The battery is charged by connecting  
the charging socket of the car to the  
mains power supply using the charging  
cable. The battery is charged by  
connecting the charging socket of the  
car to the mains power supply using  
the charging cable.  
OPERATING  
PRINCIPLE  
The propulsion system of the New 500  
is completely powered by the energy  
contained in the high-voltage lithium-  
ion rechargeable battery of the car.  
Unlike conventional or hybrid cars,  
there is no internal combustion engine  
in this car.  
The high-voltage battery is also  
partially recharged while driving during  
deceleration or braking. During this  
steps, the battery is recharged by  
regeneration via the electric motor. This  
is an efficient way of recharging as the  
kinetic energy of the car is used and  
converted into electric charging energy.  
Electric cars have specific  
The New 500 uses the electrical energy  
stored in the high-voltage battery  
and not fuel. This battery provides  
the energy needed to start moving  
and therefore needs to be recharged  
before use. If the high-voltage battery is  
completely flat the car will not start.  
This car also has a 12V battery of the  
same type as those used by cars with  
internal combustion engines. If the 12V  
battery is completely flat the car will not  
start.  
characteristics of use, which is useful  
to know, in order to achieve optimal  
performance.  
This car respects the environment  
because it does not emit exhaust  
gases and therefore has zero CO  
The 12V battery supplies power to the  
conventional electrical system: lights,  
windscreen wipers, restraint systems  
(airbags and pretensioners), sound  
system, etc.

emissions.  
The high-voltage battery supplies  
power to the electric motor and  
supplies the high-voltage auxiliary  
devices (heaters, electric climate  
compressor, etc.). The electronic  
converter that powers the 12V system  
for general car operation is also

to be disposed of.  
HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY  
The high-voltage battery is located at  
the bottom of the car in a central area  
aꢀnd is maintenance-free.  
The high-voltage battery is equipped  
with conditioning systems that ensure  
that it operates under the best  
temperature conditions appropriate to  
its operation.  
GENERAL INFORMATION  
The car is also equipped with a battery  
management system designed to:  
ensure safe operation  
optimise driving range  
optimise the working life of the high-  
voltage battery  
1)  
The car is equipped with a safety  
device that inhibits the activation of the  
high-voltage system. This device is  
normally used by Fiat Dealerships to  
repair and service the car.  
1)  
NOTE You can hear a click from inside  
the car when the motor is starting  
and switching it off. When the ignition  
device is in the ENGINE position, the  
high-voltage battery contactors are  
closed to allow the distribution of the  
accumulated electricity to use the car.  
This typical sound is the noise of these  
contactors opening and closing and is  
normal for the car.

HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY  
DISPOSAL  
The high-voltage battery is lithium-ion.  
Lithium-ion batteries provide the  
following benefits:  
The high-voltage battery is designed  
to last for the lifetime of the car. If it  
is necessary to replace the battery,  
please contact a Fiat Dealership for  
information on disposal.  
If the temperature of the high-voltage  
battery is below -10°C, or above 40°C,  
some car functions may change or turn  
off as battery performance decreases  
outside this temperature range.  
are much lighter than other types of  
chargeable batteries of the same size;  
keep the charge longer;  
have no memory, i.e. it is not  
necessary to discharge them  
completely before recharging, as is the  
case with other types of batteries;  
can be recharged and discharged,  
charging times vary depending on  
home or public charging mode and  
power.  
NOTE The car is provided with a  
high-voltage lithium-ion battery.  
Inappropriate disposal of this type  
of battery carries a risk of serious  
burns, electric shock and damage  
to the environment. In accordance  
with national and international battery  
regulations, the Manufacturer an  
adequate collection of this component  
in cooperation with qualified operators  
OPERATING MODE  
As with a car with automatic  
transmission, you must get used to  
not using your left foot to activate the  
clutch pedal which is not present. While  
driving, when you lift your foot off the  
accelerator pedal or when you press  
the brake pedal during deceleration,  
the motor generates electric current  
The high-voltage battery of the New  
500 in the larger version (with more  
energy) has a nominal voltage of 350V,  
16  
which is used to brake the car and  
recharge the high-voltage battery.  
Refer to the "eBraking mode" chapter  
in the "Starting and driving" section.  
Special case: after the high-voltage  
battery has been fully recharged  
and during the first kilometres of  
use of the car, the exhaust brake is  
in a temporary condition of reduced  
effectiveness. Adapt your driving  
accordingly.  
When the motor is started, the system  
usually maintains the driving mode that  
was active before the car was stopped.  
The standard operating mode is  
"NORMAL". Pull and release the  
selector once to activate "RANGE"  
mode. Pulling and releasing the  
selector switch a second time activates  
the "SHERPA" mode. To return to  
"RANGE" mode, push the switch  
towards the dashboard and release it  
once, to return to "NORMAL" mode,  
push and release it a second time.  
Driving mode selection is not available  
in "Performance limitation - Turtle  
mode".  
this mode, the energy consumption of  
the car depends on the driving style.  
In "NORMAL" mode, when the  
accelerator pedal is released, the car  
slows down with an motor braking  
effect similar to that of a conventional  
vehicle. During this phase, the high-  
voltage battery is partially recharged  
(regeneration).  
In "NORMAL", when the one-speed  
transmission is on D, to keep the car  
stationary press the brake pedal ("One  
Pedal Driving" not available).  
5) 6) 7)  
While driving, you can activate the  
selector (A) fig. 7 located on the central  
tunnel. This device allows you to set  
three different driving modes according  
to the driver's needs:  
The "creeping" function is also  
available. The car will start to move  
forward (with transmission in "D") or  
backward (with transmission in "R")  
when the brake pedal is released. The  
accelerator should not be pressed in  
this case.  
NORMAL  
RANGE  
SHERPA  
Via the on board electronics, the  
device acts on the dynamic control  
system of the car (motor, ESC system),  
interfacing the instrument panel as well.  
The selector is of "hold to operate"  
type, returning to the central position  
when released. Engagement of the  
required driving mode is indicated on  
the instrument panel display with a  
dedicated message. The system does  
not allow you to change the driving  
mode when you drastically reduce the  
performance of the electric motor (see  
paragraph on performance limitations).  
"RANGE" mode  
In "RANGE" mode, the car continues to  
have no speed restrictions but offers  
comfortable handling with a smoother  
response to accelerator pedal  
pressure. This mode helps to adopt a  
driving style aimed at maximising the  
range.

"NORMAL" mode  
In the "NORMAL" operating mode, the  
car has no performance limitations and  
can be driven fast using all the power  
and torque of the traction system. In

on which it is supplied. If used outside  
the car or modified, accidents such as  
electric shock, heat or smoke generation,  
explosion or electrolyte leakage may  
occur.  
3) If the car is scrapped without removing  
the high-voltage battery, contact with  
high-voltage components, cables and  
connectors could cause very dangerous  
electric shock.  
4) If the high-voltage battery is not  
disposed of properly, it may cause electric  
shock, resulting in serious injury or death.  
5) Under no circumstances may the motor  
brake replace pressing the brake pedal.  
6) In case of bad weather and flooded  
roads: Do not drive on a flooded street if  
the water level exceeds the lower part of  
the wheel rims.  
7) Due to the quiet operation of your  
electric car, always set the speed selector  
switch to P and engage the electric  
parking brake and stop the motor before  
leaving the car. DANGER OF SERIOUS  
INJURY.  
The climate control system is  
deactivated, and the fan and quick  
defrosting may be activated. The  
heated rear window, windscreen,  
mirrors and seats are deactivated  
automatically (but can be reactivated  
manually if necessary).  
Aggressive or extreme use of the car  
(for example: repeated braking and  
acceleration events in rapid succession  
over a long interval of time) require  
much power to the high-voltage  
battery; in such cases, to preserve  
its integrity and durability, the car  
may adopt a "Recovery" strategy  
with performance and acceleration  
limitation. The car's performance will be  
fully restored after a few minutes. This  
behaviour of the car is not intended as  
a fault or malfunction.

