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 keeps things smooth and steady for most

efficient operation.When driving, avoid aggressive driving styles and high speeds for ex-

tended 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 awareness

can go a long way to extend range.When using automatic climate control, consider set-

ting 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 mobile application while still plugged into a charg-

ing 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.

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

strument cluster.The gauge contains three driving ranges:

Power

• The gauge will move into the Power range when under acceleration.

ECO

• The gauge will move into the ECO range when you are maximizing the driving range of

the high voltage battery.
