Single-Speed Transmission; Auto Park; E-Park - Fiat 500e Owner's Manual

The audible warning system uses an in-car sound syn-
thesizer with a speaker located in the underhood com-
partment. The warning system is automatically activated
when selecting DRIVE or REVERSE.
In DRIVE range, the system will remain active until the
vehicle reaches a speed of approximately 22 mph. At
approximately 22 mph (35.5 km/h) the warning system is
deactivated and will automatically be active when the
vehicle returns to approximately 20 mph (32 km/h).

Single-Speed Transmission

Instead of a traditional transmission, your vehicle is
equipped with a single-speed transmission to transfer the
torque from the E-Drive motor to the drive wheels. This
transmission requires no maintenance and is designed to
operate for the life of the vehicle.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 15

Auto Park

Auto Park will automatically place the transmission into
PARK if there is an indication that the driver may leave
the vehicle while still in the DRIVE, NEUTRAL or
REVERSE gear. Refer to "Single-Speed Transmission" in
"Starting and Operating" for further information on this
feature.

E-Park

The parking pawl is traditionally located inside an auto-
matic transmission and activated when the vehicle is
placed in the PARK position.
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
movement of the vehicle.
