500e ELECTRIC VEHICLE FEATURES
Understanding the unique characteristics of your 500e will
help ensure maximum performance and the best driving
range from your vehicle.
Your 500e is equipped with two electrical systems; a 12 Volt
system that is used to power the conventional electrical
system and a high voltage system, which is used to drive
the wheels through a single-speed transmission as well as
other high voltage system components.
Your 500e operates differently then a traditional vehicle or
Hybrid vehicle. Here are some of the main differences:
Audible Pedestrian Warning System
Your vehicle is equipped with an Audible Pedestrian
Warning System. The Audible Pedestrian Warning System
uses distinct sounds to alert pedestrians that your vehicle is
approaching.
The audible warning system uses an in-car sound synthe-
sizer with a speaker located in the underhood compart-
ment. The warning system is automatically activated when
selecting DRIVE or REVERSE.
In DRIVE range, the system will remain active until the
vehicle reaches a speed of approximately 22 mph(35.5 km/h). At approximately 22 mph (35.5 km/h), the
warning system is deactivated and will automatically be
active when the vehicle returns to approximately 20 mph
(32 km/h).
Single-Speed Transmission
Instead of a traditional transmission, your vehicle is
equipped with a single-speed transmission to transfer the
torque from the E-Drive motor to the drive wheels. This
transmission requires no maintenance and is designed to
operate for the life of the vehicle.
Auto Park
Auto Park will automatically place the transmission into
PARK if there is an indication that the driver may leave the
vehicle while still in the DRIVE, NEUTRAL or REVERSE
gear. Refer to “Single-Speed Transmission” in “Starting
And Operating” in your Owner ’s Manual for further
information.
E-Park
The parking pawl is traditionally located inside an auto-
matic transmission and activated when the vehicle is
placed in the PARK position.

column up or down as desired. Push the lever up to lock
the column firmly in place.
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while driving.
Adjusting the steering column while driving or driv-
ing with the steering column unlocked, could cause the
driver to lose control of the vehicle. Failure to follow
this warning may result in serious injury or death.

Spotter Mirror — If Equipped
Some models are equipped with a driver’s side spotter
mirror. The spotter mirror allows for a greater range of
visibility on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
Heated Mirrors — If Equipped
These mirrors are heated to melt frost or ice. This
feature will be activated whenever you turn on the
rear window defroster (if equipped). Refer to “Climate
Controls” in “Getting To Know Your Vehicle” for further
information.
EXTERIOR LIGHTS
Multifunction Lever
The multifunction lever, located on the left side of the
steering wheel, controls the operation of the headlights,
headlight beam selection, passing light and turn signals.

NOTE: The low beams and side/taillights will not be on
with DRL. If allowed by law in the country in which the vehicle was
purchased the DRL function can be turned on or off using
the display menus. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Mul-
timedia” for further information.
High Beams

tion lever towards the instrument panel to turn on
the high beams. Pull the multifunction lever toward the
steering wheel to turn off the high beams.
Flash-To-Pass

partially pulling the multifunction lever toward the steer-
ing wheel. This will cause the high beam headlights to turn
on until the lever is released.
