Your 4-button/12-channel remote controls
The 4-button/12-channel remote controls are ultra-sophisticated miniature radio
transmitters powered by a tiny 12-volt battery. Range is up to 30 meters. A weak
remote control battery will reduce range. Electrical interference and even sunspots
can interrupt the signal from your remote control to the system. If this happens,
repeatedly press the remote control button (this works better than holding the button
down). The 4-button/12-channel remote control is the key to your system. It has
Clifford’s Anti-CodeGrabbing (ACG) technology for the ultimate protection against
“code-grabbing” devices (see page 8). You will use your remote to arm and disarm
the system, lock and unlock the doors, enter and exit valet mode, engage and
disengage the AutoImmobilization circuits, and command options such as a remote
trunk release, power window operation and even remote engine starting.
How to use your keychain remote control
Your remote control can individually
command up to 12 different system functions
and options. It’s like having a TV with 12
channels. You change channels (functions)
with your keychain remote control. But
instead of putting 12 buttons on the remote,
we made it easy: First, the button you use
the most — button 1 to arm, disarm, lock and
unlock — is larger than the others. Buttons 2,
3 and 4 are the smaller buttons to the right,
below and left of button 1. The LevelShift button on the side of the remote control
allows you to select channels 5–12:
To transmit either channel 1, 2, 3 or 4:
Just press either button 1, 2, 3 or 4. For
instance, to transmit channel 3, press button 3. While you transmit, the LED
indicator will blink once every second: this indicates level 1.
To transmit either channel 5, 6, 7 or 8:
Press the LevelShift button once. This
shifts buttons 1–4 to level 2 (channels 5–8). Then press the desired button within
the next 7 seconds. For instance, to transmit channel 5, press the LevelShift button
once, then press button 1. While you transmit, you’ll notice that the LED indicator
blinks twice, pauses, blinks twice, etc.: this indicates level 2.
To transmit channel 9, 10, 11 or 12:
Press the LevelShift button twice. This
shifts buttons 1–4 to level 3 (channels 9–12). Then press the corresponding button
within the next 7 seconds. For instance, to transmit channel 10, press the LevelShift
button twice, then press button 2. While you transmit, you’ll notice that the LED
blinks three times, pauses, blinks three times, etc.: this indicates level 3.
NOTE: One second after you stop transmitting level 2 or level 3 (channels 5–12),
the remote control automatically returns to level 1 (channels 1–4).
