WARNING!
•Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss of vehicle control and increase the
risk of serious personal injury.
•Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the driver foot well while the ve-
hicle is moving.Objects can become trapped under the brake pedal and accelera-
tor pedal causing a loss of vehicle control.
•Failure to properly follow floor mat installation or mounting can cause interference
with the brake pedal and accelerator pedal operation causing loss of control of
the vehicle.
•Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.Al-
lowing 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.
•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.
•Never use the ‘PARK’ position as a substitute for the parking brake.Always apply
the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and pos-
sible injury or damage.
•Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
USE OF AFTERMARKET PRODUCTS (ELECTRONICS)
The use of aftermarket devices including cell phones, MP3 players, GPS systems, or char-
gers may affect the performance of on-board wireless features including Keyless Enter-
N-Go and Remote Start range.If you are experiencing difficulties with any of your wire-
less features, try disconnecting your aftermarket devices to see if the situation improves.If
your symptoms persist, please see an authorized dealer.
When it comes to service, remember that your authorized dealer knows your vehicle
best, has factory-trained technicians and genuine MOPAR® parts, and cares about your
satisfaction.

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.

If it is necessary to modify the air bag system for persons with disabilities, contact your
authorized dealer.
Refer to the “Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)” in “Things To Know Before Starting
Your Vehicle” in the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
Supplemental Knee Air Bags
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag mounted in the instru-
ment panel below the steering column.The Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag provides
enhanced protection during a frontal impact by working together with the seat belts, pre-
tensioners, and Advanced Front Air Bags.
WARNING!
•Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.The
air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly.In some collisions, the
air bags won't deploy at all.Always wear your seat belts even though you have air
bags.
•Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front
Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death.Air bags need
room to inflate.Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering
wheel or instrument panel.
•No objects should be placed over or near the air bag on the instrument panel or
steering wheel because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
collision severe enough to cause the air bag to inflate.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs) located in
the outboard side of the front seats.The SABs are marked with a SRS AIRBAG or AIR-
BAG label sewn into the outboard side of the seats.
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABICs) lo-
cated above the side windows.The trim covering the SABICs is labeled SRS AIRBAG or
AIRBAG.The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or complete ejection of vehicle
occupants through side windows in certain side impact events.
The SABICs and SABs (“Side Air Bags”) are designed to activate in certain side impacts.
The Occupant Restraint Controller (“ORC”) determines whether the deployment of the
Side Air Bags in a particular impact event is appropriate, based on the severity and type
of collision.Vehicle damage by itself is not a good indicator of whether or not Side Air
Bags should have deployed.

WARNING!
•Side Air Bags need room to inflate.Do not lean against the door or window.Sit
upright in the center of the seat.
•Being too close to the Side Air Bags during deployment could cause you to be
severely injured or killed.
•Relying on the Side Air Bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.
The Side Air Bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly.In some colli-
sions, Side Air Bags won’t deploy at all.Always wear your seat belt even though
you have Side Air Bags.
•This vehicle is equipped with left and right Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABICs).Do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block
the deployment of the SABICs.The trim covering above the side windows where
the SABIC and its deployment path are located should remain free from any ob-
structions.
•This vehicle is equipped with SABICs.In order for the SABICs to work as in-
tended, do not install any accessory items in your vehicle which could alter the
roof.Do not add an aftermarket sunroof to your vehicle.Do not add roof racks
that require permanent attachments (bolts or screws) for installation on the ve-
hicle roof.Do not drill into the roof of the vehicle for any reason.
•Do not use accessory seat covers or place objects between you and the Side Air
Bags; the performance could be adversely affected and/or objects could be pushed
into you, causing serious injury.
Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact, if the communication network remains intact, and the power
remains intact, depending on the nature of the event, the ORC will determine whether
to have the Enhanced Accident Response System perform the following functions:
•Cut off battery power to the motor.
•Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power or until the hazard light button is
pressed.The hazard lights can be deactivated by pressing the hazard light button.
•Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has power.
•Unlock the power door locks.
Enhanced Accident Response System Reset Procedure
After an event occurs requiring activation of the Enhanced Accident Response System,
when the system is active, a “Service EV System” message” will be displayed on the in-
strument cluster.The vehicle is not drivable in this state and must be towed to an autho-
rized dealer immediately to be inspected and have the Enhanced Accident Response Sys-
tem reset.
