In order to deactivate the message "Component protection active" on the Seat Leon display, you need to connect a diagnostic tool to the vehicle's OBD port: in this type of vehicle, the port can be found in the area immediately below the steering column.

Once the connection is made, you can select the specific car model and its corresponding version: this will allow you to remove the error that causes the message to appear on the radio screen.

Finally, you can disconnect the scanner and verify that everything is working properly.
