To Disarm The System:
Push the Key Fob UNLOCK button or cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your vehicle.However, you can create
conditions where the Vehicle Security Alarm will give you a false alarm.If one of the pre-
viously described arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security Alarm will arm re-
gardless of whether you are in the vehicle or not.If you remain in the vehicle and open
a door, the alarm will sound.If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the battery becomes disconnected, the Vehicle
Security Alarm will remain armed when the battery is reconnected.The exterior lights
will flash, and the horn will sound.If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.

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.
Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact, if the communication network remains intact, and the power
remains intact, depending on the nature of the event, the ORC will determine whether
to have the Enhanced Accident Response System perform the following functions:
•Cut off battery power to the motor.
•Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power or until the hazard light button is
pressed.The hazard lights can be deactivated by pressing the hazard light button.
•Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has power.
•Unlock the power door locks.
Enhanced Accident Response System Reset Procedure
After an event occurs requiring activation of the Enhanced Accident Response System,
when the system is active, a “Service EV System” message” will be displayed on the in-
strument cluster.The vehicle is not drivable in this state and must be towed to an autho-
rized dealer immediately to be inspected and have the Enhanced Accident Response Sys-
tem reset.

EXTENDING YOUR DRIVING RANGE PER CHARGE
•A little knowledge will go a long way to extend your driving range on the 500e.First
and foremost understand that the drive system and cabin temperature management
features use the most energy from the high voltage battery.Reducing energy draw
from these features are the easiest and most effective way to extend driving range.
•Just like a conventional vehicle, 500e likes to keep things smooth and steady for most
efficient operation.When driving, avoid aggressive driving styles and high speeds for
extended times.When practical, choose surface streets over the highway, work to
maintain a steady speed to extend range.
•The 500e uses high voltage components to heat and cool the cabin, so a little aware-
ness can go a long way to extend range.When using automatic climate control, con-
sider 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 via the Uconnect 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 using significantly less energy during the drive.
Additional Tips:
•Keep tires properly inflated
•Avoid carrying nonessential cargo
•Be mindful of adding external accessories that may increase aerodynamic drag
•Perform all scheduled maintenance at recommended intervals
Driving Behavior Gauge
To help the driver extend the driving range of the high voltage battery your vehicle is
equipped with a Driving Behavior Gauge.The Driving Behavior Gauge is located on the
right side of the instrument cluster and displays three driving ranges:
Power
The Driving Behavior Gauge will move into
the Power range when under acceleration.
ECO
The Driving Behavior Gauge will move into
the ECO range when you are maximizing
the driving range of the high voltage bat-
tery.
Charge
The Driving Behavior Gauge will move into
the Charge range when battery regenera-
tion is active (either coasting or braking).

– Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the ve-
hicle placard or tire inflation pressure label.(If your vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your
tires is significantly under-inflated.Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illumi-
nates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure.Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat
and can lead to tire failure.Under-inflation also increases high voltage battery consump-
tion and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST
THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE
VEHICLE PLACARD OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE
DRIVER'S DOOR.
NOTE:
After inflation, the vehicle may need to be driven for 20 minutes before the flashing light
will turn off.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly.The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale.When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated.This se-
quence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended.TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of rea-
sons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function prop-
erly.
