Central Locking and Anti-Theft
DWA alarm
The DWA alarm system is
armedldisarmed when thevehicle
is locked / unlocked from either the door or trunk.
Convenience closing
I opening
The windows and sun roof can be closed or opened by hold-
ing the key in the
loclc I unlock position.
Crash sensor
The crash sensor is located in the left front
kick panel. It func-
tions by unlocking all doors in the event of an accident.
NOTE-
Continuous and repeated locliing / unlocking may cause
timedarrest of
the locliing system. When activated, the timed
arrest lasts for two minutes. The timed arrest does not affect
the crash sensor
unlocliing the doors in case of an accident.
Door locks
The driver's door lock location is the only point outside of the
vehicle where the ltey can mechanically control all of the cen-
tral locking system functions.
4 Door key positions for electrical / manual loclting and
unlocking are:
1. Manual unlock
2. Unlock, DWA disarmed, convenience open
(hold until activated)
3. Neutral position
4. Lock, DWA armed, convenience closing
(hold until activated)
5. Manual lock
The door lock actuators are sealed. self contained units with
no replaceable parts. The
actuators use Hall effect sensors in
place of pin contacts and microswitches to provide DOOR
OPEN
I DOOR CLOSED status signal. Each door lock button
only affects the actuator it controls. There is no effect on the
other doors.
An automatic locking feature activates door locks when a
road speed signal of 4 mph is detected via the K-Bus. The fac-
tory default coding for this feature is OFF, but can be coded
ON for individual users with the Key Memoryfunction. See
Car Memory
1 Key Memory later in this section.

- The trunk can be opened from this remote release when the
doors are locked from the central locking button. The
trunk
remote button is disabled when the trunkis loclted in the valet
position or when a speed signal of
4 mph is present at the
GM.
Remote entry (FZV)
< The €39 remote (keyless) entry system (FZV) uses a tiny ra-
dio transmitter in the vehicle key to
lock and unlock the doors
and the trunk by remote control. There are a number of other
features incorporated in FZV:
Locltinglunloclting of fuel filler lid
Selective unlocking of driver's door (as with key in lock)
Armingldisarming of DWA alarm system
Remote unlocking of
trunk lid or tailgate
Comfort opening of windows and sunroof
* Interior lighting activation
Panic mode alarm activation
* Models to 1999: Key incorporates LED. LED informs oper-
ator that an FZV signal is being transmitted. LED is also
useful indicator of key initialization status and lkey self-test.
Keys delivered with four different colored labels. This is
helpful to differentiate FZV keys during initialization,
pre.
venting possibility of misassigning key ID which would
change coded Key Memory functions.

/Central Locking and Anti-Theft
The General Module (GM) is connected to the FZV receiver
module (in left rear roof pillar) via K-Bus. Locking and unlock-
ing of doors, trunk or tailgate and convenience closing is car-
ried out by the GM subsystem controlling the door lock,
window and sunroof modules.
The accompanying schematic, Remote entry
(FZV) inputs
and outputs, illustrates the GM remote entry subsystem.

SCA operation
Three microswitches are used to operate trunk latching sys-
tem.
Microswitch mounted on lock cylinder. Pushing lock cylin-
der in will signal GM to activate actuator and open trunk.
Q Microswitch in actuator signals GM when trunlc has re-
leased. Actuator shuts off.
When closing trunk, third microswitch (on trunk latch) sig-
nals GM to activate actuator. Cam turns to pull lid closed.
Foroverload protection,
ON duration of actuator is limited to a
max.
5 seconds.
Emergency opening of trunk is provided by a mechanical link
from the lockcylinder.
If the trunlc has been opened by the
emergency release, it can be
reclosed as a conventional lid
with normal pressure.

The Sport Wagon tailgate can be opened from:
0 Remote lkey (FZV)
Interior tailgate release button at driver's lkick panel
