N (NEUTRAL) or R (REVERSE) modes.
Auto Park is enabled under the following conditions:
– READY mode (12 Volt ON and High Voltage ON).
– Vehicle speed is below 2 mph (3 km/h).
NOTE:
•Auto Park feature only occurs once per key cycle.
•Auto Park is disabled above 2 mph (3 km/h) and the drive mode range will be
maintained.
The instrument cluster will display an Auto Shift To Park message and chime once when

Audible Pedestrian Warning System
Your vehicle is equipped with an Audible Pedestrian Warning System.The Audible Pedestrian
Warning System uses distinct sounds to alert pedestrians that your vehicle is approaching.

ing D (DRIVE) or R (REVERSE).
In D (DRIVE) range, the system will remain active until the vehicle reaches a speed of
approximately 22 mph (35.5 km/h).At approximately 22 mph (35.5 km/h) the warning

EXTENDING YOUR DRIVING RANGE PER CHARGE
•A little knowledge will go a long way to extend your driving range on the 500e.First
and foremost understand that the drive system and cabin temperature management
features use the most energy from the high voltage battery.Reducing energy draw
from these features are the easiest and most effective way to extend driving range.
•Just like a conventional vehicle, 500e likes to keep things smooth and steady for most
efficient operation.When driving, avoid aggressive driving styles and high speeds for
extended times.When practical, choose surface streets over the highway, work to
maintain a steady speed to extend range.
•The 500e uses high voltage components to heat and cool the cabin, so a little aware-
ness can go a long way to extend range.When using automatic climate control, con-
sider setting temperatures a few degrees higher or lower during hot and cold days.
If your 500e has been soaking in hot or cold temperatures for an extended period, it
is recommended that the car be preconditioned via the FIAT Access smartphone app
while still plugged into a charging source.This will allow 500e to use external power to
establish a comfortable cabin temperature before the drive, and allow the battery to
maintain the temperature using significantly less energy during the drive.
Additional Tips:
•Keep tires properly inflated
•Avoid carrying nonessential cargo
•Be mindful of adding external accessories that may increase aerodynamic drag
•Perform all scheduled maintenance at recommended intervals
Driver Behavior Gauge
To help the driver extend the driving range of the high voltage battery your vehicle is
equipped with a Driver Behavior Gauge.The Driver Behavior Gauge is located on the
right side of the instrument cluster and displays three driving ranges:
Power
The Driver Behavior Gauge will move into
the Power range when under acceleration.
ECO
The Driver Behavior Gauge will move into
the ECO range when you are maximizing
the driving range of the high voltage bat-
tery.
Charge
The Driver Behavior Gauge will move into
the Charge range when battery regenera-
tion is active (either coasting or braking).Driver Behavior Gauge
