Anti-Theft Alarm System: Introduction

The anti-theft alarm system (DWA) detects and reports attempts at intrusion and tampering with the vehicle. The vehicle interior is monitored by the ultrasonic interior motion detector (USIS). If an attempt is made to break into the vehicle and to enter the interior, the DWA alarm is triggered. A tilt alarm sensor integrated into the siren monitors the vehicle's position. The tilt alarm sensor detects if the vehicle is raised or towed away.

The DWA alarm consists of:

• acoustic alarm via siren (intermittent tone for 30 seconds)
• visual alarm via lighting system (hazard warning lights)

The alarm can be encoded depending on the country concerned.
