Welcome to the world of high-technology vehicle security and convenience C ongratulations on the purchase of your AvantGuard III vehicle security/convenience system. Clifford Electronics has long been recognised as the world’s leading manufacturer of high-technology vehicle security systems and accessories.
Your 4-button/16-channel remote controls The 4-button/16-channel rosewood-style remote controls are ultra-sophisticated miniature radio transmitters powered by a tiny 12-volt battery. A weak remote control battery will reduce the remote’s range. Electrical interference and even sunspots can interrupt the signal from your remote to the system.
What each button/channel does Your AvantGuard III remote controls come pre-programmed so that certain channels command certain functions. The following chart indicates what each remote control channel number does, and how to transmit each channel number.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM . . . . . . . Press button 1 (channel 1) once. You will hear two chirps and the side lights will flash twice. The dashboard LED will flash repeatedly and the car doors will automatically lock. On certain vehicles, if so wired, the power windows and sunroof will automatically close.
TO ACTIVATE OTHER OPTIONS REGARDLESS OF ALARM STATE . . . . . . . Button 4 (channel 4) and channels 5–8 and 13–14 (see How to use your keychain remote control on page 14) can activate accessories such as remote power window control, electric garage door and entry gate opener(s), Clifford ACG systems on your other vehicles, etc.
Extended accessory power How many times have you parked and turned off the ignition only to realise that you forgot to close one of the power windows? Now your AvantGuard III will continue to power yo.
Definitions n Digit: A digit is defined as any number from 1 to 9, inclusive. n Valet code: A valet code may be 1 to 3 digits: A one-digit code=X=any number between 1-9 A two-digit code=XY=any number .
Setting your own secret valet code Since all Clifford systems have the same factory-set valet code, it is highly advisable that you set your own valet code. You may choose any 1-, 2-, or 3-digit code that does not have any zeros. You can also change your valet code whenever you want.
Dual sensors Your AvantGuard III system has both a Digital Dual-Zone Proximity Sensor IV and a Dual-Zone Piezo Sensor. The Digital Dual-Zone Proximity Sensor IV is a microprocessor-controlled passenge.
a. Proximity Sensor alarm zone : Lean into the passenger compartment. You’ll hear a chirp when the zone detects your presence. Ideally, it should chirp when you lean over the driver’s seat, but remain silent as you lean toward the window. b. Proximity Sensor warning zone : Lean toward the driver’s window.
NightVision All of the following NightVision Headlight Automation features are built into your AvantGuard III: n User-selectability: You may turn the NightVision features on or off whenever you wish (see User-Selectable Features on pages 31-35). n When driving at dusk: The system automatically turns on the headlights.
Smart AutoTesting Each time you remotely arm the system, it tests all triggers and sensors. If the bonnet or boot is open when you remotely arm, the system will immediately alert you of the problem by sounding 4 chirps and 4 side light flashes instead of the usual 2 and 2.
Smart prior intrusion attempt alert If you hear three chirps when you remotely disarm, it means that a trigger or sensor was activated in your absence. When you enter the vehicle and turn on the ignition, the LED will flash 1–5 times, pause, then repeat the flash cycle 4 more times.
n Personalised Siren Sounds: Most alarm sirens have a single “warble” tone. A few offer “six-tone” sirens that cannot be adjusted or require destruction of circuit wires to change the sounds (the change is permanent and cannot be changed again).
SmartPowerUp II If power to the system is ever removed, SmartPowerUp II ensures the system will automatically restore itself to its previous state when power is restored. So if a thief disconnects the power and then restores it in an attempt to start the car, the system will re-arm and instantly sound the siren while immobilising the vehicle.
Remote Engine Starting How to remotely start/shutdown the engine WARNING: Always exercise caution and common sense when using the remote starting feature. Never remotely start the engine or engage the AutoStart feature when the vehicle is parked in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation.
The AutoStart features Your AvantGuard III has two AutoStart features: n AutoStart Battery Mode: This is an especially valuable feature when you need to leave your vehicle parked for an extended period of time. If engaged, the system will continually monitor the voltage level of the vehicle battery while you are away.
Remote Starting DOs and DON’Ts DOs • Park in an open, well-ventilated area. • Always engage the parking brake. • Make sure you put the transmission in PARK before shutting down the engine. • Set the air conditioner, heater, defroster and other accessories to the desired levels.
User-selectable features Your AvantGuard III allows you to set many of its features to your own personal preferences. Although the system’s programming capabilities are very extensive, we have made the programming procedures very simple: to make a change, you just flick the PlainView switch a few times.
b. To select a different feature column, go to step 4. c. To exit program mode, turn the ignition off (you’ll hear 3 chirps and the LED will turn off to indicate exit of programming mode). If driving, just wait 60 seconds and the system will automatically exit program mode.
4. Now look up the location on the table of QuietChirps. Note that it’s in column 3, row 5 (latched, centre, latched, centre, latched, centre, wait for the 3-chirp/column 3 confirmation, then 5 momentary presses). After a brief pause, you’ll hear two chirps to confirm that the QuietChirps feature is now on.
