Your 3-button/3-channel remote controls

The 3-button/3-channel remote control is a miniature

radio transmitter powered by a pair of tiny 3-volt

batteries. Range is up to 100 feet. Obstructions,

electrical interference, weather conditions or a weak

battery will reduce the range. Your 3-button/3-channel

remote is the key to your SuperNova system. It’s a

user- friendly device that transmits three unique digital

codes selected from more than 4 billion combinations.

You will use it to arm and disarm the system, lock and

unlock the doors, activate the panic feature and control

options such as remote engine starting and a remote

trunk release. Additional remote controls and remote

control batteries are available from any Authorized

Clifford Dealer, or call our 24-hour Customer Service

Department toll-free at (800) 824-3208.

TO ARM

THE SYSTEM . . . . . . . Press button 1 once. You will hear two chirps and the parking

lights will flash twice. The dashboard LED will flash

repeatedly and the car doors will automatically lock (some

vehicles require an optional adaptor). Any attempt to break

into the vehicle will immediately disable the starter, sound the

siren and flash the parking lights.

TO DISARM

THE SYSTEM . . . . . . . Press button 1 again. One chirp and one flash of the parking

lights will confirm disarming. In addition, the car doors will

automatically unlock and the interior lights will turn on and

stay on for 30 seconds or until you start the engine.

TO SILENTLY

ARM OR DISARM. . . Press button 3. The system will arm or disarm with all the

indications noted above except the chirps.

TO ACTIVATE

THE PANIC

FEATURE . . . . . . . . . .

Press button 1 for 3 seconds. The lights will flash repeatedly

and the siren will blare for 30 or 60 seconds (user-selectable),

or until you press button 1 again to turn it off.

TO ACTIVATE

AN OPTION . . . . . . . Button 2 may activate a remote controlled option, such as a

remote trunk release, IntelliStart remote engine starter,

NightVision’s remote headlight activation feature,the venting

and rolldown features of SmartWindows II, etc.

TO ACTIVATE

ANOTHER OPTION. . If you have the optional 4-button/12-channel remote control,

button 4 can control yet another one of the options noted above.

How to interpret the chirps and parking light flashes

When you use the remote control, the system will respond with chirps (unless you have the

chirp muting feature turned on) and flashes the parking lights to confirm system status. The

meaning of these chirp/flash acknowledgments is as follows:

Chirps and

flashes Meaning

1Alarm is disarmed, you may enter the vehicle

2Alarm is armed and protecting your vehicle

2 and then 4 Alarm is armed, but there is a sensor malfunction (see Smart AutoTesting on page 8)

3Alarm is disarmed, but there was an intrusion attempt (see Smart Prior Intrusion Attempt on page 9)

4Alarm is armed, but there is a trigger malfunction (see Smart AutoTesting on page 8)

Smart AutoArming™

If this feature is enabled and you forget to remotely arm your SuperNova, the system will

arm itself automatically (“passively”)30 seconds after the vehicle doors are closed. For your

convenience, if you re-open any door(s) within the 30-second countdown, AutoArming

will restart from the beginning once all doors are closed. SuperNova includes all these

additional Smart AutoArming features:

AutoArming enable/disable:If you prefer, you may deactivate or reactivate the

AutoArming feature. See User-selectable features on pages 11–12.

Visual acknowledgment: Five seconds after you exit the vehicle and close all

the doors, the parking lights will flash twice to confirm that the AutoArming

countdown is progressing. Then, 25 seconds later, the system will AutoArm.

AutoArm & Lock: To ensure that 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 on pages 11–12.

Instant AutoArming Bypass: Prevents AutoArming when fueling the vehicle and

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 single siren chirp to confirm that the system will not

AutoArm. The system reverts to its normal operating mode when you next

start the engine.

NOTE: To prevent AutoArming of the system when fueling the vehicle, either use

the Instant AutoArming Bypass feature (noted above), or enable valet mode

(see page 6) or leave one of the doors open.

