GETTING STARTED
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
The RKE transmitter performs several remote functions and must be inside\
the vehicle to
operate the Volt.
Keyless Access
With the RKE transmitter within 3 ft. (1 m) of the door, press the button on the door handle to unlock the door. Press it again within 5 seconds to unlock all doors.
Key Release
Press the button on the side of the transmitter to remove the key, which can be used to unlock the driver’s door.
Unlock
Press to unlock the driver’s door. Press again to unlock all doors.
Press and hold to lower all windows from outside the vehicle.
To turn the window feature on/off, select Settings > Vehicle > Remote Lock, Unlock, Start > Remote Window Operation.
Lock
Press to lock all doors.

Remote Start
Press the Lock button and then press and hold the button until the turn signal lamps flash to start the vehicle and condition the passenger cabin temperature from outside. The heat-ing or air conditioning system and rear window defogger (if needed) will turn on. Depending on conditions and vehicle personalization settings, the engine may start.
After entering the vehicle, press the brake pedal and then press the POWER button before driving.
Note:
• Press and hold the Remote Start button until the parking lamps turn off to cancel a remote start.
• Only two remote starts are allowed between ignition cycles.
• It’s RECOMMENDED to use this feature when the vehicle is plugged in to allow energy from the wall outlet to assist in getting the cabin to a comfortable temperature and to leave more battery energy for driving.
Panic Alarm
Press and release to locate the vehicle.
Press and hold for 3 seconds to sound the panic alarm.
See Keys, Doors and Windows in your Owner’s Manual.

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 a Charge Cord Connected message will display if the vehicle is still plugged in.
When ON, the instrument cluster will display a green READY READY icon on the bottom of the screen. The engine will start only if needed.
STOPPING THE VEHICLE/OFF
Shift to Park and then press the POWER button. A power OFF audio cue will sound.
CONDITIONS FOR ENGINE STARTING
When vehicle power is ON, the engine may start independent of the vehicl\
e being plugged in or completely charged. Conditions that may cause the engine t\
o start include:
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 butto\
n 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.
STEERING WHEEL AND SEAT ADJUSTMENT
Before driving, adjust the steering wheel and seat to a comfortable posi\
tion.
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’s Manual.
• 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 10)
• Hood is open

EFFICIENCY
DRIVING STYLE
Your driving style plays a large role in the efficiency of the vehicle\
. Avoid rapid accel-eration or deceleration to help maximize energy efficiency and range. \
Electric range is maximized at 50 mph and below; higher speeds use more energy and signifi\
cantly reduce electric range.
EFFICIENCY GAUGE
Use the 5-way control to select an instrument cluster theme that displays the green ring or leaf indicator.
While driving, try to keep the ring green or the leaf in the center of the gauge. The ring will turn yellow or the leaf will move up or down during inefficient acceleration or aggressive braking, depending on the cluster theme.
DRIVER-SELECTED OPERATING MODES
Press the MODE button on the center console to scroll through a menu of operating modes for when more performance is needed. After 3 seconds, the highligh\
ted mode will become active.
Normal (Default) – Use in normal driving conditions for efficient operation; is active each time the vehicle is started.
Sport – Use for a sportier driving experi-ence; increases throttle response.
Mountain – Use when planning to drive in mountainous terrain (long grades of 5% or higher); reserves battery power to maintain higher speeds on steep grades.
Hold – Use to preserve electric range for later use. Range-extending oper\
ation will engage.
REGEN ON DEMAND™
Regen on Demand temporarily regenerates energy from the vehicle’s mom\
entum and stores it in the high voltage propulsion battery for later use.
To activate Regen on Demand, pull and hold the paddle on the back left s\
ide of the steering wheel without pressing the brake pedal or accelerator pedal.
While pulling the paddle, the vehicle will begin to decelerate using reg\
enerative braking. Regen on Demand is deactivated once the paddle is released or accelerator pedal is pressed.
Note: You should always use your brake pedal if you need to stop immediately.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.

FUELING
PARKING
FILLING THE FUEL TANK
1. Turn off the vehicle and press the
Fuel door release button, located on the driver’s door, for 1 second. The Wait to Refuel message will display on the instrument cluster.
2. When the Ready to Refuel message
displays, the fuel door on the passen-ger’s side of the vehicle will unlock. It will not open automatically.
3. Press the rear edge of the fuel door; it will pop open slightly. Open th\
e door to refuel the vehicle.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.
PEDESTRIAN SAFETY SIGNAL
The vehicle is equipped with an automatic sound generator. The sound is \
automatically generated at speeds below 20 mph to indicate the vehicle’s presence t\
o pedestrians.
ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE
To apply the parking brake, pull the PARK Parking Brake switch by the shift lever.
To release the parking brake, with the vehicle powered ON, press the bra\
ke pedal and press the PARK Parking Brake switch.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.
LOW GROUND CLEARANCE
The low ground clearance of the Volt aids in the aerodynamic efficiency of the vehicle. As a result, the flexible air deflector under the front fascia (bumper) may contact a parking block or curb if the vehicle is parked too closely. Use care when parking to avoid damage.
See Vehicle Care in your Owner’s Manual.
