Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my i-MiEV show reduced range as it ages, and does the manual cover battery diagnosis?
Lithium-ion capacity fade is the most common long-term complaint on the i-MiEV. The manual includes detailed cell-module inspection sequences, capacity measurement procedures, and SOC/SOH diagnostic steps so you can identify degraded modules before committing to a full pack replacement.
Is the i-MiEV related to the Citroën C-Zero or Peugeot iOn?
Yes. All three share the HA3W platform and are mechanically identical. This manual’s powertrain and electrical content applies directly to the C-Zero and iOn, though trim-specific wiring for those European variants may differ slightly.
Are high-voltage safety procedures included for DIY technicians?
Absolutely. Every high-voltage service section opens with HV system shutdown sequences, personal protective equipment requirements, and interlock verification steps — essential reading before touching any orange-cable component on the i-MiEV.
What format is the manual?
The manual is delivered as an HTML file — open it in any modern web browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, tablet, or smartphone. It is fully keyword-searchable and individual pages can be printed for bench use.
