AutoTesting™ Each time you remotely arm your XL500, 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. Automatic malfunction bypass To provide the utmost protection even if a system component malfunctions, your XL500 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. 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 of 30 seconds. 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 page 6.) Prior intrusion attempt alert When you remotely disarm, if you hear 3 chirps instead of the usual one chirp it means that the system foiled an intrusion attempt while you were away. How to interpret the chirps When you use the remote control, the system will respond with chirps and, optionally, flashes the parking lights to confirm system status. The meaning of these acknowledgments is as follows: Chirps 1 2 2 and then 4 3 4 Meaning Alarm is disarmed, you may enter the vehicle Alarm is armed and protecting your vehicle Alarm is armed, but there is a sensor malfunction (see AutoTesting above) Alarm is disarmed, but there was an intrusion attempt (see Prior intrusion attempt alert above) Alarm is armed, but there is a trigger malfunction (see AutoTesting above) 4
