RETESTING WHILE DRIVING
Retests are required at random intervals. They are
announced by an acoustic signal and a message
on the display. The blue LED light is an additional
indicator. Once the device starts to beep and the
text “Retest Please blow.” appears on the display,
you should do the following:
1. Stop your vehicle safely and with running engine.
Do not worry – you have enough time to take the
breath test. The Interlock 7000 will remind you
several times of the retest.
2. Take the breath test while the engine is running.
3. Take a deep breath and blow into the mouthpiece
of the handset. This is the same process as with
the initial test.
4. You can continue driving as soon as the LED
lights up green and the text “Test OK” appears
on the display.
When failing the retest, the LED lights up red
and “Test not OK” appears on the display. This
is considered an irregularity and logged in the
memory of the control unit. The Interlock
programme determines what is considered an
irregularity and what will be the consequences.
IRREGULARITIES
Certain events are defined as irregularities in every
Interlock programme. This may include the refusal
to take the retest. A shorter service period is the
result of an irregularity. A request to visit the service
shop within the next few days appears in the display.
Failure to do so will result in a permanent block
being applied, and the vehicle cannot be started
anymore.
