CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equip-
ment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warning
have been established for the tire size equipped on
your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor
damage may result when using replacement equip-
ment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Using
aftermarket tire sealants may cause the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor to become inoper-
able. After using an aftermarket tire sealant it is
recommended that you take your vehicle to your au-
thorized dealer to have your sensor function checked.
— Immobilizer Vehicle Theft Alarm Warning
Light
This warning light will illuminate when the vehicle secu-
rity alarm system has detected an attempt to break into the
vehicle.
— Regenerative Brake System (RBS) Indicator
Light
If the light turns on and remains on while driving, it
suggests that there is a potential problem with the Regen- erative Brake System (RBS) and the need for system
service. See an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Refer to “Regenerative Braking” in “Safety” for further
information.
Yellow Indicator Lights
— EV System Malfunction Indicator Light
This indicator will illuminate when there is a malfunction
in the Electric Vehicle (EV) System. If the EV System
Malfunction Indicator light comes on while driving or
charging see your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
— Icy Road Condition Indicator Light — If
Equipped
This light will illuminate during an icy road condition.
— Rear Defrost Light
This indicator will illuminate when the rear window
defroster is on. The rear window defroster automatically
turns off after 20 minutes.
96 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
hot or cold temperatures for an extended period, it is
recommended that the car be preconditioned using the
Uconnect smartphone app (not available in Canada) while
still plugged into a charging source. This will allow 500e to
use external power to establish a comfortable cabin tem-
perature before the drive and allow the battery to maintain
the temperature at significantly lower energy levels.
Additional tips:
•Keep tires properly inflated.
• When practical, choose surface streets over the highway,
and work to maintain a steady speed.
• Avoid carrying nonessential cargo.
• Be mindful of adding external accessories that may
increase aerodynamic drag.
• Perform all scheduled maintenance at recommended
intervals.
Driver Behavior Gauge
To help the driver extend the driving range of the high
voltage battery your vehicle is equipped with a Driver
Behavior Gauge. The Driver Behavior Gauge is located on
the right side of the instrument cluster and contains three
driving ranges: •
Power
The needle will move into the Power range when under
acceleration.
• ECO
The needle will move into the ECO range when you are
maximizing the driving range of the high voltage battery.
• Charge
The needle will move into the Charge range when battery
regeneration is active (either coasting or braking).

WARNING!
•Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever
the hood is raised. It can start anytime the ignition
switch is ON. You can be injured by moving fan
blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry such as rings, watch
bands and bracelets that could make an inadvertent
electrical contact. You could be seriously injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your
skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas which is
flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or
sparks away from the battery.
1. Apply the parking brake, place the transmission into PARK and turn the ignition to LOCK.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical accessories.
3. Remove the protective cover over the positive (+)bat-
tery post.
4. If using another vehicle to jump start the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper cables reach, apply the
parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.
WARNING!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could
establish a ground connection and personal injury
could result.
Jump Starting Procedure
WARNING!
Failure to follow this jump starting procedure could
result in personal injury or property damage due to
battery explosion.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures could result in
damage to the charging system of the booster vehicle
or the discharged vehicle.
Connecting The Jumper Cables
1. Connect the positive (+)end of the jumper cable to the
positive (+)post of the discharged vehicle.
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive (+)jumper
cable to the positive (+)post of the booster battery.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 207
3. Connect the negative end(-)of the jumper cable to the
negative (-)post of the booster battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the negative (-)jumper
cable to a good vehicle ground (exposed metal part of
the discharged vehicle underhood compartment) away
from the battery.
WARNING!
Do not connect the jumper cable to the negative (-) post
of the discharged battery. The resulting electrical spark
could cause the battery to explode and could result in
personal injury. Only use the specific ground point, do
not use any other exposed metal parts.
5. Start the vehicle that has the booster battery, and allow it to idle for a few minutes. Then turn the key to the
RUN position on the vehicle with the discharged bat-
tery.
6. Once the vehicle is started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
Disconnecting The Jumper Cables
1.
Disconnect the negative (-)jumper cable from the vehicle
ground (-)of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
2. Disconnect the negative end (-)of the jumper cable from
the negative (-)post of the booster battery.
3. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+)jumper
cable from the positive (+)post of the booster battery.
4. Disconnect the positive (+)end of the jumper cable from
the positive (+)post of the discharged vehicle.
If frequent jump starting is required to start your vehicle,
you should have the battery and charging system in-
spected at an authorized dealer.
MANUAL PARK RELEASE
WARNING!
Always secure your vehicle by fully applying the
parking brake before activating the Manual Park Re-
lease. Activating the Manual Park Release will allow
your vehicle to roll away if it is not secured by the
parking brake, or by proper connection to a tow
vehicle. Activating the Manual Park Release on an
unsecured vehicle could lead to serious injury or death
for those in or around the vehicle.
In order to move the vehicle in cases where the transmis-
sion will not shift out of PARK (such as a dead battery), a
