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 100 feet. A weak remote control battery will reduce range. Electrical interference and even sunspots can interrupt the signal from your remote control to the system.
What each button/channel does Your ACE 500 remote controls come pre-programmed so that certain channels command certain functions. If you wish, you can actually assign any channel to any function (see pages 15-16). The following chart indicates what each remote control channel number does, and how to transmit each channel number.

Anti-CodeGrabbing™ (ACG) with Random Code Encryption A Clifford exclusive that protects you and your automobile from the most effective and onerous car stealing device ever used by car thieves — a code-grabber. Code-grabbers are far more effective and efficient than scanning.
Valet mode Whenever the system is put in valet mode, all of the system’s security features are switched off. At various times, you will need to turn the system off.
AutoLock/AutoUnLock™ For your safety and that of your passengers, the vehicle doors will automatically lock the instant you turn on the ignition to start the engine (see User-selectable features on pages 15-16). When you turn the ignition off to shut down the engine, the AutoUnLock feature automatically unlocks the doors.
Automatic malfunction bypass To provide protection even if a component malfunctions, the system automatically bypasses any faulty point and arms all other triggers and sensors to provide the utmost possible protection until you can have the system serviced by your local Authorized Clifford Dealer.
Headlight Reminder If you turn the ignition off and open the driver’s door to exit the car without having turned off the headlights, you will be reminded to turn them off with a distinctive rapid, multi-chirp warning. If your vehicle already has a similar warning feature, you may turn off the ACE 500 Headlight Reminder feature.
User-selectable features Your ACE 500 vehicle security system allows you to set many of its features to your own personal preferences. We have made the programming procedures very simple: to make a change, you just flick the valet switch a few times.
