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 Uconnect 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
Driving Behavior Gauge
To help the driver extend the driving range of the high voltage battery your vehicle is
equipped with a Driving Behavior Gauge.The Driving Behavior Gauge is located on the
right side of the instrument cluster and displays three driving ranges:
Power
The Driving Behavior Gauge will move into
the Power range when under acceleration.
ECO
The Driving Behavior Gauge will move into
the ECO range when you are maximizing
the driving range of the high voltage bat-
tery.
Charge
The Driving Behavior Gauge will move into
the Charge range when battery regenera-
tion is active (either coasting or braking).

nance Procedures” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” in your Owner’s Manual or applicable
supplement on the DVD for further details.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Once A Month Or Before A Trip:
•Check windshield washer fluid level
•Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage
•Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoirs and brake master cylinder
•Check function of all interior and exterior lights
Required Maintenance Intervals
Refer to the maintenance schedules on the following page for the required maintenance
intervals.
At Every Service Interval:
•Rotate the tires.Rotate at the first sign of irregular wear.
•

Wheel And Wheel Trim Care
All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels, should be
cleaned regularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion.
To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust, use MOPAR Wheel Cleaner or equiva-
lent or select a non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaner.
CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle brush, or metal polishes.Do not use
oven cleaner.These products may damage the wheel's protective finish.Avoid automatic
car washes that use acidic solutions or harsh brushes that may damage the wheel's pro-
tective finish.Only MOPAR Wheel Cleaner or equivalent is recommended.
TIRE ROTATION RECOMMENDATIONS
NOTE:
The front and rear wheels are different sizes and cannot be used in place of each other.
Rotate the wheels “side-to-side” as shown in the diagram.
The tires on the front and rear of your
vehicle operate at different loads and per-
form different steering, driving, and braking
functions.For these reasons, they wear at
unequal rates.
These effects can be reduced by timely
rotation of tires.The benefits of rotation
are especially worthwhile with aggressive
tread designs such as those on all season
type tires.Rotation will increase tread life, help to maintain mud, snow and wet traction
levels, and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride.
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper maintenance intervals.The reasons
for any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected prior to rotation being performed.
