GETTING STARTED

POWER Button

The Volt features an electronic push-button start. The POWER button flashes when the

driver’s door is opened upon entry. Once the vehicle is ON, the button illuminates.

Note: The air conditioning compressor, pumps and fan may run at any time, even when the vehicle is

OFF, to cool or warm the propulsion battery.

Conditions for the Engine Starting

When vehicle power is ON, the engine may start independent of the vehicle being plugged

in or completely charged. Conditions that may cause the engine to start include:

Starting the Vehicle/ON

With the vehicle in Park or Neutral, press the

brake pedal and then press the POWER

button. A power ON audio cue will sound.

The vehicle will not shift out of Park and will

display a Charge Cord Connected message

if the vehicle is still plugged in.

When ON, the instrument cluster will display an

active battery or fuel gauge. The engine will only

start if needed.

Stopping the Vehicle/OFF

Shift to Park and then press the POWER

button. A power OFF audio cue will sound.

• Propulsion battery charge is low

• Propulsion battery temperature is hot or cold

• Cold ambient temperatures (depending on

engine-assisted heating options; see Vehicle

Personalization on page 11)

• Hood is open

• Engine and Fuel Maintenance

Modes (occur only if the engine has

had very limited operation over a

long period)

See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.

Seat and Steering Wheel Adjustment

Before driving, adjust the seat and steering wheel to a comfortable position.

Pull down the lever (A) to unlock the steering

wheel and adjust its position.

Lift the handle (B) under the right-front side of

the seat to slide the seat forward or rearward.

Ratchet the side lever (C) up or down to raise

or lower the seat.

Lift the rear lever (D) to adjust the seatback.

See Seats and Restraints in your Owner Manual.

ELECTRIC AND EXTENDED-RANGE MODES

Volt is an electric vehicle with extended range capability. Plug it in, let it charge overnight,

and it's ready to run on a pure electric charge — gas- and tailpipe emissions-free. After

that, Volt keeps going, even if you can’t plug it in. Volt uses a range-extending gas engine

that produces enough energy to power it for hundreds of miles on a single tank of gas.

Electric Mode

In Electric Mode, the Volt will not use gasoline or produce tailpipe emissions. During this

primary mode, the Volt is powered by electrical energy stored in its propulsion battery.

It can operate in this mode until the battery is depleted to a predetermined level.

Extended-Range Mode

Once the initial electric charge is depleted, the range-extending gas engine will start to

generate enough power to continue driving the vehicle. The engine ensures that you will

not be stranded by a depleted battery. The vehicle determines when the engine needs to

run. Engine speed will vary, depending on driving conditions, to optimize efficiency. The

engine will not fully charge the propulsion battery. The vehicle must be plugged in to

recharge.

Total Vehicle Range

The Total Range indicator displays the

total distance that can be driven, based on

the combined electric and extended range,

before recharging or refueling the vehicle.

The displayed electric and fuel ranges

are projections based on past vehicle

performance and charge/fuel level. The

displayed ranges will change based on

current driving style and climate settings.

See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

The instrument cluster features a reconfigurable 7-inch LCD screen that displays a variety

of operating information.

The Simple Configuration displays basic information for Electric Mode and Extended-

Range Mode operation.

The Enhanced Configuration displays an additional driver efficiency gauge.

Driver Information Center

Use the Driver Information Center controls on the left side of the instrument panel to

change the instrument cluster display and access the menus.

EFFICIENCY

Driving Style

Your driving style plays a large role in the efficiency of the vehicle. Avoid rapid acceleration

or deceleration to help maximize energy efficiency and range. Electric range is maximized at

50 mph and below; higher speeds use more energy and significantly reduce range.

Press the CONFIG button to select

the Enhanced Configuration of the

instrument cluster to display the

efficiency gauge.

While driving, try to keep the spinning ball

in the Efficiency Gauge green and in the

center of the gauge. The ball will turn yel-

low and move up or down during inefficient

acceleration or aggressive braking. The

ball stops spinning when the vehicle stops.

Efficiency Gauge

Driver-Selected Operating Modes

Press the DRIVE MODE button on the center stack to scroll through a menu of operating

modes when more performance is needed. After three seconds, the highlighted mode will

become active. At the next start, the vehicle will default to Normal mode.

Normal (Default)

Use when possible in normal driving

conditions for efficient operation; is active

each time the vehicle is started.

Sport

Use when more responsive acceleration is

desired; may reduce efficiency.

Mountain

Engage prior to entering mountainous

terrain (long grades of 5% or higher);

reduces efficiency but provides power to

maintain higher speeds on steep grades.

Climate Settings

Optimal efficiency is achieved with the heat, air conditioning and fan turned off.

If using the climate mode settings, the most efficient operation is in the following order:

• FAN ONLY – electric cabin heating/cooling is off

• ECO – limits cabin heating/cooling to balance comfort with energy use

• COMFORT – provides the most cabin heating/cooling but uses the most energy

Use the heated seats (if equipped) to reduce the demand on the cabin heating system.

Heating the seats uses less energy than heating the vehicle interior.

See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.

EFFICIENCY

Center Stack Information Displays

The center stack touch screen displays Power Flow, Charging and Energy Information.

Press the Leaf button on the center

stack and then touch the desired tab at

the top of the screen to display the

desired information.

Power Flow

The Power Flow screens show the power

flow between the propulsion battery, elec-

tric drive unit and engine. Each component

is highlighted when it is active.

Charging

The Charging screens show the charge

mode status. The vehicle has three

programmable charge modes:

• Immediately upon plug-in

• Delayed based on departure time

• Delayed based on electric rates and

departure time

The charge level can be programmed

using the Change Charge Level screen

button (late availability). Charge Complete

times are estimates and most accurate at

moderate temperatures.

Energy Information

The Energy Info screens show the energy

use (Electric Mode and Extended-Range

Mode) since the last time the vehicle was

fully recharged, energy efficiency over the

last drive cycle, and efficiency tips to

improve energy use.
