It looks like the guidance lines were removed from the backup camera in 2013 and later models. The reason being patent royalty costs.

I noticed that when on battery only mode the heater would not send hot air even though the temperature selector was all the way up to HI Ugh.... I had to set up a service appointment today to get it looked at. Hopefully it is under warranty. I was reading that it could be something as simple as a blown fuse. (crossing my fingers)

Boots - Axle - Outer Item Description A boot is a flexible, piece of rubber that protects vital components from dirt, debris and the elements. An axle is the part of the car's frame that supports the weight of the vehicle and the weight of accelerating and braking. An outer axle boot is the boot that protects the outer axle. Reason When damaged, the axle boots leave the axles vulnerable to decay and destruction which can lead to major component damage and damage of connected parts. Somewhat early for a 4 year old car in my humble opinion. Avoid General Motors and Chevrole…

So the latest in my saga continues.... Today out of the blue my "Service Power Steering / Stabilitrak" came up on the dashboard. Every 4-5 months it is something new now. Sort of regretting my purchase already.

Mountain mode either maintains the current battery state if it's over 50%, or regenerates it back to 50%. Regenerating it back to 50% is a very inefficient use of the ICE as a generator, so Mountain Mode is by far best used when you already have 50+% left.In Hold mode, it will allow the battery to support the ICE when accelerating up to about 2.5% of the battery charge; this means it'll get you up to speed reasonably well in most circumstances without the ICE having to work too hard.In Mountain mode, it will do the same, but with a buffer that's more like 5%.This means in normal driving without long hills, you won't notice any real difference between Mountain and Hold mod…

This was an exparament to see how quickly the on board generator on the Chevy Volt will recharge the battery. Say what you say, the volt doesn't recharge it's own battery. Well it can, to 40% to be exact, and in the name of science, I am going to prove it. There is no reason to ever do this, as it would cost much more to charge the battery this way, but if the computer would allow it, the on board generator could bring the car to a full charge in 40 minutes. A 10 minute run used 1 liter of gas, as provided 10 miles (16KM) of electric range. There for a 40 minute run should provide a full charge, but as expected, the engine only charged the battery to the 14-15 mile range,…

• I'm going to show you how to hook up a pure sine wave inverter, or two, to your Volt. You can get up to 480 watts AC for when your power goes out at home. The first thing you want to do is shut all the accessories off in the car. • You want to keep the Volt powered on but with the accessories off. There are 3 12volt outlets in the Volt. One in the front, one under your arm and one in the back. They run on two circuits. You can put up to a 240 watt AC inverter into 2 of the 3 outlets. Check with your Volt advisor to verify which of 3 12volt outlets to use so you don't trip the outlet with the shared circuit. • I'm showing one 180 watt pure sine wave inverter. With the Vo…
