Global Positioning
System (GPS)
The position of the vehicle is
determined by using satellite
signals, various vehicle signals,
and map data.
At times, other interferences such
as the satellite condition, road
configuration, the condition of the
vehicle, and/or other circumstances
can interfere with the navigation
system's ability to determine the
accurate position of the vehicle.
The GPS shows the current position
of the vehicle using signals sent by
the GPS Satellites of the United
States Department of Defense.

Black plate (75,1)Chevrolet Volt Owner Manual - 2011
Infotainment System 7-75
When the vehicle is not receiving
signals from the satellites, a symbol
appears on the map screen. See
Navigation Symbols on page 7‑47.
This system might not be available
or interferences can occur if any of
the following is true:
.Signals are obstructed by tall
buildings, trees, large trucks,
or a tunnel.
.Satellites are being repaired or
improved.
For more information if the GPS
is not functioning properly, see
“If the System Needs Service” and
“Problems with Route Guidance.”
Vehicle Positioning
At times, the position of the vehicle
on the map could be inaccurate
due to one or more of the following
reasons:
.The road system has changed.
.The vehicle is driving on slippery
road surfaces such as in sand,
gravel, and/or snow.
.The vehicle is traveling on
winding roads or long straight
roads.
.Approaching a tall building or a
large vehicle.
.The surface streets run parallel
to a freeway.
.The vehicle has been transferred
by a vehicle carrier or a ferry.
.The current position calibration
is set incorrectly.
.The vehicle is traveling at high
speed.
.The vehicle changes directions
more than once, or the vehicle
is turning on a turn table in a
parking lot.
.The vehicle is entering and/or
exiting a parking lot, garage,
or a lot with a roof.
.The GPS signal is not received.
.A roof carrier is installed on the
vehicle.
.Tire chains have been installed.
.The tires are replaced or worn.
.The tire pressure for the tires is
incorrect.
.This is the first navigation use
after the map data is updated.
.The 12-volt battery is
disconnected for several days.
.The vehicle is driving in heavy
traffic where driving is at low
speeds, and the vehicle is
stopped and started repeatedly.

Driving Information
Driving for Better Energy
Efficiency
Use the following tips to help
maximize energy efficiency
and range.
Driving Style
Efficiency Gauge
(Instrument Cluster)
The ball indicator should be kept
green and in the center of the
gauge.
Inefficient acceleration is indicated
when the ball turns yellow and
travels above the center of the
gauge.
Aggressive braking is indicated
when the ball turns yellow and
travels below the center of the
gauge. Acceleration/Braking/Coasting
Avoid unnecessary rapid
accelerations and decelerations.
Electric range is maximized at
80 km/h (50 mph) and below.
Higher speeds use more energy
and can significantly reduce
electric range.
Use cruise control when
appropriate.
Plan ahead for decelerations
and coast whenever possible.
For example, do not rush to
traffic signals.
Do not shift to N (Neutral) to coast.
The vehicle recovers energy while
coasting and braking in D (Drive)
or L (Low).
