08 Starting and driving
Please wait for 1 minute and then
Alcoguard Bypass enabled - after
which the engine can be started.
Calibration and service
The alcohol lock must be checked and cali-
brated at a workshop1 every 12 months.
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
car.
This function can be activated several times.
The error message shown during driving can
only be cleared at a workshop1.
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".
NOTE
Activating the Emergency function
All Bypass activation is logged and saved
in memory, see Recording data (p. 20).
Depress and hold the left-hand stalk
•
switch OK button and the button for haz-
ard warning flashers simultaneously for
approx. 5 seconds - the combined instru-
ment panel shows Alcoguard Bypass
enabled and the engine can be started.
After the Bypass function has been activated
the combined instrument panel shows
Alcoguard Bypass enabled the whole time
while driving and can only be reset by a work-
shop1.
The message can be cleared by pressing the
send button (3) once. Otherwise it extin-
guishes on its own after approx. 2 minutes
but then reappears each time the engine is
started - only recalibration at a workshop1
can clear the message permanently.
This function can be used once, after which a
reset must be made at a workshop1.
The Bypass function can be tested without
the error message being logged - in which
case, carry out all the steps without starting
the car. The error message is cleared when
the car is locked.
