Extending Your Driving Range Per Charge - Fiat 500e Owner's Manual

NOTE: This vehicle must be towed on a flatbed or
vehicle trailer with the front wheels OFF the ground.
CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle in violation of the above require-
ments can cause severe transmission damage. Dam-
age from improper towing is not covered under the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

EXTENDING YOUR DRIVING RANGE PER CHARGE

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.
The 500e uses high voltage components to heat and cool
the cabin, so when using automatic climate control, con-
sider setting 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 using the
mobile application while still plugged into a charging
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 at
significantly less energy levels.
Additional tips:
• keep tires properly inflated
• When practical, choose surface streets over the high-
way, avoid stop and go driving 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
