False Alarm Pre ven tion & FACT™
With Clifford’s patented FACT (False Alarm Control and Test) feature, you’ll never
experience repeated false alarms. If the siren sounds, DO NOT remotely disarm the
system; allow it to run for the full 30-second siren duration. Before sounding the siren a
second time, the system automatically checks for another activated sensor or 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. (If you wish, you may turn off FACT,
see
User-selectable features
on pages 21-22.)
How to in ter pret the chirps and in di ca tor light flashes
When you use the remote control, the system responds with chirps (unless
the chirp muting
feature is turned on) and indicator light flashes.
These chirp/flash acknowledgments mean:
Chirps/flashes
Meaning
1
You have disarmed the system
OR (flash only) you have remotely exited valet mode (see page 14)
2
You have armed the system
OR (flashes only) you have remotely entered valet mode (see page 14)
2 and then 4
Armed but there is a door open (if there was a 5-sec. delay)
OR the sensor is malfunctioning (if there was a 10-sec. delay) (see Smart
AutoTesting on page 17)
3
Disarmed but there was an intrusion attempt whilst you were away (see
Smart prior intrusion attempt on page 17)
4
Armed but the bonnet or boot is ajar (see Smart AutoTesting on page 17)
OR (flashes only) remote Proximity Sensor zone override (see page 15)
5
20 seconds to engine shutdown: enter your disarming code IMMEDIATELY
(see page 5)
How to in ter pret the LED status in di ca tor
The LED mounted on your car’s dashboard or console will inform you of the system status:
LED Condition
Meaning
Off
System is disarmed and in normal operating mode (i.e., valet mode is off)
On
Valet mode is on, the vehicle may be entered without having to disarm
Flashing rapidly
(ignition off)
System is armed and protecting your vehicle
Flashing slowly
(ignition on or off)
System is disarmed but the two AutoImmobilisation points and the
Wireless FuelGuard have been engaged (see page 12)
Flashing rapidly
(ignition on)
20-second countdown to engine shutdown: Enter your disarming code
IMMEDIATELY (see page 5)
Pause between slow
flashes (ignition on)
Either a malfunction (see Smart AutoTesting on page 17) or an intrusion
was attempted (see Smart prior intrusion attempt alert on page 17)
Auto mat ic Battery- Saving Mode
To conserve vehicle battery power (the LED draws more current than the entire control
unit), if the system has remained continuously armed for 48 hours, the flash rate will
automatically slow to half the normal rate. After 96 hours, it slows to one-quarter.