IMPORTANT  
1) The propulsion system of the electric  
car is connected by the high-voltage  
battery and when the system is active the  
components are then powered at high-  
voltage. Observe the warning messages  
on the labels on the car when accessing  
the motor compartment. Any intervention  
or modification on the high-voltage  
electrical system of the car (components,  
cables, connectors, high-voltage battery) is  
strictly forbidden due to the risks it may  
imply for your safety. In this case, contact  
a Fiat Dealership. Tampering with the  
high-voltage system can lead to serious  
burns or electrical discharges with even  
fatal consequences.  
NOTE “Turtle" mode speed limitations  
are activated as soon as the speed of  
the car is below 70 km/h. Turtle mode  
speed limits are disabled when the  
Speed Limiter or the Cruise Control are  
active or with the accelerator pedal fully  
pressed.

Use of specific products is  
recommended for washing the soft top  
cloth.  
To lower the spoiler, press and move  
the slider to position fig. 65 to lock it  
once the slider’s catch is positioned  
inside its housing (1) fig. 64.  
Release the backrest of the rear seat  
(single or split).  
The soft top fabric is treated with a  
special water-repellent, waterproof  
product. The water-repellent properties  
will degrade in time with exposure to  
the weather elements. Observe the  
following instructions.  
Attach the Wind Stop by inserting  
the central part inside the rear screen  
guard, with the concave part in the  
direction of the passenger, as shown in  
fig. 63;  
62  
Remove as much dirt from the surface  
of the soft top with a soft brush or  
vacuum cleaning before washing  
it. This operation will considerably  
improve the final result.  
Use common, care mild stain removers  
that can be purchased from car  
cleaning product ranges to remove  
more stubborn stains. Apply by blotting  
(never rubbing) directly on the area of  
the stain.  
18) Bird droppings and plant resins must  
be washed off immediately and thoroughly  
from the soft top as the acid they contain  
is particularly aggressive.  
19) Never use high-pressure washing  
systems.  
In lack of specific products, use water  
and neutral soap applied with a sponge  
(preferably in the shade) for washing.  
Rinse the soft top with clean water after  
having eliminated all the stains.  
Hand washing is recommended;  
modern automatic washing systems  
equipped with soft brushes which  
do not apply excessive pressure and  
employ specific soft top products may  
be used.  
20) When using steam washers or  
high-pressure water washers, maintain  
a suitable distance and do not exceed a  
maximum temperature of 60°C. Damage,  
alterations and water infiltration may  
occur if the distance is too small and the  
pressure is too high.  
21) If a water jet is used, direct away  
from the edges of the fabric and the rear  
window frame to prevent water infiltration.  
22) Never use alcohol, petrol, chemical  
products, detergents, stain removers, wax,  
solvents and "wash and polish" products.  
23) Rinse immediately to remove soap  
to prevent stains. Repeat the operation if  
needed.  
24) Follow the instructions on the  
waterproofing product container for  
perfect results.  
25) The rubber seals on the soft top  
must be cleaned exclusively with water.  
If you notice that this trim is dry or is  
sticking, apply talcum powder or products  
specifically for rubber trim (silicone spray).  
IMPORTANT  
32) Keep hands away from the top  
mechanism while opening and closing the  
top or if the top stops in a position before  
completing the cycle to prevent damage  
and injury.  
33) Keep children away from the area in  
which the top is folding during opening or  
closing operations.  
34) When leaving the car, turn the ignition  
device to STOP and always take the  
electronic key with you to avoid the risk of  
injury due to accidental operation of the  
soft top. Improper use may be dangerous.  
Before and during operation, always check  
that no-one is at risk of being injured by  
the moving soft top or by objects getting  
caught and dragged by it.  
Leave the car in the shade after  
washing avoiding direct sunlight.  
Waterproofing the soft top  
Use specific waterproofing products for  
fabric soft tops.  
Interior soft top fabric  
Remove dust with a soft brush. Avoid  
using hard brushes made of synthetic  
material to prevent damaging the fabric  
beyond repair.  
WARNING  
Clean the surface with a microfibre  
cloth or soft sponge dipped in a  
solution of water and neutral soap.  
Clean the entire surface, including the  
zones where cleaning is not needed, to  
prevent staining.  
15) Never open the top in presence of  
snow or ice to prevent damage.  
16) Do not place objects on the rear  
window shelf to prevent damage while the  
top is closing.  
17) Loads may not be secured on the roof.
