FACT™— False Alarm Control and Test
With FACT, you’ll never experience repeated false alarms. If the Insignia Siren goes
off, DO NOT remotely disarm the system; 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 20-24.)
Selectable starter/ignition interrupt
At the time of installation, you can select whether your Concept 40 interrupts the starter
line or the ignition line. To verify which line is electronically interrupted, enter the
vehicle, close the doors, arm the system while inside the vehicle, then try to start the
engine. If the engine cranks but does not start, the ignition is bypassed. If it does not
crank at all, the starter is disabled.
In addition, the starter/ignition interrupt will be set in either Fault-Proof mode, which
lets you start the engine even in the unlikely event of a complete system failure, or
Super-Security mode that ensures a thief won’t be able to start the engine even if he cuts
all the wires or finds the system control unit and disconnects it.
Changing the mode requires a minor relay wiring change and installer-only programming.
Your local Authorized Clifford Dealer can make the changes for you.
Smart trunk release option
If the remote trunk release feature was installed, you may use remote control button 2 to
remotely pop the trunk. Your system has a built-in electronic interlock to prevent uninten-
tional activation of the remote trunk release when you drive, or when the system is armed.
How to interpret the LED status indicator
The LED 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 can be driven or serviced without having to disarm
Flashing
System is armed and protecting your vehicle
Pause between flashes
Either a malfunction (see page 18) or an intrusion was attempted (see page 19)
Automatic 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.
