NOTE
After a completed period of driving, the
engine can be restarted within 30 minutes
without a new breath test.
To bear in mind
Before the breath test
In order to obtain correct function and as accu-
rate a measurement result as possible:
•
Avoid eating or drinking approx.
5 minutes before the breath test.
•
Avoid excess windscreen washing - the
alcohol in the washer fluid may result in an
incorrect measurement result.
Change of driver
In order to ensure that a new breath test is car-
ried out in the event of a change of driver -
depress the switch (2) and the send button (3)
simultaneously for approx. 3 seconds. At
which point the car returns to start inhibition
mode and a new approved breath test is
required before starting the engine.
Calibration and service
The Alcolock must be checked and calibrated
at a workshop
1
every 12 months.
30 days before recalibration is necessary the
display shows
Alcoguard Calibr. required
. If
calibration is not carried out within these 30
days then normal engine starting will be
blocked - only starting with the Bypass func-
tion will then be possible, see page 99 sec-
tion Emergency situation.
The message can be cleared by pressing the
send button (3) once. Otherwise it goes out on
its own after approx. 2 minutes but then reap-
pears each time the engine is started - only
recalibration at a workshop
1
can clear the mes-
sage permanently.
Cold or hot weather
The colder the weather the longer it takes
before the Alcolock is ready for use:
Temperature (ºC) Maximum heat-
ing time (sec-
onds)
+10 — +85 10
–5 — +10 60
–40 — –5 180
At temperatures below -20 ºC or above
+60 ºC the Alcolock requires additional power
supply. The display shows
Alcoguard insert
power cable . In which case, connect the
power supply cable from the glovebox and wait
until indicator lamp (6) is green.
1 An authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
