At the time of introduction the system was referred to as Electronic Drive Away Protection which in German is Electronische WegfahrSperre or EWS.
The EWS I system consisted of the following components:

• Door Lock Cylinders and Switch
• General Module
• Board Computer (if equipped)

• DME Engine Speed Signal (Beginning 6/94 Production)
