Alcolock* - to bear in mind
The function of the Alcolock
5
is to prevent the
car from being driven by individuals under the
influence of alcohol.
In order to obtain correct function and as
accurate 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
Nozzle for breath test.
Switch.
Transmission button.
Lamp for battery status.
Lamp for result of breath test.
Lamp indicates ready for breath test.
In order to ensure that a new breath test is
carried 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
6
every 12 months.
30 days before recalibration is necessary the
combined instrument panel shows the mes-
sage
Alcoguard Calibr. required. If calibra-
tion is not carried out within these 30 days
then normal engine starting will be blocked -
only starting with the Bypass function will
then be possible, see the following heading
"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
reappears each time the engine is started -
only recalibration at a workshop
6
can clear
the message permanently.

Also called Alcoguard.

An authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
