GETTING STARTED
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
The RKE transmitter (key fob) performs several remote functions and mu\
st be in the vehicle to start the Bolt EV.
Keyless Access

Panic Alarm
Press and release to locate the vehicle.
Press and hold for 3 seconds to sound the panic alarm.

Remote Start
Press the Lock button and then press and hold the
button until the turn signal lamps flash to start the vehicle and condi-tion the passenger cabin temperature from outside the vehicle. The heating or air conditioning system and rear window defogger (if needed) will turn on.
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.
See Keys, Doors and Windows in your Owner’s Manual.

GETTING STARTED
POWER BUTTON
The Bolt EV features an electronic pushbutton 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.
DRIVER’S SEAT AND STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
Before driving, adjust the steering wheel and seat 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.

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.
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.
ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE
To apply the parking brake, pull up the
Parking Brake switch by the shift lever.
To release the parking brake, turn on the vehicle, press the brake pedal, and then press the switch.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.

yellow based on driving efficiency.
Modern – Displays basic information plus power usage and an efficiency ball that moves up and down based on driving efficiency.
Enhanced – Displays basic information plus a maximum and minimum range indicator, power usage and an efficiency ring that glows green to yellow based on driving efficiency.
CLUSTER DISPLAY ZONES
Press the or on the Driver Information Center (DIC) controls, locat-ed on the right side of the steering wheel, to move between the different display zones.
Press the or on the DIC controls to scroll through the display menus.

EFFICIENCY
ELECTRIC RANGE
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.
DRIVING STYLE
Your driving style plays a large role in the efficiency of the vehicle\
. Avoid rapid accelera-tion or deceleration to help maximize energy efficiency and range. Ele\
ctric range is maxi-mized at 50 mph and below; higher speeds use more energy and significa\
ntly reduce electric range.
EFFICIENCY GAUGES
Use the Driver Information Center controls to select an instrument cluster layout that displays the green efficiency bar, ball or ring indicator.
While driving, try to keep the bar or ring green, or the ball in the center of the gauge, depending on the cluster theme selected. The bar or ring will turn yellow or the ball will move up or down during inefficient acceleration or aggressive braking.
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 respon\
se. The Sport indicator will illuminate on the instrument cluster.
REGEN ON DEMAND™
Regen on Demand temporarily regener-ates energy from the vehicle’s momentum and stores it in the high voltage propulsion
battery for later use.
To activate Regen on Demand, pull and hold the left paddle on the back 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 the accele\
rator pedal is pressed.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.

CLIMATE CONTROLS
CLIMATE SETTINGS
Optimal efficiency is achieved with the climate system off (Climate O\
N indicator is off). Each mode setting impacts the vehicle’s electric range.
Use the Fan only to distribute air through the cabin without active elec\
tric heating/cooling (Heat and A/C indicators are off).
Select Heat or A/C (Heat or A/C indicator is on) for active electric h\
eating/cooling. This setting uses more energy.

ergy.
To turn the automatic heated seats and steering wheel on or off, go to S\
ettings > Vehicle > Climate and Air Quality. When turned on, the heated seats and \
steering wheel will activate automatically based on the vehicle’s interior temperature.
