hot or cold temperatures for an extended period, it is
recommended that the car be preconditioned using the
Uconnect smartphone app (not available in Canada) while
still plugged into a charging source. This will allow 500e to
use external power to establish a comfortable cabin tem-
perature before the drive and allow the battery to maintain
the temperature at significantly lower energy levels.
Additional tips:
•
Keep tires properly inflated.
•
When practical, choose surface streets over the highway,
and work to maintain a steady speed.
•
Avoid carrying nonessential cargo.
•
Be mindful of adding external accessories that may
increase aerodynamic drag.
•
Perform all scheduled maintenance at recommended
intervals.
Driver Behavior Gauge
To help the driver extend the driving range of the high
voltage battery your vehicle is equipped with a Driver
Behavior Gauge. The Driver Behavior Gauge is located on
the right side of the instrument cluster and contains three
driving ranges:
•
Power
The needle will move into the Power range when under
acceleration.
•
ECO
The needle will move into the ECO range when you are
maximizing the driving range of the high voltage battery.
•
Charge
The needle will move into the Charge range when battery
regeneration is active (either coasting or braking).
