- Nearly 250,000 accidents occur in the United States per year due to low tire pressure.
- About 75 % of roadside flats are preceded by a slow leak or under inflation.
- According to a recent survey, America could reduce its fuel consumption by 10 % and save a collective $2 billion a year by keeping tires properly inflated.
- NHTSA estimates that tire pressure monitoring systems could prevent as many as 79 deaths and 10,365 injuries each year in the United States.

Engine oil is what lubricates a car’s engine, allowing it to run smoothly and last longer.Car owners must maintain a car’s engine by changing the oil and using the oil appropriate for their cars make and model. Every car comes with a “check oil” light and an oil filler under the hood. These components allow car owners to monitor their oil levels and add oil as needed, without having to hire a mechanic.
| AMS2000 Features | |||
| Auto Calibration — Three alcohol samples are delivered to the unit, from which the device auto calibrates, eliminating the need for the service center to manually adjust device calibration. | |||
| Hum Tone — Requires the participant to hum into the device before taking the breath test. This helps thwart bogus air samples. | |||
| Blow/Inhale — Requires the participant to blow into the device and inhale before taking the breath test. This technique helps thwart bogus air samples. | |||
| On-Board Data Logger — A computer that records every interaction a participant has with his or her vehicle. Recorded interactions include activity, time, date, and BrAC level. The computer can store more than 12,000 separate events and display the content in a summary or detailed format. | |||
| Memo Minder — A service calendar that uses audio and visual reminders to count the days between required scheduled appointments. If the participant misses his or her appointment, the service calendar disables the interlock device, preventing the car from starting. | |||
| Circumvention Alarm — If the interlock device detects a bypass, or detects a failed rolling retest, the circumvention alarm will trigger the vehicle's horn until the vehicle is turned off. | |||
| Rolling Retest — As a follow up to the initial breath test, this is the device's primary defense against circumvention. The test can be set to occur at fixed or random intervals. If a participant fails the test, the circumvention alarm will sound. | |||
| Bypass Detection — An instrument that detects whether the vehicle is running. If a car is running, but the participant has not yet taken a breath test, the circumvention alarm will sound. The interlock device then enters a lockout state for a predetermined period. | |||
| Power Interrupt — A record of when the vehicle's power has been disconnected or interrupted. This may occur if the participant tampers with the battery, repairs the battery, or replaces the battery. Participants are required to provide documentation of repairs. | |||
| Violations Reset — A function that contains features from the Data Logger and the Memo Minder. If the device detects a violation from one of these features, it will automatically reset the Memo Minder, requiring the participant to come in for early service. | |||
| Emergency Restart — In case of a vehicle stall, this feature allows the vehicle an emergency restart within one minute of shutdown. | |||
| Variable Driving Privilege (VDP) — This feature can restrict an offender's driving abilities. It can be programmed to accept tests only during predetermined periods of the day. | |||
| Coordinated Breath Pulse Access (CBPA)— A series of pauses and breaths that must be completed after the initial breath test. This is an advanced method for identifying a bogus air sample. | |||
| AMS2000' Advanced Features | |||
Compact Design Slightly larger than a standard cell phone Easy-to-hold hand set Compact size for space-restricted areas | |||
Accurate Readings
| |||
Convenience Easy-connect USB capability allows for effortless downloading of events,without having to connect the base unit in the vehicle. A clear service reminder displays the number of days until service each time the interlock is turned on. | |||
| Service Full training is provided to the participant upon each installation. Additionally, participants may call a toll-free number to access technical and service personnel. |

The master cylinder, the heart of the vehicles braking system, holds the brake fluid when it is not being delivered to the brakes through the brake lines. If brake fluid leaks because the master cylinder is worn or brake lines are plugged or broken, the fluid cannot be delivered and the brake pads will become ruined.
