Good point, those can get annoying and the moment you go into Drive, they stay on until forever. But if the Leaf is already parked and turned off, then it gets rid of that little annoyance, continue running AC to keep cool, etc.
Yep, I did. And even if there's a timer that keeps the headlights on for a while after the car's been turned off, turning it on with the barking brake on will turn the headlights off. Nice to know!
If we took our Barking brake with us to the drive-in, we wouldn't enjoy the movie very much, nor would anyone in the cars in our vicinity. She has a very loud bark and doesn't like the same movies we do.
