The ignition interlock is normally very reliable, and as a rule, will not develop any major defects under normal user conditions. Most often, any difficulties you encounter can be solved quickly by a short phone call to the toll free emergency number. But before you call the emergency number, please be sure and go through this simple checklist:

Before taking the test:

1. Remember that the interlock can fail you for any amount of alcohol you may have consumed within the past 24 hours. If you are failing for alcohol, you will not be able to start your vehicle until the PASS level has been reached.

2. Consider any substances that you might have consumed that contain alcohol or ethanol derivatives. Mouthwash, some marinated foods, enclosed vegetables that may have lightly fermented, cold and cough medicines, some inhalants, even cakes and pies can contain small amounts of alcohol. Make sure that you're giving the interlock a clean test.
