How do I control the lights and sirens?
The resource has two keybinds, Q (INPUT_VEH_RADIO_WHEEL) to toggle lights, and E (INPUT_VEH_HORN) to activate the horn and control the siren.
To activate the lights, tap Q when the lights are off.
To activate the lights and siren at the same time, double-tap Q when the lights are off.
To deactivate the lights (and siren, if on), tap Q when the lights are on.
To activate the horn, tap or hold E when the lights are off, and hold E when the lights are on.
To activate the siren, tap E when the lights are on and the siren is off.
To change siren tone, tap E when the lights and siren are on.
To deactivate the siren, double-tap E when the lights and siren are on.
FAQs
What is the purpose of this resource when other free resources like LVC exist?
Hands-Free Siren (HFS) is not designed to be a replacement for resources like LVC in terms of features or design, but instead an alternative. If you are looking for a fully fledged ELS script with UI, multiple keybinds, etc., you should check out the LVC range from our friend TrevorBarns.
HFS is designed as an alternative resource, taking a more simplistic and lightweight approach to ELS/siren controls.
As the name suggests, it is designed around the hands-free (a.k.a. horn ring transfer) style of siren, which is conceptually different from other resources, such as LVC - the siren is entirely controlled via the horn, with no additional keybinds or buttons.

You have one or more syntax errors in your config.json, use a website like this to check the file.
How do I change the siren/horn for a specific vehicle or vehicles?
You can create vehicle overrides. See here for more info on base-game sirens, and see here for more info on server-sided sirens.
Is the resource compatible with other ELS/siren scripts, such as LVC?
No, other resources like LVC will conflict with HFS.
