116 Instruments and Controls
Certain accessory power plugs may
not be compatible with the
accessory power outlet and could
overload vehicle or adapter fuses.
If a problem is experienced, see
your dealer.
When adding electrical equipment,
be sure to follow the proper
installation instructions included with
the equipment. SeeAdd-On
Electrical Equipment 0254.
Caution
Hanging heavy equipment from
the power outlet can cause
damage not covered by the
vehicle warranty. The power
outlets are designed for
accessory power plugs only, such
as cell phone charge cords.
Wireless Charging
The vehicle may have a wireless
charging pocket outside the armrest
of the center console. The system
operates at 145 kHz and wirelessly
charges one Qi compatible mobile device. The power output of the
system is capable of charging at a
rate up to 3 amp (19.5W), as
requested by the compatible mobile
device. See
Radio Frequency
Statement 0343.
{Warning
Wireless charging can affect the
operation of an implanted
pacemaker or other medical
devices. If you have one, it is
recommended to consult with
your doctor before using the
wireless charging system.
The vehicle must be on, in Service
Mode, or Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) must be active. The
wireless charging feature may not
correctly indicate charging when the
vehicle is in RAP. See Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) 0208.
The operating temperature is −20 °C
(−4 °F) to 60 °C (140 °F) for the
charging system and 0 °C (32 °F) to
35 °C (95 °F) for the mobile phone.
{Warning
Remove all objects from the
charging pocket before charging
your mobile phone. Objects, such
as coins, keys, rings, paper clips,
or cards, between the mobile
phone and the charger will
become very hot. On the rare
occasion that the charging system
does not detect an object, and the
object gets wedged between the
mobile phone and the charger,
remove the mobile phone and
allow the object to cool before
removing it from the charging
pocket, to prevent burns.

156 Lighting
The hazard warning flasher button
is on the center stack.
|:Press to make the front and
rear turn signal lamps flash on and
off. This warns others that you are
having trouble. Press the button
again to turn the flashers off.
When the hazard warning flashers
are on, the turn signals will
not work.
Turn and Lane-Change
Signals
Move the lever all the way up or
down to signal a turn.
An arrow on the instrument cluster
flashes in the direction of the turn or
lane change. Raise or lower the lever until the
arrow starts to flash to signal a lane
change. Hold it there until the lane
change is completed.
If the lever is briefly pressed and
released, the turn signal flashes
three times.
The turn and lane-change signal
can be turned off manually by
moving the lever back to its original
position.
If after signaling a turn or lane
change, the arrow flashes rapidly or
does not come on, a signal bulb
may be burned out.
Replace any burned out bulbs. If a
bulb is not burned out, check the
fuse. See
Underhood Compartment
Fuse Block 0273.
Interior Lighting
Instrument Panel
Illumination Control
The brightness of the instrument
cluster display, infotainment display
and controls, steering wheel
controls, and all other illuminated
controls, as well as feature status
indicators can be adjusted.
The knob for this feature is on the
instrument panel beside the steering
column.

It is not necessary to regularly
check coolant unless a leak is
suspected or an unusual noise is
heard. A coolant loss could indicate
a problem. Have it inspected and
repaired by your dealer.
The following explains the cooling
systems and how to check coolant
levels.
.
High Voltage Battery
. Single Power Inverter Module
(SPIM), Accessory Power
Module (APM), and Charger
Module
. Cabin Heating
High Voltage Battery
During vehicle operation and also
during charging, the high voltage
battery cells in the vehicle are kept
within a normal operating
temperature range. If the
temperature rises above this
temperature, the battery cooling
system turns on the air conditioning
compressor and cools the coolant until the correct temperature is
reached. If the temperature falls
below this temperature, a high
voltage heater, located outside the
battery on a cradle, heats the
coolant until the correct temperature
is reached.
Single Power Inverter Module
(SPIM), Accessory Power
Module (APM), and Charger
Module
The SPIM, APM, and charger
module are cooled using a separate
coolant loop. These modules are
kept below a maximum temperature.
If the temperature rises above this
temperature, the electric cooling fan
will turn on to cool the coolant.
Cabin Heating
Cabin heating is maintained by
coolant heated by the Coolant
Heater Control Module (CHCM),
separate from the power electronics
and battery coolant loops. This
module heats the coolant based on
temperature inputs from the cabin
climate control systems.

272 Vehicle Care
Electrical System
High Voltage Devices and
Wiring
{Warning
Exposure to high voltage can
cause shock, burns, and even
death. The high voltage
components in the vehicle can
only be serviced by technicians
with special training.
High voltage components are
identified by labels. Do not
remove, open, take apart,
or modify these components.
High voltage cable or wiring has
orange covering or labels. Do not
probe, tamper with, cut, or modify
high voltage cable or wiring.
Electrical System
Overload
The vehicle has fuses and circuit
breakers to protect against an
electrical system overload.
When the current electrical load is
too heavy, the circuit breaker opens
and closes, protecting the circuit
until the current load returns to
normal or the problem is fixed. This
greatly reduces the chance of circuit
overload and fire caused by
electrical problems.
Fuses and circuit breakers protect
the following in the vehicle:
.Headlamp wiring
. Windshield wiper motor
. Power windows and other power
accessories
Replace a bad fuse with a new one
of the identical size and rating.
If there is a problem on the road and
a fuse needs to be replaced, the
same amperage fuse can be borrowed. Choose some feature of
the vehicle that is not needed to use
and replace it as soon as possible.Headlamp Wiring
An electrical overload may cause
the lamps to go on and off, or in
some cases to remain off. Have the
headlamp wiring checked right away
if the lamps go on and off or
remain off.
Windshield Wipers
If the wiper motor overheats due to
heavy snow or ice, the windshield
wipers will stop until the motor cools
and the wiper control is turned off.
After removal of the blockage, the
wiper motor will restart when the
control is then moved to the desired
operating position.
Although the circuit is protected
from electrical overload, overload
due to heavy snow or ice, may
cause wiper damage. Always clear
ice and heavy snow from the
windshield before using the
windshield wipers.

Chevrolet BOLT EV Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
12163003) - 2019 - crc - 5/18/18
Vehicle Care 273
If the overload is caused by an
electrical problem and not snow or
ice, be sure to get it fixed.
Fuses and Circuit
Breakers
The wiring circuits in the vehicle are
protected from short circuits by a
combination of fuses and circuit
breakers. This greatly reduces the
chance of damage caused by
electrical problems.
{Danger
Fuses and circuit breakers are
marked with their ampere rating.
Do not exceed the
specified amperage rating when
replacing fuses and circuit
breakers. Use of an oversized
fuse or circuit breaker can result
in a vehicle fire. You and others
could be seriously injured or
killed.To check a fuse, look at the
silver-colored band inside the fuse.
If the band is broken or melted,
replace the fuse. Be sure to replace
a bad fuse with a new one of the
identical size and rating.
Fuses of the same amperage can
be temporarily borrowed from
another fuse location, if a fuse goes
out. Replace the fuse as soon as
possible.
Underhood Compartment
Fuse Block
To open the fuse block cover, press
the clips at the side and back and
pull the cover up.
Caution
Spilling liquid on any electrical
component on the vehicle may
damage it. Always keep the
covers on any electrical
component.
