How to Start Your Vehicle
Video Transcript
Intoxalock ignition interlock devices are extremely easy to use once you get the hang of them.
When you're ready to start your vehicle make sure to blow into the device before putting your keys into the ignition.
Simply press the button and wait for the screen to read "blow." Blow into the mouthpiece on the device with medium intensity. Without moving your lips from the mouthpiece, inhale through the mouthpiece like you're sucking through a straw and immediately blow into the device again until you feel a vibration. If the screen on your device reads "start car," you can insert your keys into the ignition and start your vehicle.
If your startup sample reads "failed," we recommend rinsing your mouth out with water and waiting 10 to 15 minutes before trying again.
Once your trip has ended and you're ready to leave your vehicle, turn the vehicle off and check the screen for a countdown. You can exit your vehicle when a 2 to 3 minute countdown appears on the handheld screen. During this countdown, you can restart your vehicle without providing an additional sample.
If you leave your vehicle prior to the countdown appearing, you are at risk for missing a random retest.
