4 INTRODUCTION

•Lithium-ion batteries can be recharged and dis-
charged 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 your authorized dealer.
WARNING!
Never try to remove the high voltage service dis-
connect. The high voltage 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 your authorized dealer for
information on the disposal of the battery if it should
require replacement. General Information
The vehicle is also equipped with a Battery Manage-
ment 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.
10 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

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 ve-
hicle is placed into PARK. This will prevent any un-
wanted movement 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 uti-
lizes a humidity sensor, cabin sensor, and ambient
temperature sensor to choose operation mode and
control cabin comfort. These components allow the
controller to operate the HVAC system in a very effi-
cient 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
voltage battery system and is used to cool the vehicle
occupants and the high voltage battery while the ve-
hicle 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
will activate 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 your Authorized Dealer as soon as possible.
Electric Power Steering
Your vehicle is equipped with an Electric Power Steer-
ing (EPS) system. The power steering system requires
no maintenance and operates without the use of power
steering fluid.
12 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:The charge inlet door locks and unlocks with
the vehicle doors.
AC Level 1 Charging (120V, 15 Amp)
Your vehicle is equipped with a 120 Volt AC, SAE J1772
Level 1 Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), also
referred to as a charging cordset. AC Level 1 charging
requires a conventional NEMA 5-15 120 Volt AC
grounded wall receptacle along with the charging cord-
set provided with the vehicle.
WARNING!
Shock, fire, property damage, or personal injury
may occur if the Portable EVSE Cordset is not used
properly. There are no serviceable parts contained
in the Portable EVSE Cordset. Any attempt to
service it may result in shock, fire, property dam-
age, or personal injury.
To access the charging cordset, remove the Level 1 EVSE
from its storage bin by lifting the rear cargo cover.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 15

Charging Cordset Operation
1. Plug the AC plug of the charging cordset into a 15A,or 20A, 120VAC, 60Hz, grounded wall receptacle. Do
not use an extension cord, outlet/plug adapter, or a
worn outlet. The charging cordset will not operate
safely unless it is plugged directly into the wall
receptacle.
WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor could result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if
you are in doubt as to whether the wall receptacle is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug pro-
vided with the product – if it does not fit the outlet,
you must have a proper outlet installed by a quali-
fied electrician.

Guidelines for preventing fire and electric shock:
•Ensure the charging cable is positioned so it will not
be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
• There are no user serviceable parts inside.
• Do not use the charging cordset if it is visibly
damaged. Contact your authorized dealer for service.

charge connector.
• Do not allow children to operate this device. Adult
supervision is mandatory when children are in prox-
imity when the charging cordset is in use.
NOTE: During normal operation, the charge connector
or AC plug may feel warm. If either one feels hot during
charging, unplug the charging cordset and have a
qualified electrician inspect the wall receptacle before
you continue charging.
WARNING!
Do not use the charging cordset with a receptacle
that is worn or damaged. Using the charging cordset

24 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

The system uses ignition keys which have an embedded
electronic chip (transponder) to prevent unauthorized
vehicle operation. Therefore, only keys that are pro-
grammed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate
the vehicle.
NOTE:A key which has not been programmed is also
considered an invalid key, even if it is cut to fit the
ignition switch lock cylinder for that vehicle.
If the vehicle security light is on after the key is turned
to the MAR (ACC/ON/RUN) position, it indicates that
there is a problem with the electronics.
CAUTION!
• Always remove the Sentry Key from the vehicle
and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.
• The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is not com-
patible with some aftermarket remote starting
systems. Use of these systems may result in
vehicle starting problems and loss of security
protection.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have
been programmed to the vehicle electronics.
Replacement Keys
NOTE: Only keys that have been programmed to the
vehicle electronics can be used to start the vehicle. Once
a Sentry Key has been programmed to a vehicle, it
cannot be programmed to any other vehicle. When
having the Sentry Key Immobilizer System serviced,
bring all vehicle keys with you to an authorized dealer.
The VIN is required for authorized dealer replacement
of keys. Duplication of keys may be performed at an
authorized dealer.
