I want to make sure I'm using this correctly on a car I picked up this week.
Just plugged it into an outlet and then plugged into the cigarette lighter.
It initially showed the power light on and I then pushed the "mode" button until it toggled to the "car" icon lighting up ?
Anything else I need to know ?
Most instructions seem to indicate plug first into the car outlet, toggle to car icon on charger, then plug into power outlet.

Kind of a pain.
What happens if it’s plugged into the wall first and then the cigarette lighter ?
ouch. Almost as bad as driving away while it’s still plugged in. Ask me how I know. Lol
I have two Porsches on maintainers. After driving out of the garage with each car while still plugged in, I ordered red "REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT" tags, and attach them to the keys with a carabiner. When not attched to the keys, they are on a small wall hook next to the charger.

Mine goes from wall outlet into into 12v socket through open driver's window. Impossible to drive out while unplugged
I made a slip noose type knot in the charger cable that I hang around the shifter when connecting it to the footwell socket. It makes a good tactile and visual reminder...
