Arming The DWA: Notes

The DWA is armed from the driver's door or by the Remote Control when the vehicle is double-locked. The DWA is armed as soon as the locked status sent by the CAS over the K-CAN-S is confirmed. The following phases are involved:

Immediately after arming: 

• The emergency siren is armed and monitors its voltage supply.
• The DWA commences line monitoring on the local DWA K-Bus.

3 Seconds after arming: 

• Each of the door and lid contacts to be monitored is included in the alarm table after having been in the rest position for 3 seconds.
• Faulty contacts are evaluated as closed, but are not included in the alarm table.

3 seconds after double-locking the vehicle or after locking the last door or lid: 

• The referencing phase of the tilt sensor and interior sensor starts.
• The sensitivity level is set depending on the window and sunroof position.
• If the trunk lid is opened during the referencing phase, the referencing phase is interrupted and re-started after the trunk lid is locked.

20 seconds after locking the last door or lid: 

• The interior sensor is included in the alarm table when its referencing period is completed.

30 seconds after locking the last door or lid: 

• The tilt sensor is included in the alarm table when its referencing period is completed.
• If no acknowledgment telegram is received from the tilt sensor within 60 seconds of arming, this signal is deleted.
• If at least one input signal is not in idle state or if a sensor is defective, this is signalled by the flashing LED.
