Haha I had no clue about this either!
Very handy this and nice spot!

They will assume that because you have already driven one you don’t need to be shown around it, even if some changes are evident.

After having several Biza's with no walk round or details explained, when I got my 280 (first Leon) the dealer went into all the changes with me on pick up.

I would be lying if I said I didn’t let out a noise and done a little dance!

I can understand Joe public not knowing this. Most cars have something similar now.

The Mk 2's was a bit different as it slotted on, but the MINI's and Mark 3's have all been the same.

However @paddy6789 has stood next to me when I was filling my car up...

 

[Damo H]

Maybe someone should set a thread up for the Mark 3s...

"Things you need to know about your mark 3"

1) Fuel filler cap
2) Holding button to fold wing mirrors in
3) Link of things to do if your mirrors don't fold in.
4) The clips for the rear seat belts.
5) Cubby hole under the driver and passengers seat (if not electric seats).

I'm sure there are more.

he was probably busy working out how much he could save with his v-power app.

6) How do I adjust my lights
7) When and What to service on my car
8) Map updates
9) When is Cupra Mode on and not on even when it says it is
10) How to use the search function
11) Boot Handle staying up

I'm sure there are more.

Added a few more for you.

There is a search function on the Leon Mk 3? Is it in settings?

Hehehe Just kidding

 

[zeffania]

I am shocked although when I had my ep3, I did a how to guide as people didn't know about it having a fuel cap holder too. All my cars have them. I hate seeing when people leave them swaying against the paint work. In the old days, they would put the cap and keys on the roof!!!!

I had this thought last night that I hadn’t mot’d the car yet (bought it in February) had a look online and it ran out a week ago.

Took it to a Kwik-Fit for an mot this morning and passed with flying colours.

Just tagging on to the Map Updates section, did i see you post somewhere (can't find it again) that you can now buy an SD card that will allow you to update the maps yourself online for about £80? if that's the case is that applicable for my MIB1?

To be fair I do not keep up to date on the map stuff as my maps work just fine for me and if they dont then i use the phone.
https://forums.seatcupra.net/index.php?threads/navigation-system-updates.388586/ is where I always go to for info and if i have read it correctly MIB1 is new map sd and pay the stealers to enable it on your car.

There are some Android headunits that will support the car menus and allow you to run Waze and or Google Maps but for me they are no good as they dont support Traffic Sign Recognition and Seat Sound but I keep hunting.

@Tell did say way back in the day some people managed to update the MIB1 but there were no clear instructions that others could follow so afraid after all the chat the answer is not that i am aware - but i dont pay much attention to it.
