So i literally just bought the car. Will contact the dealer about this problem but asking if there is an easy fix to these things. So yes the problem is the mode button is not doing anything. Light changes to yellow for a bit when pressed and thats it. Then the side mirrors are not folding in when locking car or going down when putting reverse gear. The settings are both on but still nothing. Tried to do the soft reset but didnt do anything. Pressed the power button for a while but screen didnt restart. Only when i released the button it did a pop and restarted.
 
For the wing mirrors, try holding the lock button for a few secs, it was by default on my '13 default, changed it via carista

On my 2014 Leon, the mirrors do not fold by default on locking. I had to get the Carista OBD dongle and App to enable it. If you long hold the lock button, the windows (if open) will close after a few seconds and the mirrors should fold.
 
Pressing and holding the power button for 30 seconds and then releasing when the screen goes blank is the soft reset. This should sort out the majority of mode switch issues.

In terms of the mirrors folding, do you have one of the electric windows that doesn’t go fully up or down with and extended press? If this is the case you will need to recalibrate - for each of the windows, open all of the way down, then press and hold the window switch in the down position for 5 seconds. Then close fully and lift and hold the switch for 5 seconds. If not calibrated, the mirror fold will not work.

Finally, for the mirror dip to work, the mirror switch must be in the ‘L’ position for right hand drive cars and ‘R’ position on left hand drive cars. It should be noted, that on my MY2014 (2013) car this feature was disabled and I had to recode and change the adaptations for it to work - this was disabled because the mirror never returned to the original position post mirror dip.

Got the mirrors to work, it was just the problem that didnt have the switch in right posititon and didnt hold down the lock key. But mode button does not work even after i soft reset the system.
 
So update on this. Is that dealer said they wont fix it bcs they had no info about it even being in the car and just diagnose in local seat retailer is 140€/h wich is absurd amount of money for this. guess i just have to live without it
