Battery safety terminal
(BST)
4 Starting with 1999 models (9198 production and later), a py-
rotechnic (explosive charge) device automatically discon-
nects the battery positive terminal during impacts. Key
features,
like power windows and door locks, remain opera-
tional.
Security
Electronic immobilization (EWS)
Ignition key transponder signal All
E39 vehicles incorporate an electronic immobilization sys-
tem known as EWS. This svstem uses a wireless comrnuni-
cation link between a transponder chip in the ignition key and
the ring antenna surrounding the ignition switch. The EWS
control module blocks the starting of the vehicle unless the
correct coded ignition key is used.
NOTE-
Electronic immobilization is sometimes referred to as the
driveaway protection system.
Antitheft alarm (DWA)
This is adealer-installed option for which the E39 vehicles are
factory-wired. When armed, the system monitors door
loci(
contacts and trunk and engine hood locks and sounds a siren
if it detects tampering.
E39 interiors have a unique character, with a combination
of
sporty features and innovativedesign. All body versions were
made in a wide choice of interior and exterior colors. New col-
ors with matching leather or leatherette upholstery were intro-
duced for each model year.
Driving
comfort is enhanced by power steering, tilt steering
wheel, height-adjustable front seats, and electrically adjust-
able and heated rear-view mirrors. Inside the car there are
reading lights at four seating positions.

Door Windows
Window switches
4 The push type window switch provides the GM Ill with a cod-
ed ground signal. Holding a switch at the first detent provides
a single ground signal on one wire requesting the GM
Ill to
open the window. When released, the ground signal is re-
moved and the window motor stops.
- Momentarily pushing the switch to the second detent and re-
leasing provides an additional ground signal on the second
wire requesting "one touch mode". The GM
Ill lowers the win-
dow automatically until it reaches the end position. Each win-
dow has four positions, two each for the standard mode of
operation and two for the one-touch mode. All window oper-
ation signals are digital inputs to the door modules and GM
111.
- The switch functions in the same manner for window closing
but the ground signal sequence is reversed.
4 Window switch positions.
1. Off
2. Open
3. One touch open
4. Close
5. One touch close
Rear window child lockout switch
4 The rear window child lockout switch (arrow) is incorporated
in the driver's window switch block in
leit front door arm rest.
When activated, it provides a constant ground signal to the
GM
Ill, preventing the windows from being operated from the
rear door switches.
- The lockout switch ground signal is overridden by the GM Ill
if a passive safety system (MRS) crash signal is received.

I Door Windows
/ Anti-trap strip
Power window motors
The window motors are mounted on cable regulators. The
window motor control circuit consists of two wires for operat-
ing the motor in both directions.
The motors are activated by relays in the GM
Ill. The relays
provide either power or ground depending on the direction of
window travel. The GM
Ill controls the polarity based on a re-
quest to run the window from a window switch or a conve-
nience
openinglclosing signal.
Convenience openinglclosing
The GM Iii provides the convenience openlclose feature, pro-
viding control of the power windows (and sunroof) from out-
side the vehicle with the key in the driver's door lock. The FZV
(remote key) provides the same function for window opening
only.
Anti-trap protection is active during convenience closing from
the driver's door lock.
If the GM receives a request to operate convenience closing
or opening for more than
110 seconds, the function is deacti-
vated and a
fault code is stored.
Window anti-trap protection
4 A rubber pressure guard is located at the top edge of each
door frame. It consists of two contact strips that close when
subjected to pressure. When the contact strip closes (for ex-
ample, a hand is trapped between the top of the window and
the door frame), an anti-trap signal is sent to the GM
Ill. The
window immediately (within
10 milliseconds) reverses direc-
tion. This feature does not require
initialization.
The E39 pressure sensor finger guard has a resistance of 3
Kw and it is monitored for open circuits. When pressed, the
monitored resistance changes to
< 1 Kw. if anti-trap protection
becomes faulty the one touch window closing will not func-
tion.
Window anti-trap protection is
only active in the one touch
and convenience close modes of operation. If the window
switch is pulled and held, anti-trap protection will not function.
The anti-trap contact strip has a resistance of
1.2 K Ohm and
it is monitored for open circuits. Faults with the anti-trap sys-
tem will cancel the one touch feature requiring the window
switch be held to close the window.

Window anti-trap strip, testing
- To test function of anti-trap strip on any window:
With key
ON and window down, pull up window switch to
second detent, thus activating one-touch close operation.
Insert wooden block or other soft object between glass
and upper door frame.
Window should contact block, then immediately reverse
direction and lower by approximately
25 mm (1 in).
NOTE-
Anti-trap strip is integrated into the molding strip of the door
window frame.
