Chevrolet VOLT Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
12163007) - 2019 - crc - 6/19/18
178 Driving and Operating
Each time the vehicle is started, it
will return to Normal Mode.
Out of Fuel/Engine
Unavailable
If the vehicle runs out of fuel, or the
engine will not start due to a
malfunction, the vehicle can
continue to be driven in Electric
Mode until the current charge is
depleted. The vehicle will have less
responsive acceleration. Driver
Information Center (DIC) messages
indicate reduced propulsion power,
that the engine is not available, and
the need for fuel or service.
Once the vehicle is refueled, or the
malfunction is corrected, the engine
will start the next time the vehicle is
turned on to perform a self test, and
DIC messages will not be displayed.
Once the engine starts successfully,
normal operation will continue in
either Electric or Extended Range
Mode. The engine may stop running
after the self test is completed,
based on the current mode of
operation.
Maintenance Modes
Engine Maintenance Mode (EMM)
EMM runs the engine to keep it in
good working condition after
approximately six weeks of no or
very limited engine operation. EMM
will force the engine to run, even if
there is a charge to power the
vehicle.
When EMM is needed, the EMM
notification will display.
If Start is selected, EMM will begin.
The engine will not start until after a
short delay once shifted into
D (Drive). The engine will run for a
set amount of time without turning
off. During EMM, a DIC message
displays to show the
EMM percentage complete.
If More Info is selected, a pop-up
will show describing the Engine
Maintenance procedure. There will
be an option to Start or an option to
Postpone. Postpone will allow EMM
to be delayed for up to one day and
the EMM notification will re-appear
when the vehicle is next started.
If the EMM request was delayed for
one day, EMM will automatically
start the engine at the next vehicle
start, and a notification will display
stating that EMM is starting
maintenance. A More Info button will
also be available on the notification
which, when pressed, provides an
explanation of Engine Maintenance.
