Hidden features you didnt know of.

I feel proper thick today. despite thinking i'd done a good job reading the brochure for my 2014 leon mk3, instruction book etc. Today i discovered a "Secret" tray underneath the drivers seat!

Probably would have stayed undiscovered if not for some errant pound coins making a break for freedom

So anyone got any secrets to share? or amusing stories!

*goes back to thinking about what to put in undertray*

There's one under the passengers seat as well but as you mentioned..what to put in there? never used it in one yr of owning the car

I keep a woolly hat and a pair of gloves in mine, for those days oot with the dog and the weather is colder than expected when it's walk time.

Have you found the one under the headlight switch?

Only realised this one the other week: The centre arm rest can slide forward if you prefer it in a different position. Noticed it on one in the SEAT dealer the other week whilst waiting for mine to get serviced and thought "Weird, wonder if mine does that". It does.

Old fashioned paper maps under the drivers seat because when you don't really have a particular finishing point or route in mind they are invaluable. And a folding saw and spade under the passengers just because.

I once put a bottle of lucozade under the drivers seat. It got stuck and I had to rip the door off to get it out. The damn bottle burst in the tray and the lucozade went everywhere. Probably the first time the missus saw me lose my head! I've never used the tray since plus it no longer has a door

box of spare fuses and a torch in mine

A spade , yes, I can accept that. But a folding saw? What is in the boot, disposable overalls, quicklime and a body bag? Or do you keep pigs?

Took me three years to find that....

The saw was for the timber I occasionally purchase to cut it down and fit in.

I found this feature to be pretty useless, at least on my car, if pulled forward it soon works it way back after a few miles driving with my arm resting on it.

Would rather it wasn't there and I was able to get the seat lower.

I only realised I had a CD player the other day! Never use the glovebox.

You can also adjust the height of the arm rest.

How do you adjust the height?

If you lift it slightly it should lock into a higher position. Think it has about 4 'steps' , to reset it open it fully then close it.

Oh I knew that, but then it's open.
