Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Acoustic Alarm
After a triggering criteria is met, the DWA sends the telegram to the DWA K-Bus.
The emergency siren acknowledges the alarm telegram.
If the DWA receives no confirmation from the SINE (siren), it repeats the alarm telegram up to 8 times. If it still receives no reply, the emergency operation horn (vehicle horn) is activated.
When the DWA is disarmed, the acoustic alarm is cancelled immediately and without acknowledgment.
