TAKING A BREATH TEST
At the "Ready for Test - PLEASE BLOW" prompt, take a few normal, even breaths, then….
• Take a deep breath and put your lips around the mouthpiece.
• Provide a steady blow into the mouthpiece (exhaling normally).
• As you blow into the Interlock, the buzzer will sound.
This means you are blowing correctly, so DON’T STOP.
• When the buzzer sound stops (you may hear a "click") , give an immediate short, sharp
suck back.
• Do not pause between the blow and the suck back.
The Interlock will display "Test Passed" or "TEST FAILED" if the blow pattern was correct.
TEST PASSED: If little or no alcohol is detected in the breath test, the message "Test Passed"
will appear (Figure 3). The vehicle will now start.
TEST FAILED: If alcohol is detected in the breath sample, the message "TEST FAILED" will
appear (Figure 4). The vehicle will not start.
NOTE:
You have at least a minute to start the vehicle after passing a breath test. If you
do not start the vehicle within this free start time, you must pass another test. The free start time
remaining to start the vehicle is displayed on the handset.
Do not disconnect the handset while you are driving the vehicle or while the engine is on;
this action is a violation!
DO NOT smoke
during a breath test.
Keep the handset at least
12" from radio, cell phone
or pager.

NOTE:
If you turn the vehicle's key to the "ON" position just to get enough
power to roll up your window (with no plan to drive) and you see
"PLEASE BLOW", you do not need to take the test. Simply turn key
to the "OFF" position. The initial test will be aborted.
