In comparing the Owner's Manuals for the 2011 LEAF and the 2012 LEAF, I noticed that the VSP Off Switch is no longer shown or mentioned. I wonder if it has been removed for the 2012 model year?

Have you heard the VSP yet? I can barely hear the front one even with my windows down, and the back-up one isn't that bad either...very unobtrusive.

What else is different?
How does that heated wheel feel?

I've had Leaf owners produce the sound for me. It's not very loud yet some folks here on MNL are so dead set on turning it off every time they start, disabling it, trying to make it default to off... :roll:darelldd said:LEAFfan said:Have you heard the VSP yet?

One almost wonders why it would be included/needed/useful if it can't be heard. How much are we paying for this lovely, useless feature?

This isn't my experience. My wife says it sounds like an airplane landing (in a cool way, but also a loud way). Backup, too. I always feel embarrassed whenever I am backing up around people (only recently realized the VSP button also turns the backup off - hey, I'm a little slow OK?). If the disable button is removed on the next model, I think a LOT more people will be considering more permanent options.
Does the VSP turn off when you put the LEAF in neutral/park? When the car is moving in a parking lot is a prime situation when I'd think the VSP should be on.Stanton said:The back-up part of the VSP is actually useful; I can only hear the low-speed part when I'm pulling in the garage. However, when I'm driving/sitting in a parking lot I often turn it off (just don't like the dull whirrrr).
