•Lithium-ion batteries can be recharged and discharged
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 an authorized dealer.
WARNING!
Never try to remove the high voltage battery service
disconnect. The high voltage battery 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 an authorized dealer for informa-
tion on the disposal of the battery if it should require
replacement. General Information
The vehicle is also equipped with a Battery Management
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.

E-Park is activated when the driver pushes the PARK
button. An electric motor activates the parking pawl and
locks the single-speed transmission when the vehicle is
placed into PARK. This will prevent any unwanted move-
ment of the vehicle.
NOTE:The engagement of the E-Park can be heard when
there is no noise in the interior of the vehicle, this is a
normal condition.
Climate Control (HVAC System)
Your 500e is equipped with an Automatic Temperature
Control (ATC) HVAC system. This HVAC system utilizes a
humidity sensor, cabin sensor, and ambient temperature
sensor to choose operation mode and control cabin com-
fort. These components allow the controller to operate the
HVAC system in a very efficient manner to maximize
driving range.
Your 500e also uses an electric air heater to provide heat to
the cabin.
Electric Air Conditioning Compressor
Your 500e uses an electric air conditioning compressor. The
air conditioning compressor is powered by the high volt-
age battery system and is used to cool the vehicle occu-
pants and the high voltage battery while the vehicle is
being driven or when it is being charged.
The high voltage battery may require cooling to keep the
vehicle running. The air conditioning compressor activates
without any input from the occupant.
NOTE: The AC system helps cool the high voltage battery.
If the air conditioning system should require service, see an
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Electric Power Steering
Your vehicle is equipped with an Electric Power Steering
(EPS) system. The power steering system requires no
maintenance and operates without the use of power steer-
ing fluid.
