It starts after a pre-determined period of time whilst in the air. MDGeistMD02 is correct in his comment when the bolt is fired over short distances, but over longer distances, they auto-ignite.

One evening, on Dishonored, when i had nothing better to do, I calculated the position of a guard inside a booth. After a number of calculations and experiments, I fired off a salvo (since incendiary bolts have an innate tumbling action that leads to inaccuracies) of bolts skyward.

After about 30-40 seconds, they streak down from the sky as fiery ribbons (indicating they have ignited mid flight), and one, perfectly, swished through the open hatch on the top of the booth and smacked into the guard. Instant devastation. Needless to say, I was rather pleased with myself afterwards.
