    Passenger airbag disabled

    Confirmed this procedure does not work on 2013 models, at least not those with Nav. Has something to do with having to have weight sensor zeroed out while resetting. there's a recall on 2013 for something related to passenger airbags so I'll have them fix it then - though my lease is up in 10...

    range extender

    It's not an order of magnitude - it's about 25% less efficient. Works out to about 30 mpg - not great I admit. The small diesel gensets pencil out to about 40 mpg (or 36 mpg when corrected for carbon)

    How To: Reverse Backup Camera for SV Model w/ OEM Telematics

    Flashing Passenger Airbag Warning Light

    I had a 96 BMW wagon, I remember then you needed special tools just to reset oil chnge reminder. Wonder how much longer this will go on - hoping Tesla shakes things up and I plan to make my next car a tesla (I can dream :) )

    Flashing Passenger Airbag Warning Light

    No, I gave up. I'm annoyed that Nissan chose to continue the idiotic dealer service model with the leaf. The service dept is a joke, they knew less than I did about the car and said I'd have to leave the car for several hours even though the service bay was empty. They said I might be...

    Flashing Passenger Airbag Warning Light

    Anyone have ideas on clearing airbag light? The reset procedure does not clear the code. It is showing one long, two short which translates to 12.

    Passenger airbag disabled

    Anyone out there figure this out? I can make the airbag light go in and out of diagnostic mode now, but it won't turn off. So I get either continuous blinking or one long and two short blinks which repeat. I'm putting my foot on brake and pushing start button then pushing start button again as...

    2013 Feb Plugin Sales Discussion : Volt 1626 ; Leaf 653

    This from three of the most irrelevant car companies (IMO).

    Passenger airbag disabled

    I meant twice with no brake pedal for each cycle. What I think of as the accessory position on regular car with key. So if I push the start button twice, everything turns on (except ability to drive) I tried both ways, didn't work. I get either a continuously blinking airbag light or a...

    Fumes even on recirculate

    I'll obsess about this some more tomorrow. :) For now, with the fan blowing, I get fumes, even if recirculate is on. I'll see if the dealer would be willing to take a look. Funny thing - I was driving past a muffler shop today and I did a double take. Gas stations, muffler shops, jiffy lube...

    Passenger airbag disabled

    This trick isn't working for me on a 2013 - is there some subtle step I'm missing? Are you pushing the brake pedal or just hitting the start button twice? I've tried lots of variations but so far the red triangle and airbag always come back. Maybe something else is messed up? All my buttons and...

    Fumes even on recirculate

    Well, I guess I should have been more clear in my original post. :oops: So of course there is a "recirculate" button on my Leaf but i noticed that when I turned it on to avoid a big blue cloud of smoke I was about to drive through, it didn't really work, that is, I still smelled fumes. In my...

    How To: Reverse Backup Camera for SV Model w/ OEM Telematics

    16 =32 20=40 I kinda figured that. I'll check tonight after work. I tried the dealership where I bought the car. $108 if the code suggests user error. Will try another dealer. What happens if I pull the HV safety and the 12v battery for a few hours? Or can I pull the airbag ECU? Tried an...

    How To: Reverse Backup Camera for SV Model w/ OEM Telematics

    Sorry - I didn't see your post until late. My connector looks exactly like the one in your pictures but I'll try to take a picture tomorrow. What is the "telematics" unit - is that the radio/nav thing? The camera mod works great BTW, but I'm stuck with the damn blinking airbag light. Tried all...

    Flashing Passenger Airbag Warning Light

    I'm stuck! i've got a red triangle up in the "eyebrow" and an airbag light, but the light flashes very slowly. this happened after I forgot to reconnect the passenger air bag indicator. Once I reconnected the plug, the flashing stopped, but I still have that annoying airbag light. It changes...

    No 2013 SL Premiums Left?

    Or just add a camera if you have navigation. It's supported by the nav/radio head unit - just have to buy the hatch handle with the hole in it (about $100) and put in a $25 camera.

    How To: Reverse Backup Camera for SV Model w/ OEM Telematics

    I just successfully connected a $25 audiovox camera (from Amazon.com) to a new 2013 SL. Night vision is so so but daytime image is good and does not appear reversed. FWIW, if you point the camera towards the front of the car, the image will be "backwards" but if you point it to the back, the...

    2013 good price?

    There's not that much diff. between loaded SV and SL, so maybe you could have shaved a few bucks a month down - $300 a month is OK for me with zero out the door. Buyer's remorse is inevitable on car purchases.

    Climate Control on Steering Wheel

    In the pacific northwest, the Leaf is always fogged up. I have to run AC and heat all day every day or I can't drive. Stupid design - wonder if I could put some of that anti-fog goop for like ski googles. I'm constantly fiddling with the climate control to extend my range but now that I've found...

    Fumes even on recirculate

    I just spoke to a Nissan Leaf certified technician and he told me that there is no recirculate in the 2013 Leaf (he didn't say about earlier models). I'm so sick of breathing fumes that I'm seriously considering getting rid of the car. My wife wanted to know why my clothes smelled like exhaust...
