12. Yes, the static will zap you, but I've come around to enjoy it in a strange way. It's become a parting handshake and expected. Yeah i know, and my friends do too.....

so how did i do it before? any thoughts?
Hmm, all I've ever heard is when I push the button on the car handle is a click or clunk, the same sound when locking or unlocking. The beep sounds when using the fob, which I don't do when my hands are full.planet4ever said:I have never taken the fob out of my pocket, not once. Well, except when I change pants. The button thing should be no problem -- one beep = unlock, two beeps = lock.

Same here. It's quick and easy so I don't see this as an annoyance. When I exit the car with this arrangement (fan only) and later check on Carwings for range it shows only a 1 mi. difference with climate control on. Normally the difference is much greater. So it knows that as of that moment climate control consists only of the fan. It must have a memory of how much power draw the climate control was using when the car was turned off.rawhog said:When I hit the fan speed button the A/C comes on. I then just hit the A/C button. Turns off A/C but keeps the fan fan running for "free-cooling mode).

It's early yet, but zero static with the Wet Okole seat covers. :mrgreen:
Try removing just the left rear headrest. For me, it's the only one that really gets in the way. (And it fits nicely into the cargo organizer.)KLQL8N said:I had to remove the back head rests for better visability!!
In the Owners Manual there's a section on timers and it talks about setting priority to charging or priority to climate control, and what happens in various cases. I haven't tried it out myself since I mostly just use low fan and/or open window for climate control.I am having frustration with scheduling Climate Control.
Also, what timer gets priority, the CAR or my BLINK charging station?
mbutter said:(1) Rear seatbelts! My 7 yr. old daughter struggles to buckle her belt everyday,and we often end up having to help her. Other (adult) passengers also seem to have a bit of trouble with the rear belts. You *must* use two hands to keep the buckle from 'smashing' below the level of the seat, and can get a bit awkward if you have a booster seat. My daughter never had issues buckling up in our Prius or 4Runner.
(2) The 'whimper honk' when I lock the car from my remote. I like a crisp 'chirp'.
Can probably think of more, but those are the first to come to mind.
Overall, I love our Leaf and have to accept some quirks with the good!
Rat said:The warning alert system is inadequate. The other day after pulling away from a shopping trip I noticed a small ding every so often, so soft I barely heard it (I was listening to an audiobook on CD). Then I noticed a warning triangle in the upper dash. The car drove okay and all the gauges read normal. I looked and looked for some visible indicator as to what was wrong and saw none. I quickly pulled over to the curb and parked, leaving the car running, then looked at every single display on the dash and on the touchscreen. Nothing except that lighted triangle. Finally I started paging through the lower dash info screen. I had to go 3 or 4 pushes on the upper left button before getting a screen that had an option that said warnings, or something of that nature as the second (lower) choice. I then had to remember to push the upper right button to make the selection change to go down (counterintuitive!), then hit the upper left button again to select. Finally that caused a diagram of the car to appear in the lower dash area with a highlight on the rear hatch. I got out and reclosed the rear hatch (where I had placed my purchases and which I had thought was securely closed). The warning went away. Why in heck don't they make that diagram of the car with the highlighted open door appear automatically on the dash like every other car without having to go through all that? The tone should be louder and and the menu navigation buttons should be more intuitive, too.
