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 an active battery.
Stopping the Vehicle/OFF
Shift to Park and then press the POWER button. A power OFF audio cue will sound.
Pedestrian Safety Signal
The vehicle is equipped with an automatic sound generator. The sound is automatically generated at speeds below 14 mph to indicate the vehicle’s presence to pedestrians.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
Getting Started
POWER Button
The Bolt EV 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 button 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.

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 indica-tor, power usage and an efficiency ring that glows green to yellow based on driving efficiency.

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 vehicle’s electric range to decline. See Driving for Better Energy Efficiency in the Driving and Operating section in your Owner Manual.
Driving Style
Your driving style plays a large role in the efficiency of the vehicle. Avoid rapid acceleration or deceleration to help maximize energy efficiency and range. Electric range is maximized at 50 mph and below; higher speeds use more energy and significantly reduce electric range.
Efficiency Gauges
Use the 5-way control to select an instru-ment 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 MODE 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.
Regen on Demand™
Regen on Demand temporarily regenerates energy from the vehicle’s momentum and stores it in the high voltage propulsion bat-tery 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 regenerative braking. Regen on Demand is deactivated once the paddle is released or the accelerator pedal is pressed.
