instrument cluster FIAT 500E 2015 2.G Owner's Manual

The 500e uses high voltage components to heat and cool
the cabin, so when using automatic climate control,
consider setting temperatures a few degrees higher or
lower during hot and cold days. If your 500e has been
soaking in hot or cold temperatures for an extended
period, it is recommended that the car be preconditioned
using the FIAT Access smartphone app while still
plugged into a charging source. This will allow 500e to
use external power to establish a comfortable cabin
temperature 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 high-
way, 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.

Cleaning Plastic Instrument Cluster Lenses
The lenses in front of the instruments in this vehicle are
molded in clear plastic. When cleaning the lenses, care
must be taken to avoid scratching the plastic.
1. Clean with a wet soft rag. A mild soap solution may be
used, but do not use high alcohol content or abrasive
cleaners. If soap is used, wipe clean with a clean damp
rag.
2. Dry with a soft cloth.
Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with chemical
solvents or abrasive cleaners. This will weaken the fabric.
Sun damage can also weaken the fabric.
If the belts need cleaning, use a mild soap solution or
lukewarm water. Do not remove the belts from the car to
wash them. Dry with a soft cloth.
Replace the belts if they appear frayed or worn or if the
buckles do not work properly.
WARNING!
A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and
leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system
periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts.
Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do
not disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt
assemblies must be replaced after a collision if they
have been damaged (i.e., bent retractor, torn web-
bing, etc.).
