Thanks for posting this topic. I have so many things to still learn about my 4 month Leaf.
My 2022 auto-locks the door locks at some point after I get going. I think it's speed based. So the responder that said once up to 15 mi/hr - that tracks for me. And thanks to who posted about where in the very BIG manual the setting is is - I'll check this out.
Not sure if I'll turn it off or not. I'm used to manual control over my locks. My old car (BMW) had a nice big button in the center console that I could find in the dark through touch and I used it for both lock and unlock. Although the car would auto-unlock once the door handle was pulled (presumably only in park, never tried otherwise).
My new Leaf doesn't not auto-unlock when the door handle is pulled. Driver side or passenger side. This makes my hubby in the passenger seat get annoyed... so I guess it would better if they could auto-unlock. And I would have a less annoyed hubby
But there are certainly other settings that I would LOVE to override or configure my way:
1) I would love to get rid of the incessant beeping on the "seat belt warning". When I pull out of or into my driveway or garage I purposely do not have my seatbelt on as it's too restrictive to me. I'm a very short person and lift my butt out of the seat to back out of my garage or my driveway to get underway. And I like doing this without my seatbelt on. But once I'm underway I always put my seatbelt and have done for the the last 30 years plus after seat belts became the law.
2) I would love to turn off or down the damm "sonar" noise that my car makes when the car in in reverse. This one did send me to the manual and there is a way to defeat this noise or at least turn it down. Which I plan to do soon
But If anyone knows of a way to make "put your seatbelt on" ding go away or re-config it to be less annoying I would appreciate it. Even if it means buying one of those LeafSpy devices I would do that in a heartbeat as I HATE the seat belt dinging noise. If it chimed like 3 times and shut up or chimed 3 times and then stopped for a second or 3 before doing it again I would even find that to be a relief. Thanks. I've never had the seat belt ding on any car I've owned (only when I rented late model cars) until now and it doesn't make me anymore likely to wear my seatbelt. Okay maybe it does since I want to turn of that damm ding. But it makes me resent the car. But I always use my seat belt with driving is underway because seatbelts save lives.
