8 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

•Lithium-ion batteries can be recharged and dis-
charged thousands of times.
High Voltage Battery Service Disconnect
The high voltage battery service disconnect is located
under the rear passenger seat lower cushion. If your
vehicle requires service, see your authorized dealer.
WARNING!
Never try to remove the high voltage service dis-
connect. The high voltage service disconnect is used
when your vehicle requires service by a trained
technician at an authorized dealer. Failure to follow
this warning can cause severe burns or electrical
shock that may result in serious injury or death.
Disposal of the High Voltage Battery
Your vehicle’s high voltage battery is designed to last
the life of your vehicle. See your authorized dealer for
information on the disposal of the battery if it should
require replacement. General Information
The vehicle is also equipped with a Battery Manage-
ment 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.
10 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:Changes or modifications not expressly ap-
proved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user ’s authority to operate the equipment.
VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The vehicle security alarm monitors the vehicle doors
for unauthorized entry and the ignition for unauthor-
ized operation. If something triggers the alarm, the
vehicle security alarm will provide the following au-
dible and visible signals: the horn will pulse, the park
lamps and/or turn signals will flash, and the vehicle
security light in the instrument cluster will flash.
To Arm The System
Push the key fob lock button.
To Disarm The System
Push the key fob unlock button or cycle the ignition to
the MAR (ACC/ON/RUN) position. The vehicle security alarm is designed to protect your
vehicle. However, you can create conditions where the
vehicle security alarm will give you a false alarm. If one
of the previously described arming sequences has oc-
curred, the vehicle security alarm will arm regardless of
whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in
the vehicle and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the vehicle security alarm.
If the vehicle security alarm is armed and the battery
becomes disconnected, the vehicle security alarm will
remain armed when the battery is reconnected. The
exterior lights will flash, and the horn will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the vehicle security alarm.
