You have time to pull over safely and provide a breath sample. The
technique involved in taking a retest is the same as a test prior to starting
the vehicle.
NOTE: Retests will be required at random times whenever the motor
is running. If a retest request does occur, the driver must properly complete
a test, otherwise a recorded program violation may occur.
7.1 Failed Retest
If a BAC result occurs during a retest an alarm will sound and a "Wait"
message will display with a countdown. At this point turn off the car.
When you attempt to restart your vehicle the interlock will prompt for an
initial test. If a BAC result occurs your interlock will go into a lockout.
NOTE: Do not attempt another breath test until you are sure your
alcohol level is below the fail limit. A second or subsequent failed test may
result in a longer lockout period (approximately 30 minutes).
A "Violation Lockout" countdown may be triggered when a failed retest is
recorded during a monitor period. The recall will provide a 7 day
countdown timer for the vehicle to be returned to the Service Centre. The
head unit will display the final date that the vehicle can be driven before
entering Violation Lockout.
A Lockout is a recorded program violation and will mean that the vehicle
will need to have an Unlock code issued by Guardian Head Office (fees
apply) or be towed to the Service Centre at the participant's expense.
Codes are only available during business hours.
7.2 Retest Not Taken
If a retest is not taken and passed within 5-10 minutes after a retest is
requested, the interlock will enter a "Missed Test" condition. The alarm
horn will sound, and hazard lights will flash and the interlock will display
a "Missed Test" message. To stop the alarm, you may either provide a
breath test, or turn the ignition off until the alarm stops.
NOTE: If your vehicle is camera equipped the camera will take a
photo of the driver when a Missed Test is recorded.
