FAQs

What is the fail test for LifeSafer? ›

What happens if I fail a breath test? If you fail a breath test, the interlock will enter a temporary lockout period for the first failed BAC test. This lockout time is set by state regulation. If you fail the re-tests, your car may lock out for a longer period or need a reset and tow, depending on state law.

Lockout Override Code:

You must call LifeSafer at 1-800-634-3077 for the code.
