This factory service and repair manual for the 2011 Chevrolet Volt covers the car's first model year, when it was sold in one trim, Base, as a four-door hatchback with a 1.4L inline-four plug-in hybrid powertrain of 85 cubic inches, twin-cam, naturally aspirated and running on gasoline. A plug-in hybrid asks for two kinds of service knowledge at once, and the manual supplies both: specifications, torque values and diagnostic routines for the gasoline engine, and wiring diagrams and procedures for the high-voltage side and its charging equipment.

Known issues on the 2011 Volt. One recall is on the federal record. If the driver walks away without shutting the car down, the battery can drain far enough that the gasoline engine starts by itself to recharge it; left running in a closed garage, that builds up carbon monoxide. Owner complaints total 49 and concentrate on the electrical system with 23, followed by air bags with six and steering with three, which are the propulsion, restraint and steering circuits the wiring diagrams and diagnostic charts here address.
