Alcohol Lock* - To Bear In Mind - Volvo V60 Owner's Manual

08 Starting and driving

Alcohol lock* - to bear in mind

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
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 alcohol lock must be checked and cali-
brated at a workshop 1 every 12 months.
30 days before recalibration is necessary the
combined instrument panel shows the mes-
sage Alcoguard Calibration required See
manual
. If calibration 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 follow-
ing heading "Emergency situation".

An authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.

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
the message permanently.
Cold or hot weather
The colder the weather the longer it takes
before the alcohol lock is ready for use:
Temperature (ºC) Maximum heat-
ing time (sec-
onds)
+10 to +85
-5 to +10
-40 to -5
At temperatures below -20 ºC or above
+60 ºC the alcohol lock requires additional
power supply. The combined instrument
Alcoguard Please insert
panel shows
power cable
. In which case, connect the
power supply cable from the glovebox and
wait until indicator lamp (6) is green.
In extremely cold weather the heating time
can be reduced by taking the alcohol lock
indoors.
Emergency situation
In the event of an emergency situation or the
alcohol lock is out of order, it is possible to
bypass the alcohol lock in order to drive the
