IMPORTANT VEHICLE INFORMATION

• Your 500e operates entirely on electricity stored in the high voltage battery. Unlike a con-

ventional vehicle or Hybrid there is no internal combustion engine. Battery ElectricVe-

hicles have unique operating characteristics that you should become familiar with to en-

sure you are getting the optimal performance from your vehicle.

High Voltage Battery

• Your vehicle is equipped with a Lithium-ion high voltage battery that is used to power

the electric powertrain systems and the 12Volt vehicle electrical system.

• The high voltage battery is located under the vehicle.The high voltage battery is mainte-

nance free and designed to last for the life of the vehicle.

Lithium-ion batteries provide the following

benefits:

• Lithium-ion batteries are much lighter

than other types of rechargeable batteries

of the same size.

• Lithium-ion batteries hold their charge;

they only lose approximately 3% of their

charge per month.

• Lithium-ion batteries have no memory,

which means that you do not have to

completely discharge them before re-

charging, as with some other batteries.

• Lithium-ion batteries can be recharged

and discharged thousands of times.

High Voltage Battery Service Disconnect

• The high voltage battery service discon-

nect is located under the rear passenger

seat lower cushion. If your vehicle re-

quires service see your authorized studio.

Disposal of the High Voltage Battery

• Your vehicle’s high voltage battery is designed to last the life of your vehicle. See your

authorized studio for information on the disposal of the battery if it should require

replacement.
