Fiat 500e
Vehicle description
The Fiat 500e is a true Italian charmer, which has grown considerably in the years since its introduction (1957), and for the first time (in Europe) it also received a fully electric drive. It is distinguished by a bunch of excellent features, and at first glance, its appearance certainly stands out with a typical Italian touch, which excites the hearts of both female and male audiences.
We are talking about chic, "stylish", responsive (118 'horsepower'), agile and well equiped (autonomous driving - 2nd level, speed limits warning, auto aircon, navigation, screen mirroring, wireless charging and a bunch of others goodies) vehicle with a powerful battery (42 kWh) and up to 320 kilometers of range.
Another ‘perk’: The 500 has various driving programs, from the usual, where the vehicle "glides” on the road with almost no regenerative braking, to the range mode, where the vehicle can be driven with only one pedal. For special cases, the sherpa program is available, which, analogous to the name, provides the longest possible range, excluding all non-essential consumers (e.g. air conditioning) and limiting the vehicle's power (to 77 'horsepower') and speed (to 80 km/h).

Starting the Vehicle
To start the vehicle, press the brake pedal and hold the START/STOP button for a few seconds until you hear an audible warning (beep).
Adjusting the Steering Wheel and Mirrors
The steering wheel can be adjusted for height and depth. There is a lever on the lower part of the steering column that you can push down to make adjustments.
To adjust the mirrors, use the arrow button located on the driver's door. For the left mirror, rotate the arrow button to the left, then press the corresponding arrows to adjust its position. The same process applies to the right mirror.
Changing Gears
All our vehicles feature an automatic transmission. To change gears, press the brake pedal and then press the appropriate button on the center console:
P (Park): Used when parking or turning the vehicle on or off.
R (Reverse): Used for reversing.
N (Neutral): Idle mode, commonly used in situations like a car wash.
D (Drive): Used for driving forward.
Driving Modes
There is an e-MODE button on the center console that you can move slightly up or down to select the driving mode. The currently selected mode will be displayed on the dashboard.
The Fiat 500-e has three driving modes:
NORMAL Mode: Standard driving conditions.
RANGE Mode: Optimizes battery consumption and allows for one-pedal driving, where the vehicle slows down once you release the accelerator pedal.
SHERPA Mode: Maximizes battery savings and one-pedal driving, slowing down even more when you release the accelerator. This mode also turns off air conditioning and other energy-consuming features when the battery charge is low—recommended when you're near the end of your battery life and need to reach the next charging station.
Charging the Vehicle
To charge the vehicle, retrieve the appropriate cable from the trunk. Open the charging socket flap by gently pressing it. Connect one end of the cable to the vehicle and the other end to the charging station.
To stop charging, press the button with the lock icon next to the socket. Then, unplug the cable from the vehicle and the charging station. After charging is complete, store the cable in the luggage compartment and close the charging flap.
Ending the Trip
When you finish your trip, move the gear lever to P (Park) and engage the handbrake.
If you don't want to end the rental just yet, take the vehicle key with you and lock the vehicle using the button on the key.
If you wish to end the rental, return the vehicle key to its designated location by inserting the key fob/chip into the illuminated box in the glove compartment on the passenger side.
Next, lock the vehicle via the Avant2Go app and follow the steps to officially conclude the rental.
