INTERIOR PROTECTION (UIS)
The UIS monitors the vehicle interior for motion through ultrasonic sound waves. The UIS
is a combined transmitter and receiver.
The X5 UIS sensor is incorporated into the
rear seat interior light trim cover. It is a two
piece unit with cable connection to the rear
transmitter/receiver.
The UIS and trim panel are clearly identified
with arrows indicating forward mounting
direction.
Due to the design of the vehicles interior,
the sensor is uni-directional and must be
installed in the proper direction to ensure
proper operation of the system (trim cover
ensures directional installation).
Every time the DWA system is armed (signal STDWA), the sensor adapts to what ever
objects might be stationary in the interior.
The sensor emits ultra sonic waves in a pro-
grammed timed cycle. It receives echos of
the emitted waves.
The UIS amplifies the received sound wave
signals and compares them with the trans-
mitted waves. The UIS also checks the
incoming echos for background hiss (wind
noise through a partially open window) and
adapts for this.
• If the echos are consistently similar, no movement is detected,
• If the echos are altered, (inconsistent), the UIS determines motion in the interior com-
partment.
If motion is detected, the UIS changes to a constant cycle and the echo is compared again.
If the inconsistency is still present the UIS sends the activate siren signal (INRS) to the GM.
As with the tilt sensor, the UIS is also switched OFF when the vehicle is locked two times
within ten seconds. This allows the sensor to be switched OFF for transportation purpos-
es.

ALARM SIREN
The siren is located in the vehicle cowl
on the driver’s side of the vehicle. This
location provides a secure position with
loud acoustic output.
The siren contains electronic circuitry
for producing the warning tone when
the alarm is triggered. The siren also
contains a rechargeable battery that is
used to power the siren when the alarm
is triggered.
The rechargeable battery will allow the siren to sound if it or the
vehicle’s battery is dis-connected. The siren battery is recharged,
from the vehicle’s battery when DWA is not in the armed state.
The siren has four wires connecting it to the system; KL 30, KL 31,
Signal STDWA (arm/disarm signal from GM), and Signal NG (acti-
vate siren output signal to the GM)
The arm/disarm output signal from the GM (STDWA) is provided to the Tilt sensor, FIS sen-
sor and the siren simultaneously. The arm/disarm signal is a switched ground that signals
the components of DWA armed/disarmed status.
The activate siren signal (NG) is high whether DWA is armed or disarmed. If a monitored
input activates the alarm, the high signal to the siren is switched to a 50% duty cycle at
the GM. The control circuitry in the siren activates the siren driver. If the DWA is armed
and the battery is disconnected the siren recognizes the normally high “NG” signal as sud-
denly going low, the siren is also activated.

DWA ARMING/DISARMING
• The DWA is armed every time the vehicle is locked from the outside with the door lock
cylinder or FZV key.
• The LED in the rear view mirror flashes as an acknowledgment along with the exterior
lights and a momentary chirp from the siren.
• The GM monitors all required input signals for closed status (door closed, tailgate
closed, etc.) The inputs must be in a closed status for a minimum of 3 seconds for the
GM to include them as an activation component. If after 3 seconds any input signal not
in the closed status is excluded (this is acknowledged by the DWA LED) preventing false
alarm activation's.
• If the DWA is armed a second time within 10 seconds, the tilt sensor and interior pro-
tection sensor are also excluded as alarm activation components. This function is use-
ful if the vehicle is transported on a train or flat bed truck to prevent false alarm activa-
tion's.
• While armed the tailgate can be opened with out the alarm being triggered as follows:
- If opened with the tailgate remote button via the FZV, the GM prevents the alarm
from activating. (This feature is customizable under the Car Memory function).
- If opened with the key at the tailgate lock cylinder the tailgate key position switch
signals the GM and in the same manner prevents the alarm from activating.
In either case, when the tailgate is returned to the closed position, it is no longer con-
sidered as an activation signal.
Panic Mode Operation: When the tailgate button is pressed and held, the GM is signaled
to activate the siren for the Panic Mode. The panic mode will function with either an armed
or disarmed DWA system.
EMERGENCY DISARMING
Emergency disarming occurs automatically if a key is used to turn the ignition switch on and
the EWS III accepts it. The EWS III signals the GM to unlock the doors and deactivate the
DWA.

ALARM INDICATION
When the alarm is triggered, the siren will sound for 30 seconds. At the same time the low
beam headlights and four way flashers will flash for 5 minutes. The GM signals the the LCM
III via the K bus -- I bus to flash the lights.
Following an alarm trigger, the system will reset and trigger again if further tampering is
done to the vehicle.