UltraSecure™ valet mode

Your secret valet code

Within seconds, thieves can disable all other alarm brands by hot-wiring the ignition and

flicking an easy to find “hidden” valet switch. Your SuperNova has safeguards that

absolutely ensure that a thief cannot enable the valet mode as a way of “turning off” your

system. How? To enable valet mode, the driver must first enter a secret valet code on the

PlainView switch. Your code will be a 1-to-3-digit number of your choosing. Each digit

can be any number from 1 to 9, (i.e. the code can be any number between 1 and 999,

except those that contain a zero).

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. For instance, when

having your car serviced, washed or parked by a valet.

NOTE: If you temporarily lose the use of your remote controls, you can disarm

the system by enabling valet mode.

Definitions

Digit: A digit is defined as any number from 1 to 9, inclusive.

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 between 11-99 (excluding numbers with

zeros)

A three-digit code = XYZ = any number between 111-999 (excluding numbers

with zeros) Remember, no code can have a zero.

PlainView switch: A rocker switch mounted on your car’s dashboard or console.

The switch has three positions: 1.) Latched 2.) Center 3.) Spring-loaded

momentary. When you press the latched side, the switch remains in its pressed

position. When you press the momentary side, the switch bounces back to the

center position.

Entering a digit: To enter a digit, you tap (press and release) on the momentary

side of the PlainView switch the number of times corresponding to the

numeral of the digit to be entered, followed by pressing to the latched side,

then returning the switch to its center position.

Entering a code: If your code has only one digit, enter the code as described in

“Entering a digit,” then return the switch to its center position. If your code

has more than one digit, just repeat the above for each digit of your code, then

return the switch to its center position.

Currently, your factory-set valet code is the single digit “2.”

To enable valet mode:

1. Turn the ignition switch to its “ON” position or start the engine.

2. Enter your secret valet code on the PlainView switch, then return the switch to its

center position.

3. You now have 3 seconds to press the switch to its latched position (valet mode).

Once you have entered the valet mode, the system’s LED will glow continually

for on-going visual confirmation of valet mode.

Keyless entry in valet mode: Even in valet mode, you will still be able to

remotely control all the convenience features. For instance, simply press

button 1 as if you were disarming. The doors will unlock (as indicated by one

flash of the parking lights) and the interior lights will illuminate. Press button

1 again and the doors will lock (indicated by two parking light flashes). You

can also use buttons 2 and 3 to activate options such as a remote trunk release.

To exit valet mode:

1. Turn the ignition switch to its “ON” position or start the engine.

2. Flick the PlainView switch back to its center position. The LED will turn off to

confirm that the system is in normal operating mode.

How to set your own secret valet code

Since all SuperNova systems have the same factory-set valet code (“2”), it is highly

advisable that you set your own valet code. You may choose any 1-, 2-, or 3-digit valet

code so long as it does not have any zeros. You can also change your valet code

whenever you want. To do so, use the following procedure.

1. Write down the 1-to-3 digit code you wish to use (remember, the code may not

have any zeros).

2. Turn your vehicle’s ignition switch to its “ON” position.

3. Enter your current valet code (if this is the first time you are setting a new code,

enter the factory-set code“2” by tapping the momentary [spring-loaded] side of

the switch twice, then pressing the latched side).

4. When the LED turns on, immediately tap and release the momentary side of the

switch 8 times (after the first three taps, you will hear a single chirp confirmation

each time you tap the momentary side — in this case for a total of 5 chirps).

5. Immediately after the 5th chirp, press the latched side of the switch, then enter

each digit of your new code. After each digit of your code is entered by pressing

the latched side, you will hear the same number of chirps as the digit just entered.

When done, return the switch to its center position. You will hear 1 chirp and the

LED will turn off. Turn the ignition off and you will hear 3 chirps to indicate that

you have exited programming mode.

6. VERY IMPORTANT:You must immediately test your new valet code to ensure

that you entered it correctly. To do so, turn the ignition on, enter your new code,

then press the latched side. The LED should be illuminated. NOTE: If the LED

does not illuminate, your new code was entered incorrectly. The system has

automatically reverted to the previous valet code.

