Anti-Tamper Bracket
Installation
To discourage
unqualiedindividuals
from attempting to
repair the high-voltage
battery cooling sys-
tem, Volts built after
January27,2012
(VIN# CU113809 and
higher) are shipped
with an anti-tamper
bracket assembly in
the rear compart-
ment. The bracket
is to be installed at
the dealership during
Pre-Delivery Inspec-
tion (PDI). The PDI
form has been updated
with this new step.
The anti-tamper
bracket assembly
must be installed to
the passenger-side of
the high-voltage bat-
tery/power electronics
coolant surge tank as-
sembly after the cool-
ant level is adjusted.
Coolant Level
Adjustment
After completion of
the PDI road test,
adjust the coolant
level to the top of
the seam in the
middle of the surge
tank. This slight
overfill condition will
protect for the
purging of trace
amounts of air in the
system that wasn’t
purged during the
road test.
Bracket
Installation
Final adjustment of
the coolant level must
be followed by the
installation of the anti-
tamper bracket. The
anti-tamper bracket
R&I procedure can be found in the Service Information. Installation can be
considerably streamlined with the use of a 10mm ratcheting box-wrench
placed under the radiator upper cross-bar.

To ensure all vehicles get the E85 Flex Fuel identi-
fier, during a 48 hour change-over period, a number
of vehicles were produced with both the badge and
the window decal. Vehicles built on or after the
build dates are built with the E85 window decal.
If owners notice the E85 Flex Fuel badge is missing
from the liftgate, point out the decal located on the
