10 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

General Information
The vehicle is also equipped with a Battery Management
System that is designed to:
•Ensure safe operation
• Maximize driving range
• Maximize the life expectancy of the high voltage
battery
NOTE:
• During vehicle start up and shut down a clicking noise
may be heard from within the vehicle. When the
ignition key is turned to the on position, the high
voltage battery contactors inside the battery are closed
to make the stored electricity inside available for
vehicle use. The clicking noise observed is the sound of
these contactors as they open and close and is normal
operation for your 500e. •
The operating temperature range of the high voltage
battery is -22 °F to 122 °F (-30 °C to 50 °C). If it is
attempted to operate the vehicle with the battery
outside of these temperature extremes it will not
function.
500e ELECTRIC VEHICLE FEATURES
Understanding the unique characteristics of your 500e
will help ensure maximum performance and the best
driving range from your vehicle.
Your 500e is equipped with two electrical systems; a 12
Volt system that is used to power the conventional

used to drive the wheels through a single-speed trans-
mission as well as other high voltage system compo-
nents.
