WARNING!
•Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss of vehicle control and increase the
risk of serious personal injury.
•Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the driver foot well while the ve-
hicle is moving.Objects can become trapped under the brake pedal and accelera-
tor pedal causing a loss of vehicle control.
•Failure to properly follow floor mat installation or mounting can cause interference
with the brake pedal and accelerator pedal operation causing loss of control of
the vehicle.
•Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.Al-
lowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of rea-
sons.A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured.Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift buttons.
•Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to chil-
dren.A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
•Never use the ‘PARK’ position as a substitute for the parking brake.Always apply
the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and pos-
sible injury or damage.
•Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
USE OF AFTERMARKET PRODUCTS (ELECTRONICS)
The use of aftermarket devices including cell phones, MP3 players, GPS systems, or char-
gers may affect the performance of on-board wireless features.If you are experiencing
difficulties with any of your wireless features, try disconnecting your aftermarket devices
to see if the situation improves.If your symptoms persist, please see an authorized dealer.

STARTING YOUR 500e
•Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors,
and fasten your seat belts.
WARNING!
•Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
•Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of rea-
sons.A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured.Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift buttons.
•Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible to chil-
dren).A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
NOTE:
Make sure the EVSE is not plugged into the vehicle.
•Turn the key to the START position while your vehicle is in PARK.When the ignition
key is turned to the START and then the RUN position, the “READY” indicator in the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will illuminate to indicate the 500e's Elec-
tric Drive System has started.
•When the “READY” indicator is illuminated, your 500e is ready to be driven.
•If the “READY” indicator fails to illumi-
nate after you have followed the normal
starting procedure, contact your autho-
rized dealer.
NOTE:
You must push the brake pedal before
shifting out of PARK.

•After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
•Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed.If you are involved in an-
other collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
•If it is necessary to modify the air bag system for persons with disabilities, contact your
authorized dealer.
•Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD regarding the Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem (SRS) for further details.
Supplemental Knee Air Bags
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag mounted in the instru-
ment panel below the steering column.The Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag provides
enhanced protection during a frontal impact by working together with the seat belts, pre-
tensioners, and Advanced Front Air Bags.
WARNING!
•Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.The
air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly.In some collisions, the
air bags won't deploy at all.Always wear your seat belts even though you have air
bags.
•Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front
Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death.Air bags need
room to inflate.Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering
wheel or instrument panel.
•No objects should be placed over or near the air bag on the instrument panel or
steering wheel because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
collision severe enough to cause the air bag to inflate.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
•This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs) located
in the outboard side of the front seats.The SABs are marked with a SRS AIRBAG or
AIRBAG label sewn into the outboard side of the seats.
•This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABICs)
located above the side windows.The trim covering the SABICs is labeled SRS AIRBAG
or AIRBAG.The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or complete ejection of
vehicle occupants through side windows in cer tain side impact events.
•The SABICs and SABs (“Side Air Bags”) are designed to activate in certain side im-
pacts.The Occupant Restraint Controller (“ORC”) determines whether the deploy-
ment of the Side Air Bags in a particular impact event is appropriate, based on the
severity and type of collision.Vehicle damage by itself is not a good indicator of
whether or not Side Air Bags should have deployed.
GETTING STARTED
23

WARNING!
•Side Air Bags need room to inflate.Do not lean against the door or window.Sit
upright in the center of the seat.
•Being too close to the Side Air Bags during deployment could cause you to be
severely injured or killed.
•Relying on the Side Air Bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.
The Side Air Bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly.In some colli-
sions, Side Air Bags won’t deploy at all.Always wear your seat belt even though
you have Side Air Bags.
•This vehicle is equipped with left and right Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABICs).Do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block
the deployment of the SABICs.The trim covering above the side windows where
the SABIC and its deployment path are located should remain free from any ob-
structions.
•This vehicle is equipped with SABICs.In order for the SABICs to work as in-
tended, do not install any accessory items in your vehicle which could alter the
roof.Do not add an aftermarket sunroof to your vehicle.Do not add roof racks
that require permanent attachments (bolts or screws) for installation on the ve-
hicle roof.Do not drill into the roof of the vehicle for any reason.
•Do not use accessory seat covers or place objects between you and the Side Air
Bags; the performance could be adversely affected and/or objects could be pushed
into you, causing serious injury.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available.
According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats
rather than in the front.
Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in
proper restraint systems.This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
NOTE:
•For additional information, refer to www.Seatcheck.org or call 1-866-SEATCHECK.
•Canadian residents should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional informa-
tion: http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/motorvehiclesafety/safedrivers-childsafety-index-53.htm

called “Express Open.” During Express
Open operation, any movement of the
sunroof switch will stop the sunroof.

tion, pull the power sunroof button and

Sun Shade
•For vehicles equipped with either a power sunroof or a fixed glass roof, there is a sun
shade that can be open or closed.To open the sun shade push the tab and move the
shade to a full open position.
WARNING!
•Do not let children play with the sunroof, or leave children unattended in the ve-
hicle, and do not leave the key in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible
to children).Occupants, particularly unattended children, can become entrapped by
the power sunroof while operating the power sunroof switch.Such entrapment
may result in serious injury or death.
•In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open
sunroof.You could also be seriously injured or killed.Always fasten your seat belt
properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured.
•Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof.Never allow your fingers,
other body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening.Injury
may result.
WIND BUFFETING
•Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound.If buffeting
occurs with the windows down, or top down (convertible models), adjust one or both
side windows up or down slightly.
