FIAT 500E 2018 Owner's Manual

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 vehicle is
placed into PARK. This will prevent any unwanted move-
ment 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 utilizes a
humidity sensor, cabin sensor, and ambient temperature
sensor to choose operation mode and control cabin com-
fort. These components allow the controller to operate the
HVAC system in a very efficient 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 volt-
age battery system and is used to cool the vehicle occu-
pants and the high voltage battery while the vehicle 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 activates
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 an
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Electric Power Steering
Your vehicle is equipped with an Electric Power Steering
(EPS) system. The power steering system requires no
maintenance and operates without the use of power steer-
ing fluid.

WARNING!(Continued)
•Ensure that the EVSEs are always stored in a safe
place. Do not expose them to rain or wet conditions.
Avoid pouring or dipping water or other liquids over
them. If water penetrates the electrical device, the
risk or electrical shock increases. Ensure that all
plugs and cables are free of moisture before using
the EVSEs.
EVSE Charging Cordset
The EVSE charging cordset is compliant with SAE J1772,
and applicable for use with vehicles fitted with the stan-
dard SAE J1772 charge inlets. The EVSE includes:
• An AC Power Cord with NEMA 5–15p, Right Angle
plug
• An indoor/outdoor charge cable, EV- rated
• A Charge Connector
• A NEMA 6 rated enclosure with a Charge Current
Interrupt Device (CCID) with status indicator display
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

WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding con-
ductor 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 provided with the
product – if it does not fit the outlet, you must have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
2. Check to see if the charging cordset is ready to charge by reviewing the indicator lights. After a brief self-check, where the indicator light will flash, a green AC indicator
light and two green charge rate indicator lights indicate
that the cordset is ready for use.
3. If the charging cordset is ready to charge, ensure the vehicle is in PARK, and then connect the charge connec-
tor to the vehicle’s charge inlet. You will hear a “click”
when the charge connector is inserted correctly and
coupled with the vehicle’s charge inlet.

4. When the vehicle commences charging, the Charge RateIndicator Lights will cycle from left to right, and then
both turn off. This pattern will repeat while the vehicle
is charging. The lights are illuminated at the rate of
approximately one cycle per second.
NOTE: The vehicle should start charging automatically. If
not, please check the following:
•Charging Cordset - The charging cordset status indi-
cators illuminate green or red to identify the charging
cordset status. Refer to “Troubleshooting Using The Status Indicator Display” in this section for further
information on the charging cordset status.
• Wall Receptacle – Check whether the wall receptacle is
functional (no power outage) and/or plug the charg-
ing cordset into a different wall receptacle.
• Charging Schedule – Check whether or not the charg-
ing schedules have been enabled. If enabled, check
that you are within the scheduled time and date. If a
charging schedule has been enabled and you are
outside the time and date, you may override the
schedule for this charging event by plugging in the
charge connector, unplugging it, and then plugging it
back into the vehicle charge inlet. Complete the double
plug sequence within ten seconds for it to override the
set schedule.
5. To stop the charging process, disconnect the vehicle side connector first and then the charging cordset from the
wall receptacle. To disengage the vehicle coupler, push
the button on the charge connector (1) before removing
the connector from the vehicle charge inlet (2).

6. Close the inlet door.
NOTE:It is good practice to keep the ignition in the OFF
position while conducting Level 1 Charging. This mini-
mizes any additional vehicle loads the EVSE has to support
which extend the charging time.
Troubleshooting Using The Status Indicator Display
If the vehicle is not charging properly, consult the status
indicator lights. The
AC Power Indicator displays the status and safety of
the input power. If this indicator is green, the power is
within acceptable limits to charge the vehicle. If only the
AC Power Indicator is flashing red, then there is a problem
with the AC power at the electrical outlet. If the AC Power
Indicator does not return to green, then the outlet should
be inspected by a licensed electrician to ensure the voltage,
frequency, and grounding are complaint to national and
local electrical codes and ordinances. It may be possible to
attempt charging from a different outlet.
The Fault Indicator displays the status of the Portable
EVSE Cordset and the vehicle connection. The Portable
EVSE Cordset will not allow charging while the fault
indicator is red. If it is off, the Portable EVSE Cordset has
not detected any internal faults, or faults with the vehicle
connection. If the Fault Indicator is flashing red, there is a
fault detected either with the Portable EVSE Cordset,
electronics, or with the vehicle connection. The Portable
EVSE Cordset may attempt to retry to provide current to
the vehicle if the fault is cleared. If the Fault Indicator does
not attempt to provide charge to the vehicle, the charge
connector will need to be removed from the vehicle to clear
the fault.
Removing The Charge Connector From The Vehicle
Charge Inlet

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 27

The fault code list in the table below provides a reference
for the important faults that are detected by the Portable
EVSE Cordset. When a fault is detected, the AC Power
Indicator, the Fault Indicator, or both the AC Power and
Fault Indicators will flash red. If only the AC Power
Indicator is red, there is a problem on the AC Power side of
the unit. If only the Fault Indicator is flashing red, there is
a problem internal to the unit or with the vehicle. If both
the AC Power and Fault Indicators are flashing red, an over
temperature condition is detected at either the AC plug or
within the enclosure. Additional information about thefaults is provided by a fault code that is displayed on the
two green Charge Rate Indicators. The fault code consists
of four digits, each with a value of 1 or 2. The value of a
digit is the number of indicators illuminated for that part of
the sequence. For example, fault code (1, 2, 1, 1) will
display the following sequence: One indicator will illumi-
nate for (0.3 seconds), then two indicators will illuminate,
then one indicator, and finally one indicator will illumi-
nate. After all four fault code digits have been displayed,
the indicators will remain off for one second before repeat-
ing the sequence.
