Communication With The Vehicle

A test result can be sent from the Alcohol Analyzing Start Inhibitor within a radius of 10 meters from the vehicle. The result from the breath sample is stored in the Alcohol Analyzing Start Inhibitor for 30 seconds and can be sent again via the send button on the handheld unit. The Alcohol Analyzing Start Inhibitor, however, cannot receive messages from the vehicle, so it cannot know, for example, whether the driver has used the BYPASS function. The vehicle cannot be unlocked using the Alcohol Analyzing Start Inhibitor.

The Alcohol Analyzing Start Inhibitor can send the following types of messages to the vehicle: 

1. Help messages to the driver (Blow harder, Blow softer, Blow for 5 seconds...)
2. The test results (Approved test, Non-approved test)
3. Error messages and status (Invalid test, Service required, Calibration required)

Communication with the vehicle does not work in all key positions. If, for example, the vehicle is attempted to be started without an approved test result, a message appears stating to switch off the ignition in the Driver information module (DIM).

In the V70 remove the key from the ignition WITHOUT pressing any of the pedals.
