Central Locking and Anti-Theft
Interior sensor UIS (2000 and later models)
The
UIS system uses ultrasonic sound waves instead of elec-
tromagnetic waves. Ultrasonic sound waves are less suscep-
tible to magnetic interference.
Every time the DWA system is armed, the sensor adapts to
whatever objects might be stationary in the interior. The sen-
sor emits ultrasonic waves in a programmed timed cycle. It re-
ceives echoes of the emitted waves. The
UIS amplifies the
received sound wave signals and compares them to the ech-
oes of the transmitted waves. The
UIS also checits the incom-
ing echoes for background hiss (wind noise through a
partially open window) and adapts for this.
If the echoes are consistently similar, no movement is de-
tected.
If the echoes are altered, (inconsistent), the UIS deter-
mines motion in the interior compartment.
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 acti-
vate siren signal to the GM.
Glass breakage sensors
The doorwindows are monitored by inductive sensors mount-
ed on the inside of the door behind the trim panel. A closed
window is recognized by a magnetic plate
on the glass lining
up with the sensor. If the glass is broken, the plate falls away
and the signal from the sensor changes. This causes the GM
to activate the alarm.
Emergency disarming
- An emergency procedure is provided to cancel the DWA in
the event that a fault occurs within the system. The procedure
is as follows:
Driver's door mechanically
unloclted and open within 30
seconds. This will cause triggering of alarm.
All doors closed.
Ignition switch turned to
KL R (ACCESSORY). LED indica-
tor will come on.
- After 10 minutes, alarm is disarmed
