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
High-output siren
Your Falcon II siren sounds whenever the system detects an intrusion attempt. It
also provides these features:
Long-term chirp silencing:
You may silence the arm/disarm chirps until you
decide to restore them. Indicator light flashes will provide visual confirmation
of remote arming and disarming. See User-selectable features below.
Remote controlled chirp muting: This is especially valuable when parking
late at night in a quiet residential area or any other time when you want to arm
or disarm silently. To do so, simply press remote control button III instead of
the usual button I.
How to interpret the chirps and indicator 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:
Chirps and flashes Meaning
1
Your system is disarmed or you have remotely exited valet mode (see page 9)
2
Your system is armed or you have remotely engaged valet mode (see page 9)
2 and then 4
Armed but there is a door open the sensor is malfunctioning
(see Smart AutoTesting below)
3
Disarmed but there was an intrusion attempt while you were away
(see Smart prior intrusion attempt below)
4
Armed but the bonnet or boot is ajar (see Smart AutoTesting below)
FACT — False Alarm Control and Test
With FACT, you’ll never experience repeated false alarms. If the siren goes off, 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 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 13-14.)