Example of setting a new valet code:

Lets say you want to change the valet code from its original single-digit “2” code to a

double-digit code of “31.” You would do the following:

Turn the ignition on, enter your current code, tap the momentary side of the

switch 8 times, press the latched side, then enter the new code: momentary,

momentary, momentary, latched (3 chirps), momentary, latched (1 chirp),

center. Wait 2 seconds for the the system to exit program mode (1 chirp and

theLED turnsoff), then turn theignition off(3 chirpsconfirm programmode exit).

That’s it, but be sure to perform step 6 on the previous page to verify your new code.

Dual-Sensor Protection

Your SuperNova has two sensors: A Glass Tampering Sensor that can detect attempts to

break any of the vehicle’s windows, and a Magnetic Resonance Sensor that detects

intrusion-related vibrations and impacts. This provides twice the level of protection

offered by most other brands of car alarms. For an even greater level of security,

consider Clifford Electronics optional sensors: OmniSensor (a digital analysis

vibration/impact sensor) and/or the Proximity Sensor (a passenger compartment radar

sensor, particularly important for convertible and other open-top vehicles).

Smart AutoTesting™

Each time you remotely arm your SuperNova, it will automatically perform an extensive

series of tests on all the system’s triggers and sensors. If a trigger malfunction is found,

you will be visually and audibly alerted immediately with 4 chirps and 4 flashes of the

parking lights instead of the usual 2 and 2. If a sensor is malfunctioning, you will

receive the usual 2 chirps and 2 flashes, then, a few seconds later, there will be 4 chirps

and 4 flashes.

Specific malfunction identification:

Your SuperNova not only tells you if the problem is a trigger or sensor, but it can also

indicate the specific trigger or sensor that is malfunctioning. This feature saves you time

and money since your installer won’t have to spend hours trying to determine where the

problem is. Here’s how it works, you receive the 4-chirp/4-flash signal upon remote

disarming:

1. When you insert your key and turn on the ignition, the LED indicator inside the

vehicle will be flashing, pause, then repeat.

2. Count the number of blinks in one cycle between pauses (for your convenience,

the blink cycle repeats 5 times) and refer to the chart below:

Number of LED blinks between pauses Malfunction

1 blink Glass Tampering or Magnetic Resonance sensor

2 blinks Door trigger

3 blinks Trunk or hood trigger

Automatic malfunction bypass

To provide the utmost protection even if a system component malfunctions, your

SuperNova will automatically bypass the faulty point and arm all other triggers and

sensors to provide the utmost possible protection until you can have the system serviced

by your local Authorized Clifford Dealer.

TotalRecall™

The system’s non-volatile memory records the identity of the last activated or

malfunctioning trigger or sensor, which allows your installer to instantly track down a

malfunction and save you substantial servicing costs. To identify the trigger or sensor

held in the system’s non-volatile memory, simply perform the following procedure:

1. With the ignition OFF, flick the PlainView valet switch to its latched side.

2. Press button 1 to “arm” the system, then again to “disarm.”

3. The LED will blink several times, pause, then repeat the blink cycle 4 times.

4. Count the number of blinks in one cycle and refer to the chart that follows:

Number of LED blinks per cycle Trigger/Sensor that Last Activated or Malfunctioned

1 blink Glass Tampering or Magnetic Resonance sensor

2 blinks Door trigger

3 blinks Trunk or hood trigger

FACT™— False Alarm Control and Test

With FACT, you’ll never experience repeated false alarms. If your siren goes off, DO

NOT remotely disarm the system while the siren sounds; allow it to run for the full siren

duration. Before sounding the siren a second time, the system automatically checks for

another activated trigger to verify that an intrusion is in progress. Should the siren sound

again, you will know for sure that someone is tampering with your vehicle. (To disable

FACT, see User-selectable features on pages 11–12.)

Smart prior intrusion attempt alert

When you remotely disarm, if you hear 3 chirps instead of the usual one chirp 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 blink several times, pause, then repeat the blink cycle

4 more times. Count the number of blinks in one cycle and refer to the chart below:

Number of LED blinks per cycle Trigger/Sensor Activated

1 blink Glass Tampering or Magnetic Resonance sensor

2 blinks Door trigger

3 blinks Trunk or hood trigger

Automatic starter interrupt

Your SuperNova automatically prevents engine starting while the system is armed.
