefer. When you turn the ignition off, AutoUnLock automatically unlocks the doors. These are
user-selectable features.
Dual- Zone Piezo Sen sor & Glass Tam per ing 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 a brief warning tone. If needed, you can adjust sensitivity
of these sensor zones via your remote control as described in the following section. 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. The Glass Tampering Sensor rarely ever needs readjustment, but, if
needed, 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. Ask your Authorized Clifford Dealer about this optional sensor that
will further enhance the security of your vehicle:
n Digital 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 accurately respond to the first hint of
tampering to reliably protect your wheels and entire vehicle.
Re mote con trolled Piezo Sen sor zone ad just ments
If the setting(s) of the sensor zones are either too sensitive or not sensitive enough, you may test and adjust them with the master remote control:
1. Disarm the system with the master remote control.
2. On the master remote, press the LevelShift three times, then button 3. You will hear one chirp and the LED will turn on.
3. To test the primary (alarm) zone, press button 4 (you will hear a 4-chirp confirmation), then firmly “thump” the top of the A-pillar (the area between
the side windows near the roof) heel of your fist. If the impact is strong enough to trigger the primary zone, you will hear a siren chirp. To change
sensitivity, press button 4 to reduce sensitivity, button 2 to increase sensitivity. Two chirps will acknowledge each sensitivity increase, one chirp will
confirm each decrease. You can test the new setting by again thumping the top of the A-pillar. You may now press button 3 to adjust the warning
zone (as noted in 3a. below), or press button 1 to fully exit the sensor adjustment mode (you will hear 3 chirps).
a. For the Piezo Sensor warning zone, press button 3 (you’ll hear 1 chirp). Then use the same procedure as above, but thump less forcefully for the
warning zone. When done, press button 1 to reselect the primary zone (you will hear 2 chirps), then button 1 again to fully exit sensor adjustment
mode (you will hear 3 chirps).
