ELECTRONIC PRECISION SHIFT
The electronic drive unit shift lever always starts in a center position\
, represented by a dot on the shift pattern on top of the shift lever. The selected gear positi\
on illuminates in red. After shifting, the shift lever returns to the center position.
Park – Press the button on top of the lever (A) to shift into Park.
To shift out of Park, with the vehicle ON and the brake pedal applied, press and hold the shift lock button on the side of the lever (B) and select the desired gear.
Reverse – Press and hold the shift lock
button on the side of the lever (B) and move the lever forward and then left to shift into Reverse.
Neutral – Move and hold the lever forward for 1/2 second to shift into Neutr\
al.
Note: The transmission will not stay in Neutral for an extended period. It will automatically shift into Park.
Drive – Move the lever rearward to shift into Drive.
One-Pedal Driving – With the transmission in Drive, pull the lever rearward to the L (Low) position to enable “one-pedal” driving. When the accelerat\
or pedal is not applied, regenerative braking is active to help slow the vehicle. Use the brake p\
edal for additional braking or panic stops. Pull the lever rearward again to return to Drive\
.
Note: Regenerative braking features may be limited when the battery is near full charge or cold. Always use the brake pedal if you need to stop immediately. This mode may be used at any vehicle speed, but is not recommended during inclement weather.
AUTOMATED CAR WASH MODE
To place the transmission in Neutral with the vehicle running:
1. While pressing the brake pedal, open the driver’s door and then shift\
to Neutral.
2. The indicator should show N. If it does not, select Neutral again.
3. Upon returning to the vehicle, shift into Park.
SPORT MODE
Press the SPORT button on the center of the instrument panel to select the Normal or Sport driving mode.
Normal (Default)
Use in normal driving conditions for
efficient operation. This mode is active each time the vehicle is started.
Sport
Use when more performance is needed. This mode increases throttle response. The Sport indicator will illuminate on the instrument cluster.

CHARGING
BATTERY
The Bolt EV is powered by a lithium-ion high voltage battery pack, which\
holds its charge efficiently and has no memory effect (so it doesn’t have to be run\
down completely before recharging). Keep the vehicle plugged in, even when fully charge\
d, to keep the battery temperature ready for the next drive.
CHARGING TIME
Charging rates and times vary depending on outside temperature and remai\
ning charge.
When using a 120-volt AC electrical outlet, it will take approximately 5\
5 hours to fully charge a depleted battery with the 12 amp AC current setting, allowing a\
pproximately 4 miles for every hour of charging.
When using a 240-volt charging station, it will take approximately 10 ho\
urs to fully charge a depleted battery with the 32 amp AC setting, allowing approxima\
tely 25 miles for every hour of charging.
When using a DC charging station with at least 80 kW of available power,\
it will take approximately 30 minutes to charge a depleted battery to an estimated 10\
0 miles of driving range.
PROGRAMMABLE CHARGING
There are 3 programmable charging modes: Immediately upon plug-in; Delay\
ed based on departure time or electric rates; and Target charge level for needed ran\
ge.
Touch the Energy icon on the touchscreen and then touch the Charging icon to view the current Charge Mode and Charge Limit.
Touch the Charge Limit toggle button to select a different charge level.\
Touch the desired Charge Mode tab to select a different charge mode.
CHARGING STATUS
The Charging Status indicators are located on the instrument panel near \
the windshield and on the illuminated charge port (if available).
Single tone and flashing green indicator – Vehicle is plugged in; battery is charging. Flashes indicate current percentage of battery charge.
1 flash: 0–25% charged
2 flashes: 25–50% charged
3 flashes: 50–75% charged
4 flashes: 75–99% charged
Solid light: 100% charged
Slow (long pulse) flashing green indicator with double tone – Vehicle is plugged in; battery charging is delayed
Solid green indicator – Vehicle is plugged in; battery is fully charged
Solid yellow indicator – Vehicle is plugged in; not charging
No light – Vehicle is not plugged in OR there is an issue with the charger or\
outlet
No light and repetitive tones – Issue with the charge cord connection
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.

CHARGING
START CHARGING
The provided 120-volt portable charge cord is located under the storage \
floor in the cargo area and can be used to charge the vehicle when a 240V charging st\
ation is not available.
1. With the vehicle parked, turn off the vehi-cle and select the Charging button at the
bottom of the Energy Summary screen.
2. Review the selected Charge Mode and Charge Limit. Select the Charge Limit
toggle button if an increased charging limit is desired. Use the 8-amp charge limit until a qualified electrician inspects your home’s electrical circuit capacity, or if the electrical circuit or outlet capacity is not known.
Note: The charge level selection returns to the 8-amp setting each time the vehicle is driven.
3. Plug the charge cord into an electrical
outlet. DO NOT PLUG INTO AN EXTENSION CORD. Charge cord indicators should be green. Where possible, secure the charge cord to the wall.
4. Press and release the rear edge of the charge port door, located just in front of the driver’s door, to open it. Plug the charge cord into the charge port.
5. The Charging Status indicator on top of the instrument panel will illuminate green and the horn will chirp when properly connected.
Note: To change the horn chirp setting, go to Energy > Charging Options.
6. Periodically check the electrical outlet/plug while charging. Discontinu\
e use if the
electrical outlet/plug is hot and have the electrical outlet serviced by\
a qualified electrician.
To arm the charge cord theft alert, lock the vehicle twice with the Remo\
te Keyless Entry transmitter.
Note: When the theft alert is armed, the alarm will sound when the plug is disconnected from the vehicle. To change charge cord theft alert options, go to Energy > Charging Options.
To temporarily override a delayed charge event, remove and reconnect the\
charge cord to the vehicle within 5 seconds. It will begin charging immediately\
.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.

DC CHARGING (IF EQUIPPED)
DC charging stations are typically found in public locations.
CHARGING TIME
Using a DC charging station with at least 80 kW of available power, it w\
ill take approxi-mately 30 minutes to recharge a depleted battery to an estimated 100 mil\
es of EV range. Charge times will vary with outside temperature. Charging will continue \
to 100%, but at a slower rate. At 100% state of charge, the vehicle may continue to draw p\
ower to condition the battery if needed. Once battery conditioning is complete, the vehicl\
e will stop the charging session.
START DC CHARGING
1. With the vehicle parked and turned off, push and release the rear edge o\
f the charge port door, located just in front of the driver’s door, to open the do\
or.
2. Unlatch and lower the DC charging dust cover on the charge port.
3. Plug the charge cord into the vehicle’s charge port.
4. Follow the steps on the charging station to start charging. The electric\
parking brake will automatically apply and the DC plug will be locked and cannot be di\
sconnected while charging is active.
5. The Charging Status Indicator on top of the instrument panel will illumi\
nate green and the horn will chirp when properly connected.
Note: To change the horn chirp setting, go to Energy > Charging Options.
To arm the charge cord theft alert, lock the vehicle twice with the Remo\
te Keyless Entry transmitter.
END DC CHARGING
1. Unlock the vehicle with the RKE transmitter to disarm the charge cord th\
eft alert.
2. When the vehicle is fully charged, it will stop charging and the plug wi\
ll be unlocked. To stop charging at any time, use the controls on the charging station o\
r touch the Stop button on the Charging screen on the vehicle touchscreen.
3. When the Charging Status Indicator is solid green or off, unplug the cha\
rge cord from the vehicle.
4. Close the DC charging dust cover and close the charge port door.
5. Disengage the electric parking brake before driving the vehicle.
