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
• Engine and Fuel Maintenance Modes (occur only if the engine has had very limited operation over a long period)

ELECTRIC AND EXTENDED-RANGE MODES
The Volt is an electric vehicle with extended range capability. Plug it \
in, let it charge and it’s ready to run on pure electricity — gas- and tailpipe emission\
s-free. After that, the Volt keeps going, even if you can’t plug it in. The Volt uses a range\
-extending gas engine that produces enough energy to power it for hundreds of miles on a singl\
e tank of gas.
ELECTRIC MODE
In Electric Mode, the vehicle will not use gasoline or produce tailpipe emissions unless in extreme temperatures. During this primary mode, the vehicle 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. The propulsion battery gauge and electric range estimate are highlighted when the vehicle is operating in Electric Mode. The fuel gauge and fuel range are dimmed.
Electric range is affected by colder outside temperatures. During colder\
months, the
energy needed to warm the vehicle’s cabin and propulsion battery can \
cause the vehi-cle’s electric range to decline. See Driving for Better Energy Effi\
ciency in the Driving and Operating section in your Owner’s Manual.
EXTENDED-RANGE MODE
Once the electric charge is depleted, the range-extending gas engine will start to provide 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 propul-sion battery. The vehicle must be plugged in to recharge. The fuel gauge\
and fuel range estimate are highlighted when the vehicle is operating in Extended-Range\
Mode. The propulsion battery gauge is dimmed.
TOTAL VEHICLE RANGE
Total vehicle range is based on the available combined electric and extended range. The displayed electric and fuel ranges are pro-jections based on past vehicle performance and charge/fuel level. The displayed ranges will change based on driving style, outside temperature and climate settings.
The Total Range indicator can be selected in the instrument cluster Information menu.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.

CLIMATE CONTROLS
CLIMATE SETTINGS
There are 3 climate mode settings. Each setting impacts the vehicle’s\
electric range or fuel economy. The mode settings below are listed from most to least effi\
cient.
Fan Only – Turn off the eco and MAX modes (button indicators are off). The \
air condi-tioning and electric heating are turned off.
eco – Press the eco button (green button indicator) for limited air conditioning or
electric heating, balancing comfort with energy use.
MAX – Press the MAX button (amber button indicator) to have the air conditioning or electric heating cool/heat the cabin as quickly as possible but also use\
more energy.
MAXIMUM DEFROST
To defrost the windshield and rear window as quickly as possible (uses the most energy):
1. Press MAX.
2. Press MAX MAX Defrost.
3. Press Rear Window Defogger.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
1. Select Fan Only, eco, or MAX.
2. Press AUTO.
3. Set the temperature.
If fan speed, air delivery, or recirculation is manually adjusted, automatic operation for that function is turned off.
AUTO HEATED SEATS AND STEERING WHEEL
Use the heated seats and heated steering wheel (if equipped) to reduce\
the demand on the vehicle’s heating system and use less energy.
To turn the auto heated seats on or off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Clim\
ate and Air Quality. The auto heated seats will turn on based on the vehicle’s in\
terior temperature.
To turn the remote start auto heated seats and steering wheel on or off,\
go to Settings > Vehicle > Remote Lock, Unlock, Start.
Note: Under certain conditions, the engine will start to ensure full heat and defrost capability.
See Climate Controls in your Owner’s Manual.

INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM
INFORMATION DISPLAYS
Press the Energy icon on the touch screen and then touch the Flow, Charging, or Info icon at the bottom of the screen to display the desired energy information.
Flow
The Power Flow screen indicates the current
system’s operating condition, showing the power flow between the high voltage propul-sion battery, electric drive unit and engine. Each component is highlighted when it is active.
Note: Component location in graphic is not representative of actual on-vehicle location.
Charging
The Charging screens show the Charge Limit and 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
Charge Complete times are estimates and most accurate at moderate temperatures. The Charge Limit and Charge Mode can be changed by touching the text. (See Charging on page 12.)
Info
The Info screens show the Energy Usage (Electric Mode and Extended-Range Mode) since the last time the vehicle was fully recharged and the Lifetime Fuel Economy of the vehicle.
VEHICLE PERSONALIZATION
A number of vehicle features can be cus-tomized using the Settings menus on the infotainment screen.
1. Touch Settings on the Home page.
2. Touch the desired menu item.
3. Touch the desired feature and setting.
4. Touch < Back to exit each menu.
See Instruments and Controls 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.
