WHAT IS AN INTERLOCK?
An ignition interlock (also known as an IID or in-car breathalyzer) is a fuel-cell device installed in your car that tests your breath for alcohol before it allows the vehicle to start. Program lengths vary, and our customer support will be with you from start to finish.
Complete your Interlock program in 3 easy steps
Having an ignition interlock doesn’t need to be scary, complicated or confusing. Every program consists of 3 basic steps. LifeSafer is committed to making this process straightforward and easy.

What is an Ignition Interlock?
Ignition Interlock Devices
An ignition interlock device (IID) is a small handheld car breathalyzer device and measures the amount of alcohol in the user’s breath. Installing one is a common requirement following a drunk driving offense (DUI, DWI, DUI, OWI, or OVI).
In simplest terms, an interlock device is an in-car breathalyzer that prevents a user from starting a vehicle until a breath alcohol test is taken. An ignition interlock device is a proper term for devices sometimes referred to as “in-car breathalyzer” or “car interlock” or “blow and go”. LifeSafer is the premier provider of all these systems at low cost in almost 2,000 convenient locations, one that is likely near you. Ready to install? Fill our enrollment form and we’ll call you back right away.
How does an ignition interlock work?
If the IID registers the breath test results (BAC or Blood Alcohol Concentration) over the pre-set limit, the vehicle will not start. If the driver’s breath test is below the pre-set limit, the vehicle will start.
The interlock device needs to be serviced and calibrated at an authorized service center regularly. The length between these appointments is determined by state law but typically occurs every 30, 60, or 90 days.
How to install an ignition interlock device
Interlocks can vary in a few ways and the ignition interlock device you receive depends on the legal requirements set by the state you live in and the specifics of your DWI/DUI/OWI. Your interlock may come equipped with or without a camera, as well as real-time reporting or other additional features. LifeSafer is approved to provide car ignition interlock systems in Tennessee.

GET READY
Turn your key halfway to power up the device. If you have a push start vehicle, push the start button but DO NOT put your foot on the brake. Take a drink of water to rinse your mouth. Take a nice deep breath and prepare to take your test. You will have one minute to blow into the device.
BLOW
Relax and blow steadily into the device for 5 to 7 seconds. The device will emit a tone, indicating that you are doing the test correctly. You will hear a second beep and click to signal the sample is sufficient.
GO
Once you see the “PASS” message on your device, start your vehicle and get going. You will be prompted for random retests during your drive.
