Excellent -- thanks for all the clarification, now it makes sense. I don't have the pre-teen available (carpool situation), but I put my 52-pound son in the front seat and the "airbag OFF" light stayed *on*. Yay! Tomorrow we'll test the pre-teen. Thanks!

Here's what I see: The "OFF" light illuminates when I start up the car when the seat is empty. The "OFF" light also illuminates when I start up the car and my husband is sitting in the passenger seat. (Very unhelpful! -- I would have expected to see it in the first case (empty seat), but NOT...

I occasionally need to transport a pre-teen in the front passenger seat. (There are three car seats in the back for younger children.) For her to be safer, we want the airbag OFF. I tried to make sense of the owner's manual, with no luck. It claims that it auto-detects a small passenger and...

Ha! (Thanks!!)

There are two lights above the front seat. One on the driver side, and one on the passenger side. All of a sudden, the light above the passenger seat refuses to turn off! The switch in the middle has three settings: ON, DOOR, OFF. No matter which setting I choose, the right side light stays...

The DMV sent back my original application and my original check, and claimed the decals were issued on 5/12. (Which happens to be the day my parking decal was issued.) Since they never cashed the check, I think whoever processed it was confused by the parking decal. Hmpf. So...I am sending...

I had my Recall work done on Friday. Ever since then, when I park at home and plug my car into my AV Charging Dock, I get the "don't forget to plug-in email" from CarWings 5 minutes later. (However the car is plugged in, and it charges overnight as it should.) If I plug it in to my Blink...

How can you tell if your VIN is in the DMV database yet?

I have both the AV charging dock and the Blink Charging dock. I was out of town for 2.5 weeks and left them both on, but did not plug in the car. I have a dedicated meter that serves only the docks. Those two units used 11 kWh during the 17 days. (And since it is a time-of-use meter, more of...

I don't know if it is normal, but mine does the same thing.

Well it turns out the AV Unit is fine! What I forgot to check, in all my troubleshooting, was the breaker attached to the E9B Meter. It was apparently in some kind of halfway state. Enough to illuminate the "power present" light, but nothing else. I had only been flipping the breaker in the...

Ohhh....I liked that idea so I ran out to check, but no luck. So...if I have to hook up a 50 foot extension cord to use the L1 charger -- is that going to be an issue? Now if only my EV Project charging station had been installed, I wouldn't be stuck. I decided that I wanted to have both...

I've never tried it because I don't have a standard outlet anywhere near the car. It did arrive with a full charge from the dealer yesterday. Yes, it makes a solid click, and I am unable to pull it out unless I press the release button. CarWings has always shown a red box around the plug...

I just picked up my LEAF yesterday. (Yay!) However, I can't get it to charge with my AV Unit. (Boo!) I see the "Power Present" light on the dock, and when I plug in the car I hear the beep. However... - no other lights ever turn on on the dock - no lights ever display on the car I have...

Oh, I hope it is mine! I received the "7 day" email yesterday, and I am waiting on a white one from Boardwalk.
