DWA Arming/Disarming: Notes

• The DWA is armed every time the vehicle is locked from the outside with the door lock cylinder or FZV key.
• The DWA LED 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, luggage compartment 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 activations. The hood switch can be "lifted" to the service position to test the alarm with the hood open.
• If the DWA is armed a second time within 10 seconds, the tilt sensor and interior protection sensor are excluded as alarm activation components. This function is useful if the vehicle is transported on a train or flat bed truck to prevent false alarm activations.
• While armed, the trunk can be opened with out the alarm being triggered as follows:
  • If opened with the trunk 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 trunk lock cylinder the trunk key position switch signals the GM and in the same manner prevents the alarm from activating.

In either case, when the trunk is returned to the closed position, it is no longer considered as an activation signal.
