Purpose of the System

The anti-theft warning system (DWA) monitors the contacts on the doors, tailgate and bonnet as well as the status of the ignition switch terminals, tilt sensor and the interior protection.

The DWA system is controlled by the Body Control Module (BC1), which like the auxiliary powered siren is installed in a place that is difficult to access, this prevents interference with alarm operation.
