2019 FIAT 500E battery location

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 maintenance free and designed to
last for the life of the vehicle.
NOTE:Upon exiting the vehicle, ensure the ignition is in
the off position and the key is removed from the vehicle.
Lithium-ion batteries provide the following benefits:
•Lithium-ion batteries are much lighter than other types
of rechargeable batteries of the same size.
• Lithium-ion batteries hold their charge; they only lose
approximately 3 percent of their charge per month.
• Lithium-ion batteries have no memory, which means
that you do not have to completely discharge them
before recharging, as with some other batteries.

WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•Only devices designed for use in this type of outlet
should be inserted into any 12 Volt outlet.
• Do not touch with wet hands.
• Close the lid when not in use and while driving the
vehicle.
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
•If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric
shock and failure.
CAUTION!
• Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power
from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e.,
cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long
enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge suffi-
ciently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
vehicle from moving.
• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the battery
even more quickly. Only use these intermittently and
with great caution.
• After the use of high power draw accessories, or long
periods of the vehicle not being charged (with acces-
sories still plugged in), the vehicle will likely need to
be charged.

TIRE SERVICE KIT — IF EQUIPPED
Small punctures up to 1/4 inch (6 mm) in the tire tread can
be sealed with Tire Service Kit. Foreign objects (e.g., screws
or nails) should not be removed from the tire. Tire Service
Kit can be used in outside temperatures down to approxi-
mately -4°F (-20°C).
This kit will provide a temporary tire seal, allowing you to
drive your vehicle up to 100 miles (160 km) with a
maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
Tire Service Kit Storage
The Tire Service Kit is located in the rear cargo area.Tire Service Kit Location

area (located on top of the housing).
7. Return the Tire Service Kit to its storage location in the vehicle.
JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE (12 VOLT BATTERY
ONLY)
If your vehicle has a discharged 12 Volt battery, it can be
jump started using a set of jumper cables and a battery in
another vehicle or by using a portable battery booster pack.
Jump starting can be dangerous if done improperly so
please follow the procedures in this section carefully.
NOTE: When using a portable battery booster pack, follow
the manufacturer ’s operating instructions and precautions.
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump starting if the battery is frozen. It
could rupture or explode and cause personal injury.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other
booster source with a system voltage greater than 12
Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor, alternator
or electrical system may occur.
Preparations For Jump Start
The battery in your vehicle is located in the underhood
compartment under the beauty cover. To access the battery
pull upward on the cover.

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
Manual Park Release is available. If a dead 12 volt battery
is the cause of the condition refer to “Jump Starting
Procedure — 12 Volt Battery” before performing the
Manual Park Release.
To perform the Manual Park Release follow these steps:
1. To prevent the vehicle from rolling unintentionally, firmly apply the parking brake.
2. If possible, raise the front driver’s side of the vehicle to provide access to the transmission. 3. Working from underneath the vehicle, remove the black
rubber plug from the front of the Park Module (a black
canister mounted on the front of the transmission).
4. Using a T25 driver bit, rotate the Manual Park Release shaft (located just behind the rubber plug) clockwise, at
least 20 turns, to release the Park Mechanism. The
vehicle is now out of PARK and can be moved.
5. Reinstall the rubber plug.
