Smart Start works to keep you
safe and compliant

• Smart Start installs a breath alcohol analyzer on your vehicle that is electronically connected to the ignition.
• When you breathe into the unit for several seconds, it measures your breath alcohol level and compares it to predetermined limits. If your breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) is over the authorized limit, your vehicle will not start.
• If your BrAC is within the allowable range, you’re on your way.
• As you are driving, you will be required to take periodic “rolling tests.”

From time to time, you will be required to take your vehicle to a local Smart Start service center. Our certified technicians will service the interlock device and schedule your next appointment. You’ll also make your initial lease payment at this time.

Smart Start produces potentially life-saving results

Evidence collected over the last ten years by at least eight research groups in the U.S. and Canada indicates a 40% to 95% reduction in repeat DWI/DUI offenses by offenders while using interlocks. Because DWI/DUI is a strong predictor of crash involvement and death rates, reducing instances of it can impact overall public safety.
