Section 15 Do’s and Don’t of your Interlock Program
•
Do
contact your Service Provider’s emergency service if the vehicle must be used by
untrained persons in an emergency situation or if the emergency has caused you to be
unable to successfully complete the test.
•
Do
leave your phone number that you can be reached at in the next 20 minutes when
contacting emergency service after hours. Call emergency service back if you are not
contacted within 20 minutes.
•
Do
look for safe, lighted areas - away from traffic flow – if you are stopping for a running test.
•
Do
keep the User Manual, next appointment date and emergency number in your vehicle at
all times.
•
Do
review the User Manual periodically.
•
Don’t
leave the ignition switch “ON” without starting the vehicle.
•
Don’t
attempt to “hot wire,” “cross-ground,” or “roll start” your vehicle in an attempt to
CIRCUMVENT the Ignition Interlock. The Interlock will record such actions and may go into
IMMEDIATE RECALL and PERMANENT LOCKOUT. The charging system of your vehicle
may be damaged. License revocation is probable.
•
Don’t
allow mechanical work that might require vehicle startup in your absence without
providing your Service Provider’s toll-free number to the service technician. Instruct all
involved that your Service Provider must be contacted BEFORE any related wiring is
detached and / or a service CIRCUMVENTION is attempted.
•
Don’t
avoid a monitoring appointment because of financial difficulty. Call your Service
Provider to make special payment arrangements.
Your appointments must be kept.
•
Don’t
disconnect any wiring that might be related and / or connected to the Ignition Interlock
in any way. Call your Service Provider before disconnecting anything if there is any doubt.
•
Don’t
allow anyone who might have alcohol content on their breath to attempt a test “just for
fun.” All alcohol readings are assumed to belong to the participant.
•
Don’t
allow anyone to drive the vehicle if you are not willing to accept responsibility for any
alcohol readings that might result.
