Leon MK 3 Tips and Tricks

If your engine dies on the green light (too low throttle and quick release of the clutch), pressing clutch again will start engine again without need to use key..
Very good for women drivers.

Happens to me sometimes from the slip of the clutch. I drive a 1.6tdi skoda for work and then on the weekends I get in my fr184 and forget the power difference and stall it haha

Well, it happens to me sometimes as well, otherwise I would not know about this cool feature.
The same reason - switching cars..

I got in the car tonight and found the lighting on the door panels had changed from white to red! seems SWMBO had changed from normal mode to sport, caught ya woman.

One thing I've noticed how so many people struggle to find where to input a postcode on the nav.

If you go to enter the Town name, at the bottom left of the keyboard is PTCD (I think) press this and you can enter the postcode.

Another thing is that you can change the keyboard from ABC to QWERTY. That's in the keyboard settings somewhere.

Thanks!! That was stressing me out lol

What the hell?! Didn't know this, thanks!

do it on first press not second otherwise you are also turning off deadlocks

1) Holder for petrol cap while filling. Took me over 2 years to work this out, instead of letting it hang on the strap to get covered with drips of petrol when removing the nozzle.



2) Electric mirrors won't fold over 30 miles/hour, or sometimes when stopped!

Everyone found the cubby holes under the drivers and passenger seat

Thanks for the petrol cap! Never realised in 3.5 years of mk3s

Don't forget that if you lock the doors, and then press and hold the button (so 2 presses) again to fold the mirrors/close the windows you are also turning off the cars ultrasonic/microwave sensors....

Did not know this, this is how I've been locking the car.... well not any more. Thanks

Is there a button inside the car to fold mirrors in? 2015 FR with tech pack?

Turn the knob you use to adjust the mirrors. It also turn to a heated mirror setting.

I only have one 'cubby hole' under the driver's seat. Should I have one under the passenger as well?
My previous MKII Leon only had one under the passenger seat.

My car is a 2015 FR150TDi

Might be that I have the cupra buckets with one each side

Depends on the age. The first ones came with one on both sides. My one has one under both seats but it's a 63 plate

Classic case of penny-pinching again I guess. Cheers guys.

This is probably one of the very few things I don't like; on my Mazda3 the heated mirrors were linked to the rear window demister. I always end up leaving the mirrors on my Leon on the heated setting without realising.

Today I discovered on my 6.5" media system plus that (at least) on BT I can skip songs by sliding finger on the screen from right to left or the other way...no need to find the small next/prev buttons on the screen

... Or you could just use the buttons on the steering wheel, and save yourself the hassle of touching the screen entirely.
