Automatic remote control low-battery warning
If your remote control battery is low, you’ll hear an unusually low-pitched chirp when you remotely disarm your IntelliGuard 9000. Replacement batteries are
available from any Authorized Clifford Dealer.
Remote control battery replacement
Replacement of a remote control battery is fairly easy, but any Authorized Clifford Dealer will be happy to do it for you without cost provided that you buy the
replacement battery at their shop (it’s also a good idea to keep a spare of each battery in your glove box just in case).
Master remote:
1. Unscrew the retaining screw on the back of the remote control.
2. Carefully pry apart the remote control case with your fingernails or a small, thin screwdriver blade near the keyring opening (you may leave the keyring
in place).
3. Remove the old battery noting the + and – indications and replace it with the new one.
4. Put the enclosure back together by first aligning the LevelShift button side, then the top of the remote, then snap the case back together at the
bottom.
5. Reinsert the retaining screw but
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Companion remote:
1. Insert a small, thin screwdriver blade in the slot near the keyring opening (you may leave the keyring in place) and turn it to separate the two halves.
2. Remove the old battery noting the + and – indications and replace it with the new one.
3. Put the enclosure back together by first aligning the top of the remote, then snapping the case back together at the bottom.
Two-Point AutoImmobilization
While armed, your system immobilizes both the starter and ignition systems of your vehicle to prevent a thief from starting the engine. The engine will
remain immobilized even if a thief were to cut power to the system or find and remove the system control unit.
EC compliance in Europe only: Unlike the AutoArming feature noted above, AutoImmobilization occurs 30 seconds
after turning off the ignition regardless of opening/closing the doors. When you remotely disarm, you have 30
seconds to start the engine. If more than 30 seconds pass, AutoImmobilization occurs, as indicated by the LED
repeatedly flashing (but at a slower than normal “armed” rate). If AutoImmobilization occurs, use the remote
control to arm and then disarm or use the engine restart feature below.
Optional Wireless Immobilizer™
Clifford’s optional Wireless Immobilizer interrupts a third point in the vehicle, such as the fuel pump. This Clifford innovation provides immobilization
without any wires to the control unit, so a thief could not find the Wireless Immobilizer even if he tried tracing the system wires! Operation of the
Wireless Immobilizer is automatic and user-transparent.
BE sure to keep the record your Clifford installer provides as to the location of the Wireless Immobilizer in case your
vehicle needs future servicing.
NOTE: If your vehicle’s engine ever stalls, the Wireless Immobilizer WILL engage. You must turn the ignition all the
way to “OFF” in order to restart.
Engine Restart Feature: Europe only
In compliance with EC requirements, the AutoImmobilization will automatically engage thirty seconds
after
shutting down the engine. Thus
AutoImmobilization may occur while waiting for a train to pass or other delay. To restart:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
2. Press button 1 of the master remote control or button
of the companion remote.
3. You may now start the engine.
User-Selectable AutoArming™
If this feature is enabled and you forget to remotely arm, the system automatically arms itself 30 seconds
after
the vehicle doors are closed. For your
convenience, if you re-open any door(s) within the 30-second countdown, AutoArming restarts the 30-second delay from the beginning after all doors are
closed. IntelliGuard 9000 has these additional features:
n
AutoArming entry delay:
If you temporarily lose the use of your remote controls, you may turn on the AutoArming entry delay feature. If this
feature and AutoArming are turned on, it allows you to enter the car (if it previously AutoArmed) and silently disarm the system by turning on the
ignition within 15 seconds of opening the door. See
User-selectable features
(column 3, row 3).
n
Visual acknowledgment:
Five seconds after you exit, close all the doors and the interior light has turned off, the indicator lights flash twice to
confirm the AutoArming countdown is progressing. Then, 25 seconds later, the system will AutoArm.
n
Lock upon AutoArming:
To ensure you can’t accidentally lock your keys inside the car, the system is factory-set
not
to lock the doors upon
AutoArming. To change this setting, see
User-selectable features
.
n
Instant AutoArming bypass:
Prevents AutoArming when fueling the vehicle and at other times when you wish to temporarily bypass
AutoArming. To activate Instant AutoArming Bypass, rapidly turn the ignition switch to “ON” then “OFF.” You will hear a siren chirp to confirm
that the system will not AutoArm. The system automatically reverts to its normal operating mode when you next start the engine.
