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.

SLEEP MODE
To lower the constant battery draw when the vehicle is parked, The complete ZKE system
will  go  into  the  “Sleep  Mode”  16  minutes  after  the  ignition  has  been  switched  off  and  no
further ZKE function is active. 
Approximate X5 Battery draw:       • Ignition switch off = approx 750 mA.
• One minute after = approx. 560 mA.
•  After 16 minutes (sleep mode) = approx. 18 mA.
All modules in the ZKE system will go into the sleep mode. The P-Bus remains active, how-
ever no data transfer takes place until a wake-up request is received. The general module,
door  modules  or  keyless  remote  module  can  wake  the  system  up  and  put  the  ZKE  back
on  line.    The  K-Bus  is  not  active  in  the  sleep  mode,  however  the  GM  III  of  Remote  Entry
Module can put the K-Bus back on-line with a wake-up request.
SLEEP MODE CRITERIA: KL R, 15 OFF and no further function activated for 16 minutes.
WAKE UP CRITERIA: KL R or 15 “ON” or a change in one of the signal states listed below.
