IMPORTANT VEHICLE INFORMATION
Your 500e operates entirely on electricity stored in the high voltage battery.Unlike a
conventional vehicle or Hybrid there is no internal combustion engine.Battery Electric
Vehicles have unique operating characteristics that you should become familiar with to
ensure you are getting the optimal performance from your vehicle.
High Voltage Battery
Your vehicle is equipped with a Lithium-ion high voltage battery that is used to power
the electric powertrain systems and the 12 Volt vehicle electrical system.
The high voltage battery is located under the vehicle.The high voltage battery is mainte-
nance free and designed to last for the life of the vehicle.
Lithium-ion batteries provide the following
benefits:
•Lithium-ion batteries are much lighter
than other types of rechargeable batter-
ies of the same size.
•Lithium-ion batteries hold their charge;
they only lose approximately 3% of their
charge per month when not in use.
•Lithium-ion batteries have no memory,
which means that you do not have to
completely discharge them before re-
charging, as with some other batteries.
•Lithium-ion batteries can be recharged
and discharged thousands of times.

Instrument Panel State Of Charge Indicator
•In addition to the instrument cluster the vehicle is also equipped with a State Of
Charge indicator.The indicator is made up of five lights that are mounted to the cen-
ter of the instrument panel.
•The State Of Charge indicator repre-
sents the current state of charge for the
high voltage battery.The indicator lights
quickly identify the battery state of
charge while the vehicle is being
charged.Each light represents an incre-
mental 20% level of charge.Solid and
blinking lights indicate charge status simi-
lar to a mobile device.
NOTE:
In the event of an error in the charging
process the outer two lights will blink.
Number Of Indicator Lights Illuminated Percent Of Battery Charge
1 Light 0 – 20%
2 Lights 21 – 40%
3 Lights 41 – 60%
4 Lights 61 – 80%
5 Lights 81 – 100%

STARTING YOUR 500e
•Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors,
and fasten your seat belts.
WARNING!
•Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
•Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of rea-
sons.A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured.Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the transmission gear se-
lector buttons.
•Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible to chil-
dren).A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
NOTE:
Make sure the EVSE is not plugged into the vehicle.
•Turn the key to the START position while your vehicle is in PARK.When the ignition
key is turned to the START and then the RUN position, the “READY” indicator in the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will illuminate to indicate the 500e's Elec-
tric Drive System has started.
•When the “READY” indicator is illuminated, your 500e is ready to be driven.
•If the “READY” indicator fails to illumi-
nate after you have followed the normal
starting procedure, contact your autho-
rized dealer.
NOTE:
You must push the brake pedal before
shifting out of PARK.
